New York Times bestselling author Jefferson Bethke delivers a powerful critique of the Western notion of the nuclear family and calls us to a sweeping new paradigm that brings not only longed-for stability but also radical blessings to the world.

In Take Back Your Family, Jefferson Bethke uncovers the historic events that led to our obsession with the nuclear family, then exposes the devastating effects of our current "me culture."
