Book Synopsis



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.

What an impactful resource!

Jefferson Bethke’s newest book is officially one of my favorites! He challenges the modern idea of what it means to be a family and shares such an eye-opening perspective on what a family team can look like. Bethke dives into important history behind families in American culture and gives practical/impactful ways to intentionally develop more of a “family team” and bring back more biblical/Christ centered ideals for the family. Still in awe of the impact of this one for my family personally and I would definitely recommend it!

Mind Blowing - Well Researched & Relatable

5 out of 5 stars
LColumbus - 4 years ago
Jefferson Bethke's Take Back Your Family is a game changer. Your mind will be blown as you realize what family can be & should be. And I'm not talking about the nuclear family (2 parents, 2 kids) ideal so many of us subscribe to. Jefferson uses the analogy of a sporting team to describe God's vision of family. Teams are made up of individuals who work together, they are primarily about the group as they have a shared identity and mission. Within a team, there are coaches who are "concerned with creating the best possible outcome...[asking the question] how can I help you flourish? Coaches teach, coach, mentor, create vision, plan and strategize. Therefore EVERY family can be a team - it's not about measuring up to an ideal, rather rallying together on mission with the players & coaches you currently have. Through funny and heart warming examples, family spotlights and practical ideas to implement Jefferson equips readers with the tools they need to hit stop, rethink and build a family according to the Biblical design. The best part, Jefferson stresses over and over again there is no guilt or shame for not having started or done something counter productive to the family team you wish to create.
