Family Discipleship lays out a simple but powerful framework for discipling your children: time, moments, and milestones. "Time" is planned time like morning devotions; "moments" refers to spontaneous opportunities; "milestones" refers to marking significant occasions like a graduation or death in the family. The book strikes an excellent balance between big-picture strategy and in-the-weeds tactics.
