Product Description

If you thought your parenting responsibilities ended after eighteen years per child, you thought wrong. Instead, it's your privilege to lead your family--and influence succeeding generations--for a century...or more.

Anchor Man presents the high calling of fatherhood, the traits of a Christian father, the adventures that await him as he interacts with his children, and the significance of his role as a good family man. Steve Farrar presents these roles and responsibilities in a way any man wanting to increase his understanding of his place in the family, and our society, can put into action every day.

Anchor Man encourages, exhorts, and demonstrates with biblical concepts how to raise a godly family and how to anchor that family in Christ for the next one hundred years. Farrar's unique teaching style blends humor and practicality with the tools fathers need to become all that God intended them to be as the leaders of their families.

"When a man gets serious about following Christ with his whole heart," Farrar says, "God desires to not only pour out His blessing on that man, but on his children, and his children's children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very encouraging and practical book on Fathering, October 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Anchor Man: How a Father Can Anchor His Family in Christ for the Next 100 Years (Hardcover)

Steve has done an outstanding job on explaining the purpose of fathering and how to go about doing it. The illustrations that he uses aren't ones that you just quickly read over and forget, but ones you take with you. With so much fluff coming at fathers from the media, this book really gives you something you can sink your teeth into.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any mans' library, January 19, 2000

By	Paul Taylor (north carolina,usa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Anchor Man: How a Father Can Anchor His Family in Christ for the Next 100 Years (Hardcover)

I passed this book on to a gentleman who was bound and determined to get a divorce. This book along with prayer turned his life around. He is now involved in a local church and is committed to keeping is family together as one godly unit! Everyone should have this in their library to save a marriage or family. If you are considering divorce or seperation, please read at least the first four chapters of this book.
