Thank you to the NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the advanced audio copy of Family Discipleship That Works by Brian Dembowczyk in exchange for my honest review.

This audiobook was a quick listen and held very practical applications to help guide my family into discipleship. So many times we think about generations of long ago that “did it better”, whereas the author points out, they may not have. This book has encouraged me to start right where we are, to model Jesus and to apply ourselves. Each chapter has application questions and I will be utilizing them to move forward.

This is one of those books that is better suited to a written format than audiobook because there are checklists and ideas to review in each chapter. I definitely would have gotten more out of it if I had taken notes while listening. It also is one of those parenting books that it would have been more helpful to read when my children were younger because now they have ingrained habits that we are trying to break and it will be a whole lot harder to course correct. The good news is that you actually get applicable strategies in this book which is in alarmingly short supply in most parenting books. There are so many points that it becomes a bit overwhelming and the author reminds the reader to get back to basics and start with one or two strategies to get the ball rolling again. Overall both enjoyable and helpful.

This book is incredibly practical and approachable in style. It offers foundations for understanding family discipleship alongside recommendation to live it out with your family. Good text for ministry leaders.

As a mom of four, my husband and I are always looking for parenting books to help teach our kids to be like Jesus. And learn as we teach them. This book is absolutely fantastic!!! I loved every page. Every family should have this on their bookshelf.
