Parent-Driven Discipleship is a timely and much-needed work. In a day in which the idea of parenting and the idea of discipleship is grossly misunderstood we need clarity and biblical substance to bring us back to a right understanding. Michael Kennedy’s book does just that. It is well written, accessible, and will be a great help to parents seeking to honor God and raise their children rightly. Highly recommended!

Parent-Driven Discipleship presents a message that every church and parent needs to hear, making disciples begins in the home. Through biblically based teaching and practical application, Michael presents steps that parents and children can take together to follow after the Lord Jesus Christ. As an added bonus, the personal questionnaires allow the reader to interact with the material through self-assessment and reflection. Parent-Driven Discipleship offers those who dare to fully engage an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of their children and their churches.

The mind of a scholar and the heart of a father come together to unveil the essentials to great parenting in Parent-Driven Discipleship.

When I am looking for resources to help disciple parents and families, I am always looking for a resource that is practical and will be helpful for anyone that picks it up. I know that the families that pass through the door of my church building on Sunday morning come from all walks of life and I need to be ready to engage them with resources to help them be godly parents that raise the next godly generation. Parent-Driven Discipleship is going to be one of those tools that I quickly put in their hands.

Here are three reasons why I am sold on this book. 1) It is probing. This book easily leads the reader to critically think about where they are and where they need to be as parents. 2) It is practical. The reader is guided to take the biblical priority of parent driven discipleship with achievable steps that will build confidence in any mom or dad. 3) It is powerful. While biblically sound, it isn’t too deep to fly over the reader’s head, yet it challenges them enough to long to be a godly parent. God’s Word is intertwined throughout this book and the basis for Michael’s instruction rests on the Bible. God desires that Christian parents raise godly young men and women. I believe that Parent-Driven Discipleship will help us equip our church leaders and families to watch it come to fruition.
