In the Take Back Your Family Handbook , Jefferson Bethke gives families fifty-two weeks of practical tools and inspirational advice for creating a thriving family that makes an impact for the kingdom. Readers of Take Back Your Family were moved by Jefferson Bethke's eye-opening insights about the harm caused by idealizing the "nuclear family" in our culture. He challenged readers to discover and live by God's original and better plan for families as described in the Bible. Now, in the accompanying Take Back Your Family Handbook , he provides inspirational exercises and interactive tools for families to put that biblical truth into real-life practice. Each week for fifty-two weeks, families will discuss a "big idea" from the trade book and will be prompted to put it into action. In a special section called "The Family Summit," families are guided through a "year in review" and shown how to create a vision for their family's future. It also examines significant areas of family impact, areas of blessing and growth, rhythms and traditions, important stories or "stones of remembrance" to record, and more.
