Rob and Kat Martin open Raising the Remnant in a hospital room, not a classroom, with Rob holding his newborn son and whispering, "God, help me not mess this up." Drawing on their twenty years of combined experience in the ministry, teaching, and parenting, the authors introduce the R.E.M.N.A.N.T. framework—Root, Equip, Model, Name, Abide, Navigate, and Trust—as a practical rhythm for building biblical habits into a family's everyday life. Grounded in the story of Daniel and the biblical concept of a faithful remnant, the book first lays out the high calling of parenthood, then walks readers through each element of the framework. They pair their honest personal stories with scriptures, discussion questions, and hands-on activities families can try together.
Raising the Remnant is written in a warm, conversational, and refreshingly honest tone about the exhaustion and doubt that come with raising kids. Their opening story creates a trusting atmosphere rather than a parenting lecture. The R.E.M.N.A.N.T. framework gives real structure to a topic that could easily feel overwhelming, and the authors understand this very well. One thing I particularly appreciate is that they recommend readers spend a full week per chapter working through it alongside the Bible. This expands the reading experience from "just reading to learn" into "committing to learn and apply my learnings." Each chapter blends Bible study, testimonials, and practical activities that keep the pace moving without ever growing repetitive. Parent who want to disciple their kids intentionally, rather than leaving it to Sunday school alone, will find plenty of encouragement and usable tools in Raising the Remnant.
