Review: FAMILY-DRIVEN FAITH by Voddie Baucham, Jr.

If Part Washed were to get trampled by marmosets on one of his South American missionary trips, Voddie Baucham would be my favorite preacher. Since that's unlikely to happen, though, he's going to have the settle for this number two spot. I think he'll survive.

That said, I really liked this book. Throwing aside all the marketing jargon, this is a book on how to do married and raise children according to this Bible. Baucham builds a solid case, basing everything on the two pillars of Scriptures and his own experience.

The first makes it right. The Bible is at this point nearly 2000 years old, and people still have it for  guidelines in raising concerns. The reason is simple: its truths are timeless. They've been proven, the newest of them for almost two millennia.

Baucham's book is based on his experience in that in many places he simplly tells what he and his wife did. Since everything has been tested and is based on Scripture anyway, the reader can have a sense of confidence he doesn't always get from books like this.

I highly recommend it to married people and pretty much everybody else. I really liked this book.
