Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family was created to be powerful. Adam and Eve were commissioned to tend the Garden of Eden, and their children were supposed to reproduce the culture of the Garden over the whole world. Unfortunately, in the Garden we were separated from the Father and family lost its identity, its purpose, and its power. Although we were orphans, the Father never stopped pursuing us, and "when the fullness of time had come," our loving Daddy sent Jesus on a rescue mission. He restored us back into the presence of the Father and to our identity. Family was and still is the Father's plan. The time is now for families to be restored and play a critical role in the "restoration of all things." This book provides key strategies that bring healing to your own heart, to your family relationships, and to the inheritance mindset. The result will be a restoration of power and influence that was your family's destiny from the beginning of time
Download or read book Restoring the Father to the Family written by C. Russell Yates and published by Intaglio. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RESTORING THE FATHER TO THE FAMILY is a powerful, personal & compelling story of the traditional family under siege. One fourth of American families are now categorized as traditional as compared to seventy percent in 1940. The decline of 'family values' & a rising incidence of poverty & crime has been associated with the decline of the traditional family. The vicissitudes of life have revealed to the author what multiple regression tables suggest to sociologists. The author confronts the new, popular ideals for male-female relationships using his personal experiences, Biblical analogy, & deep Christian faith to argue that benevolent & authoritative fatherhood is the foundation for loving & fruitful relationships & a more secure & healthy society. The root of the problem is that as the traditional family disappears, children lose their fathers. Increasingly, the mother shoulders responsibility for the entire family. The male is, more & more, taking responsibility only for himself--he is doing poorly even there. His procreative function continues, but in a sporadic manner. Once begun, the missing father syndrome becomes self-perpetuating & the family becomes dysfunctional. Order from: Intaglio Press, P.O. Box 9952, College Station, TX 77842.

Without any real, lasting intervention, this cycle continues and expands from generation to generation--unless an individual does what it takes to stop it.Marvin Charles is living proof that this is possible.Combining heart-wrenching realities with vital statistical information that graphically portrays the problem of fatherlessness in our society, Becoming DADS lays out practical strategies for restoring absentee fathers to their families and helping them develop the skills they need to be engaged and effective dads.

Download or read book Restoring Family Unity written by Albert M Pooley and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-08-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We see disturbing trends in society when one watches the news or scrolls through their social media feed. Divorce, fatherlessness, split families and domestic violence are some of the atrocities which have been the outcome for many years. Albert Pooley saw this trend in his Native American people and wanted to do something to help strengthen their families. He developed the Fatherhood Is Sacred(R) program promoting responsible fatherhood and strengthening individuals and families by laying a strong foundation of a purpose-driven life. Originally this book was written in manual form for Native American fathers and mothers taught by Mr. Pooley who is the founder of Native American Fatherhood and Families Association (NAFFA), located in Mesa, Arizona. As his message of that manual spread all over the country, there were many who wanted to buy the manual without taking the course to get the information. This was not the intent of the manual. To keep the integrity of the original intent of this program, we transformed the information in the manual to teach the principles of what Albert Pooley has taught since 2002 into this book, Restoring Family Unity: The Pathway to Building Strong Family Relationships. Mr. Pooley's ideals of the Creator, Choice, Vision, Teachable, Wisdom and Service are explained here with stories of participants who have benefited from Fatherhood is Sacred(R) and are strengthening their own families. Readers will find Restoring Family Unity: The Pathway to Building Strong Family Relationships inspiring as these principals will have a positive affect and will build relationships that will last forever.

Download or read book The Love of the Father written by Wesley Pennington and published by Urban Press. This book was released on 2022-12-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wes Pennington was in Jerusalem when he heard a small child cry out "Abba." That simple incident got him thinking about that Aramaic word, which Jesus often used when He talked to His Father. From there, God revealed to Wes a strategy to restore fathers to children and children to fathers. In this book, The Love of the Father: Abba's Plan to Restore the Family, Wes explains why we currently have an epidemic of fatherlessness, but also lays out a hope-filled plan that will reverse the trend and bring healing to families everywhere. What a refreshing and insightful approach to fatherhood. Wes removes the tension associated with the concept of fathers and dives into a healing perspective of Abba. The questions at the end of each chapter prompt a "stop and pray" moment which enables and invites wholeness. His moving honesty encouraged me to receive from Abba in order to be a better dad. His illustrations will move you to drop the "guard dog" that usually appears when talking about fathers. Abba is abundant in revelation and beautiful in its effectiveness. Thank you, Wes, for celebrating how we can become better dads through a closer relationship with Abba. - Tony Palow, senior pastor at Restoration Church

Download or read book Father Hunger written by Douglas Wilson and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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
