About this listen

Read by the author.

Discover how to grow your family with intention and delight as you embrace God's original design for families.

New York Times bestselling author Jefferson Bethke delivers a powerful critique of the Western notion of the nuclear family and calls us to a sweeping new paradigm that brings not only longed-for stability but also radical blessings to the world.

The West's multi-century experiment with the nuclear family has failed. Its toxic hyper-individualism has left us with an unprecedented number of broken homes and rampant confusion over what a family is supposed to be. It's time for a change.

In Take Back Your Family, Jefferson Bethke uncovers the historic events that led to our obsession with the nuclear family, then exposes the devastating effects of our current "me culture." Now, writing from the visceral perspective of a father with three young children, he shares the values and strategies he and his family lean on in their quest to live as a community bonded by a shared mission, committed to mutually growing and thriving together.

In this groundbreaking book, you'll discover how to:

  • Embrace the radical Christian framework for creating family teams
  • Understand what it means to do life multigenerationally with other families
  • Create a family mission that energizes you and your kids
  • Develop family habits that lead to flourishing and peace

Take Back Your Family gives you the tools you need to grow your family with intention and delight. The practical ideas and true stories from families in all walks of life will give you the push you need to discover a completely new yet ancient way to do family. By returning to God's original design for families on earth, you can participate in the kingdom work that restores and fulfills your innermost desires for connection, contentment, and meaning.

I was interested in the subject matter as a young mum but sceptical about how relatable it would be for us not living in the US. But I loved the personal stories, the well researched chapters and the practical tips and ideas to use and practise in your family. I plan to read it again when I need inspiration for a family huddle. Grateful to the author for writing this timely book for this generation.
