R. Kent Hughes is a well-known Reformed evangelical pastor whose broader body of work reflects 5-point Calvinist soteriology and a high view of Scripture, though this particular volume focuses on practical family life rather than systematic theology. The book is part of Crossway's 'Disciplines of a Godly' series and is best used as a supplementary resource for family discipleship within a local church context.

Disciplines of a Godly Family covers such topics as establishing a solid family heritage, promoting affection between family members, encouraging godliness in children, using appropriate discipline, and helping children cultivate enriching lifelong habits. The Hugheses also offer tips for fun and affordable family vacations, creating family traditions, and starting a prayer notebook. They even give us a suggested list of books and videos that should be in every family's library.
For those struggling to parent their own children or to equip other parents for this task, a more practical, honest, and common-sense guide will be hard to find.
