Total Family Makeover: 8 Practical Steps to Making Disciples at Home, by Melissa Spoelstra {book review}

About the book

Train children in the way they should go; when they grow old, they won’t depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

God calls us as parents to be key disciple-makers in our children’s lives, but if we’re honest, some days it’s a battle just to get them dressed and ready for school on time. How can you mold their hearts when sometimes you can’t even find their shoes?

In Total Family Makeover, author Melissa Spoelstra gives parents a way--a sort of spiritual track to run on--when it comes to building family discipleship. She focuses on eight key habits of growth:

• Spending Time in Prayer
• Reading God’s Word
• Growing Through a Mentoring Relationship
• Finding Community in the Church
• Serving Others
• Taking Time to Rest
• Giving Back to God
• Sharing Your Faith

Disciples are made, not born. Whether your children are babes in arms or teenagers getting ready to leave the nest, making disciples at home starts with you! Give your family a makeover with this practical approach to helping your children learn what it means to be a follower of Jesus.

What I thought about the book

Total Family Makeover is written conversationally, and points to Jesus throughout as our model for discipling. This is a great resource for families with young children, as well as those of us who may be nearing the finish of our in-home parenting. It will be a great book to pass on to my children when/if the grand kids begin to arrive.
