Product Description
In her new book, 30 Ways in 30 Days to Save Your Family, author Rebecca Hagelin lays out 30 simple and concrete actions that parents can implement-one day at a time-to reconnect with their children and restore peace in their home. As a mother of three, a syndicated columnist, and specialist on family, culture, and media issues, Rebecca understands the frustration parents feel. She designed this book with working parents and busy families in mind. Moms and dads can read a chapter at soccer practice or while waiting in carpool and come away with practical solutions to common parenting problems that can easily be put to use.

Featuring a foreword by Sean Hannity, personal stories from Rebecca, as well as anecdotes from other parents, 30 Ways in 30 Days to Save Your Family offers common sense advice to help parents tackle everyday dilemmas.

Essential reading for parents! January 31, 2010
Catherine W. Fuss (ATLANTA, GA, US)
I had the pleasure of hearing Rebecca Hagelin speak at an event and bought her book shortly afterward. Her book did not disappoint at all. Such an easy read and full of practical resources and passionate tips about how to raise good kids and protect them. Loved her examples and sharing of her personal experiences.

There was a show on TV last week about a man who murdered his mother, wife and children because he felt that society had corrupted them to the point that they would not get into heaven. He decided that if he killed them they would be joined with Jesus in his kingdom forever. Praise Jesus Salvation!

a MUST read June 21, 2009

This book is a "must" read for parents. It encouraged me to not give up and give in to today's culture. I want to raise my children to have character and a strong moral compass. Thanks Rebecca for helping me do that!

How to engage and unite your family June 19, 2009

1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Most of us who have raised children know the exasperation and desperation that comes from wanting to help you children, doing the best you know how, and still having things blow up in your face. You have probably tried being the loving parent, the disciplinarian, the friend, and a hundred other approaches. And if you have several children (or more), you learn that each kid requires different things from you. You have to become a different kind of parent for each one.

Well, the modern world also steps in between the parent a child for its own benefit, but tells the kids that what it offers is better for them and more fun than those out-of-date parents. This does not help your chances for success. But this book can help you push back against those heavy odds.

Rebecca Hagelin is a pro-family activist and columnist who shares her own real-life experiences in struggling with raising kids in today's world. She offers us a book with 30 chapters that you can implement in one month (or two or three) by reading ahead, planning, and deciding your course of action. Each chapter is organized similarly. She first presents the challenge you face and its sources. She then presents a real world example of someone who has been through this challenge and often a section from her own life. Each chapter then asks you to date and sign a commitment to implement that challenge. Many chapters also have a section that guides you to sources for more help.

What do you do over those 30 days? Well, I am not going to list every chapter title, but the basic pattern is to commit to the daily battle you will face. You have to stay engaged to do this. Then you envision what you want your family to be, assess where you and then you have the size of the gap you want to close. She then takes you through the challenges TV represents, how to make your home more inviting so your kids want to be there, having family time, good friends, the difference between principles and preferences, writing letters to your kids, how to battle the culture without making it a personal battle with your kid, taking charge of your child's education, how to have meaningful discussions with your child (and why that's not a lecture from you), parental TV controls, movie screening, family quiet time, being a great example, clothing and dress, Internet filters, online social networking, connecting work and reward, and much more. The last chapter is you making your own next list.

The author uses a frank and openly religious point of view. Frankly, I enjoy it and find it refreshing, but I thought you ought to know this. For me, it is yet another reason to recommend the book. It may or may not be something you want. However, even if religion makes you squeamish I would urge you to overlook it for all the other benefits the book offers you in helping you strengthen your family.

Don't just enjoy this book; use it.
