Matthew
An encouraging read, if not a bit meandering. Chandler and Griffin do a good job of exhorting one to family discipleship, both challenging one to rise higher while encouraging one to rely on Christ. Biblical quotations are extensive in this thoroughly reformed book. My main complaint is that the authors tend to ramble on going back and forth between guarding against opposite extremes. There's some decent practical ideas, but again these seem to be buried in what can come across as unrefined brainstorm lists. If you're looking for some moral encouragement in family discipleship that's firmly rooted in Scripture, this may be a good read for you. If you're looking for practical advice, I'd probably point you to "The Spiritually Vibrant Home" first.
