Product Description

Using kings of the Old Testament as character studies, Steve Farrar examines the critical role a father plays in preparing his son to become a godly man. What separated the good kings from the bad kings was a father who made time commitments to mentor his son, by modeling biblical manhood. Do you want your son to become a man of regal character? Then this book is for you!

From the Back Cover

Every son longs for his father’s direction, for Dad to make the son a leader.
“King me!” the son cries out. . . .  God calls upon fathers to mentor their sons.

—Steve Farrar

 

You can be the father your son needs and wants you to be  . . . no matter what his age.  Bestselling author and men’s ministry leader Steve Farrar goes back to the kings of the Old Testament to discover timeless lessons that will prove invaluable to today’s fathers.  From these rich biblical narratives Farrar lifts the principles and inspiration you need to build your son into the man God wants him to be.  With a rare honesty Farrar shows you how to crown your son king of his life by challenging him to honor and serve the King of kings with character and courage. 

 

 

King Me is a masterpiece.  Every caring dad really needs to read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book For Fathers Who Take Their Role Seriously, July 19, 2005

By	Scott Eibel (Tampa, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the best book I've read on raising boys. It is easy to ready, practical and supported by biblical principles. I highly recommend it to principled men who take their role as fathers very seriously.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required Reading for a Young Father!!, July 22, 2005

By	ckelly (Martin, TN) - See all my reviews

I rarely read and if I do it is typically fiction (last book I read was 2 years ago). But I might read this book twice! King Me is so full of insightful information from an experienced father that undoubtably each new "pass through" will provide additional guidance for young fathers in raising boys in decadent days.

Rarely have I ever taken time to review a product BUT this book should be in the hands of everyone responsible for the soul of a young boy. The only downside to this book for a "typical non-reader" is feeling drawn to read more of Mr. Farrar's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars EVERY FATHER SHOULD HAVE THIS BOOK, October 3, 2005

By	H. Breier "www.agentjp.com" (GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a female working on a talk to give to men. I saw this book and thought I would see what it has to offer. I now can't believe I've allowed my children to be adults without knowing this information. If you have a son, he deserves the best and this book is the best guideline I've seen to raise boys to men.
