World Proofing Your Kids

by Lael F. Arrington

Crossway Books

The subtitle of this book is misleading. It reads: “Helping Moms Prepare Their Kids to Navigate Today’s Turbulent Times.” While the author does direct some of her comments directly to moms, the message is just as important and applicable for dads. The book is really about introducing children to worldview thinking and application.

Author Lael Arrington lays a background for parents who are new to the subject then shows how to communicate that knowledge to your children through practical and fun family activities. She tackles current issues from a worldview perspective—abortion, the media and entertainment, feminism, politics, etc.—highlighting current events that make the issues real. In addition, she shows parents how to have family devotion time that children will look forward to as a key to developing worldview understanding.
