Book excerpt: Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

Download or read book Where Have All The Fathers Gone written by Gary Martin and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book HUSBANDS LOVE YOUR WIVES written by Edward D. Andrews and published by Christian Publishing House. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era where marriages face challenges from all sides, "HUSBANDS LOVE Your WIVES: How Should Husbands Treat Their Wives?" offers a Scriptural roadmap for men striving to emulate the love and leadership demonstrated by Christ. As the Apostle Paul has outlined, the husband is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church. This headship is not one of tyranny or arbitrary rule but one characterized by love, respect, and spiritual guidance. In this comprehensive guide, each chapter focuses on a distinct principle or practice crucial for husbands to internalize. The book begins by laying the foundation with "The Head of a Woman Is the Man," where the Biblical view of a husband’s role is carefully examined. Following chapters delve into gaining deep respect from one's spouse, the two keys to a lasting marriage, and how to build a strong and happy marital relationship. Through chapters like "Husbands—Recognize Christ’s Headship," the book underscores the essentiality of acknowledging the ultimate Headship of Christ over every Christian institution, including the family. Understanding the weight of this responsibility, the book provides "Wise Guidance for Married Couples" and elaborates on "Godly Conduct Within the Family Circle," helping men to lead their families in accordance with Biblical precepts. Children are not left out of the equation. With a chapter dedicated to training your child from infancy, the book provides essential tools to help instill a love for God and His Word from a young age. In a world filled with destructive influences, the book equips husbands to "Protect Your Family From Destructive Influences," emphasizing the role of the husband as the spiritual watchman of his household. With a view that a loving husband cultivates a wife who is "Dearly Loved," the book offers not just theoretical knowledge but practical steps in showing self-sacrificing love, maintaining peace in the household, and doing one’s part to promote a happy family life. Drawing from an objective Historical-Grammatical method of Scriptural interpretation, "HUSBANDS LOVE Your WIVES" is a must-read for every Christian husband committed to fulfilling his God-ordained role in the marriage. It is not only a book for married men but also for those contemplating marriage, as it sets the stage for what God expects and how immense the rewards are—both in this life and in the life to come—when His design for marital roles is followed. Whether you are a newlywed seeking guidance or a husband of many years wishing to enhance your marital relationship, this book serves as a timeless resource grounded firmly in the Word of God.

Download or read book A Faithful Man written by J. Mark Fox and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I believe understanding our role as leader in our homes is key not only to revival in our homes, but to revival in our churches, and even to revival in our nation." A Faithful Man is drawn from Fox's own passion to be the man in his home that his family needs, and to help other men do the same. Starting with his own story of wanderings and failures, Fox leads the reader into a biblical and practical understanding of what it means to be a prophet, priest, protector and provider. "Most husbands and fathers have a desire to lead their families, but they testify that they don't know how to lead. J. Mark Fox has solved that problem in his book A Faithful Man. Flowing out of a passion for Jesus Christ to be glorified in the lives and families of those who bear His name, Mark provides clear, biblical, practical, doable encouragement for men as leaders of their families. The heart-warming personal stories, interesting illustrations, and helpful examples make the book relational as well as entertaining. As you read you feel like you're visiting with a friend, a fellowlaborer in the field of family life. A Faithful Man, written in a simple, easy-to-read style, invites you to read on attentively much like someone prospecting for gold stays at his task - the prospect of another treasure on the next page or in the next chapter. Any man who seriously desires to be a Christ-like leader of his family will be encouraged and equipped by J. Mark Fox's A Faithful Man." - Norm Wakefield, Author, Speaker, and Executive Director and Founder of The Spirit of Elijah Ministries International "J. Mark Fox has provided the men of the contemporary church with an insightful handbook on what it means to be a Christian father. Grounded in Scripture and theologically sound, Fox writes in such a way that allows any man, wherever he is in his Christian walk, to understand, act upon, and fulfill his God-given right and responsibility to his family. This is a necessary book for the Christian home both today and in the years to come. What is so refreshing about the manner in which Fox writes is that he is not afraid to admit and confess that he has had to learn much of what he writes about through trial and error. Even more refreshing is the fact that he readily acknowledges he is still learning. J. Mark Fox demonstrates through his excellent illustrations, his brilliant use of Scripture, and his own personal testimony that men are called and directed by God to live a lifestyle of discipleship within their families." - W. Ryan Steenburg, Ph.D., Associate Pastor of the Christian Home, First Baptist Church of Prospect, KY; Executive Director, The Council for the Family-Integrated Church; Founder and Director, Daddy Discipleship J.

Book excerpt: Fatherlessness is a “rot that is eating away at the modern soul,” writes Douglas Wilson, and the problem goes far beyond physical absence. “Most of our families are starving for fathers, even if Dad is around, and there’s a huge cost to our children and our society because of it.” Father Hunger takes a thoughtful, timely, richly engaging excursion into our cultural chasm of absentee fatherhood. Blending leading-edge research with incisive analysis and real-life examples, Wilson: Traces a range of societal ills?from poverty and crime to joyless feminism and paternalistic government expansion?to a vacuum of mature masculinity Explains the key differences between asserting paternal authority and reestablishing true spiritual fathering Uncovers the corporate-fulfillment fallacy and other mistaken assumptions that undermine fatherhood Extols the benefits of restoring fruitful fathering, from stronger marriages to greater economic liberty Filled with practical ideas and self-evaluation tools, Father Hunger both encourages and challenges men to “embrace the high calling of fatherhood,” becoming the dads that their families and our culture so desperately need them to be. "Wilson sounds a clarion call among Christian men that is pointedly biblical, urgently relevant, humorously accessible, and practically wise." ?Richard D. Phillips, author of The Masculine Mandate: God's Calling to Men "Father Hunger illulstrates one of the greatest influences or lack thereof on the identity of a man: a father. Read a book that will strike an invisible chord in the lives of men both lost and found." ?Dr. Eric Mason, pastor of Epiphany Fellowship, Philadelphia
