Where Have All The Fathers Gone? (eBook)

This book is intended to encourage men, husbands, and fathers to understand that God has given them unique abilities to lead their families through all the difficulties the secular world can throw at them.The God-given task of a Christian father is so much more than working long days at a difficult job just to pay the bills and keep food on the table. Wives and children also need their father to lead his family in a God-ordered manner that will help them navigate the temptations and evil of living in a godless world.Children at every stage in their lives need their father's strong godly leadership and guidance along with their mother's unique God-given gifts so decisions the children eventually make as adults will also be guided by God himself.With the Bible as its authority, this book will provide the specific duties God requires of a Christian husband and father. Not only will it point out a husband's responsibilities to his wife, but it will also show that his wife, too, has been given specific gifts from God that differ from her husband's, though both are necessary for raising godly children.It will help make family time more practical in a busy world of long work hours and conflicting school activities because meaningful family time need not be crammed into an everyday schedule.Even the rebellious child is not neglected in these pages, and parents will be given encouragement in dealing with such a child.In short, this book will help fathers to lead their families God's way without resorting to threats and physical punishment. Fathers will learn in these pages that God's way produces peace, contentment, and the lasting joy of true biblical love in a family.
