The Values Driven Family is to the home what the Purpose Driven Life is to the church. This is an excellent book for laying (or firming up) a Christian foundation for families. It covers vision, training, love, and discipline, as well as practical matters of family life such as budgeting and scheduling. If you are looking for an excellent overview of the Christian home, look no further--this is it.

I especially liked the section that covers twelve critical character areas. I think this is a great resource for parents who are trying to define what strengths their kids need to develop as well what they need to reinforce in their own lives.

The Carriers do a fantastic job laying a biblical foundation, using an amazing arsenal of Scripture. As a result, one of the things I like the most about it is that it's balanced in all areas. It carries a very strong biblical emphasis without taking extreme positions based on Christian cultural or personal preferences. It's the type of book you can feel excited about giving to a friend without adding disclaimers about the parts that are off-base or offensive.
