Home Invasion: Protecting Your Family in a Culture That's Gone Stark Raving Mad

Home Invasion is one of the most thought provoking books on our culture war. Rebecca Hagelin basically lays it all out in sometimes frank language on the pressures facing our teens via the media and culture. She is not promoting 100% sheltering rather getting lazy parents motivated in standing up for what is truly good for our kids. First of all, let me say that some people who have bashed this book have been very unfair and probably did not really read the book. This woman is not talking about sheltering or locking up your kids at all. Period. In fact, she encourages letting go of your kids and building trust and privileges. She stresses kids need to know right from wrong and to have limits. Go, go back and read this book cover to cover. It is true that kids and teens are not allowed to grow up on their own. The current pop culture wants kids to learn about all kinds of sexuality at a very young age and they want them to look adult by 10! Ms. Hagelin points out many ways she has had to explain things to her kids that they really aren't ready for. Many of her examples are eye openers. What she points out in this book makes sense and if we parents don't take a stand now, the future of our country values is in grave danger. There have been many books written on the current culture war and many want to draw a line along party lines. Ms. Hagelin makes no secrets as to how she votes however, she points out that there are many "family values Democrats" out there and this book should not offend those of another party. She truly believes that all parents, regardless of political party, race or religion should get involved on the family side of the culture war. This is one of the best books currently out about how to fight the culture war for your family. A must buy!

Someone at work once said "I may as well buy my kids "Grand Theft Auto" because they'll just sneak around and play it at their friend's houses anyway." I said "yes, but they'll be sneaking, they'll know they're sneaking, and they'll know they're sneaking because you don't approve of it and that it's wrong." People need to take responsibility and tell their children what is right and wrong, otherwise they won't know. I was already following the advice in this great book, if society wants to corrupt my kids with "cultural terrorism" they'll have to get through me to do it.

Rebecca Hagelin addresses many aspects of everyday life where families are bombarded by negativity and a culture of corruption. Her no-nonsense attitude and pratical advice is perfect for families across the nation.

This is a great book for all parents. A must read for parents facing the challenges of raising children in today's society. Ms. Hagelin does an excellent job laying out the need for good parenting.

Ms. Hagelin could not be more on the mark. This book is a must read by any parent concerned about the welfare of their children and family in the crazy world we find ourselves in today. Every important aspect on the assault on the family is covered thoroughly and thoughtfully. It is about time we had something this useful in the fight to preserve the American family.
