About this book

Christianity Today Book Awards Finalist—Marriage, Family, and Singleness

Family discipleship is one of the most basic ways God has ordained to build his kingdom—and yet most parents struggle to do it consistently.

Amid our busyness, the multitude of different approaches, and our own self-doubts, the deck seems stacked against us. But Brian Dembowczyk isn't here to pile on the guilt or to make us feel like failures. As a parent himself, he knows this struggle firsthand.

In Family Discipleship That Works, Dembowczyk says that the goal of discipling our kids isn't just passing along head knowledge. It's teaching them to act like Jesus. The Bible itself is not just a story but a drama in which we ourselves participate, and our kids have roles to play too. Dembowczyk offers practical advice and a wealth of ideas for teaching our kids to imitate the character traits of Jesus himself as we "act out" the Christian life together.

As parents, we are indeed called to disciple our children to know and act like Jesus. By God's grace, that's a task we can do—not out of guilt but with joy and good hope.

Family Discipleship That Works . . .

Invites parents into more active family discipleship without judgmentalism, but with grace and understanding
Presents "imitating Jesus" as a new model for understanding and enacting family discipleship
Includes practical, achievable advice for parents to live out these principles in their homes
