As you might know, the other day I had a “revelation” of sorts thanks to a few of my mommy blogging friends that lead me to purchase this book:

Family Driven Faith: Doing What It Takes to Raise Sons and Daughters Who Walk with God

I ordered the book and received it on Saturday. Although I’ve been known to devour a book in one night this didn’t happen with this book. I’m reading it every chance I get and as of right now I’m on Chapter 6. I am amazed so far and am taking in as much as I can this first go around.

Yes, I plan to read it again. This time around I’m reading it all in one swoop and then I plan to break the book apart and apply what I’ve learned from it in my own family. This book is THAT good!

When I ordered the book, Annette told me this:

Be prepared for a totally different way of looking at things.

I was happy as a clam when I read those words in my twhirl box.

Honestly, I am looking for something that will give me a new outlook on how I raise my kids because, quite frankly I’m not doing the job I was given to do. God entrusted ME, little ole me, to raise them and raise them the way they should be, the way he has instructed me to do so. For once I can honestly say, I’m ready for the challenge!

I know it won’t be an easy task. Nothing worth doing is right? I also know that not only will I be teaching my kids how to live a life they can be proud of, but I will also be learning so much myself as I go.

I’m on a journey to a family driven by faith. As I read through various chapters in Voddie Baucham Jr.’s book I invite you to join us as our family makes the transformation. Laugh with us, cry with us, and please do interact. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on the whole journey.
