Charting Your Family's Course

Eric Buehrer, a former public school teacher and president of Gateways to Better Education, tackles a question many Christian parents wrestle with quietly: how do you raise a faith-centered family while your kids spend most of their week in a secular school? Drawing on his teaching background and advocacy work, he offers practical guidance for navigating that tension. The topic is genuinely underserved in Christian parenting literature, and Buehrer's dual perspective as educator and faith advocate gives him real standing to address it. The honest caveat is that the book was published in 1994, and guidance around public education law and cultural dynamics has shifted considerably since then. For timeless family-values framing it still has merit, but readers should seek updated resources for anything policy-adjacent.
