Book Description

Publication Date: April 8, 2008

All men are fathers.

The inherent purpose of all men is fatherhood.

Whether a man is married or single, and whether or not he has children, he is designed by God to fulfill the role of father in the lives of those around him. It is his calling to reflect the creative and cultivating nature of God.

In The Fatherhood Principle, Dr. Myles Munroe explains that although every man is called to be a father, knowing how to live in this purpose is not automatic. We must
understand the characteristics and master the skills of fatherhood. Fulfilling the position and role you were created for means exhibiting qualities of leadership, integrity,
responsibility, and obedience to the ultimate Father of fathers our Father God in heaven.

This book provides key principles and insights that will teach you how to fulfill the role of father in your personal sphere of influence. In clear and compelling terms, Dr. Munroe explains how a man can become source, nourisher, sustainer, protector, teacher,
disciplinarian, leader, head, caring one, and developer.

Discover God s original blueprint for men and step into your true purpose in life.

This review is from: The Fatherhood Principle: Priority, Position, and the Role of the Male (Hardcover)

In anticipation of this year's Father's Day (June 21), I promised myself that I'd read one book on fatherhood--I purchased Dr. Myles Munroe's The Fatherhood Principle: Priority, Position, and The Role of the Male.

I read it with great delight. One paragraph in particular really got my attention:

At the root of sin is the absence of real fathers in our world. The sin problem is a fatherhood problem, because sin is the result of a man--Adam--who declared independence from God, his Source and Father. Adam believed he didn't need a father and that he could be a father without the Father. That is when the human race fell into rebellion against God. (pp. 81-82)

When I think of the growing number of single mothers, esp. in the African American communities, because a male sired a child but didn't have the guts to be a father; when I think of the gender-gaps in our churches; when I think of corruption in corporate America; when I think of pimps--I have to agree with Dr. Myles Munroe: "At the root of sin is the absence of real fathers in our world."

"The absence of real fathers in our world" also applies to "fathers" in a home who are really not true fathers: when "fathers" leave it up to the mothers to be the fathers--to sustain, nurture, protect, teach, discipline, disciple, lead, care, develop, and so on...

okay - but limited perspective; I would have liked a more well-rounded point of view; addressing other authorities on the topics would have been nice.
