Most men want to be strong spiritual leaders of their families. They just don't know how because they've never seen it modeled.
That's why Steve Farrar wrote Point Man thirty years ago. With more than half a million copies sold, it's the go-to resource for how to faithfully lead and love your family, walk boldly through challenging seasons of marriage and parenting, stand firm against personal temptation, and forge a faith that shines bright.
Yet the war on the family has only intensified since this trusted guide first came out. Whether through entertainment, social media, or legislation, our world seems determined to undermine the traditional family-which means faithful spiritual leadership is needed more than ever.
This revised and updated edition will equip you to confidently navigate the cultural and societal forces affecting your family, such as shifting views of masculinity and femininity, the declining influence of church and faith, and fractured perspectives on morality.
Packed with powerful inspiration, clear biblical direction, and contemporary examples, Point Man provides the strategies you need to lead your family safely through today's battles and on to victory.
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.

Sometimes the wilderness is the only place God can get your undivided attention.
Everyone finds himself or herself in a wilderness at some point: financial wildernesses, emotional wildernesses, relational wildernesses, health wildernesses, reputation wildernesses, failure wildernesses, unemployment wildernesses-the list goes on and on. In those moments, we are utterly dependent on God for well-timed help. If he doesn't come through, we're finished. For forty years, two million Israelites were in the wilderness, and God fed them supernaturally every morning with manna, teaching people who doubted him he can be trusted with everything they needed to survive. This is a lesson we need to learn too. In personal stories and applications of biblical lessons, Manna reveals how God specializes in making a way where there is no way. He proved it every day to the nation of Israel, never missing a day of being faithful. He was never late, and he was never early. He was always just in time. And he will be for you.

In Gettin' There, bestselling author Steve Farrar delves into the book of Psalms to give men a new sense of continuity, direction, purpose, and perspective. The Psalms are like a marked trail through life, showing that others have walked ahead and faced many of the challenges, temptations, heartaches, and perplexities that men will encounter on their journeys.

Discover God’s remedy for fear. Fear has become a way of life. We fear for our finances, for an increasingly immoral culture, and for a nation that continues to shift away from godly principles. So it’s no wonder that in a world so uncertain, fear is the only constant. But there is a truth that offers profound courage to every believer who finds it: Even when things look out of control, they’re actually under control. God’s control. The life of the prophet Daniel holds a powerful profile in courage. Taken from his beloved country, stripped of his name, and thrown into a godless culture, Daniel faced a future that held little hope. Yet in every crisis, in every challenge, Daniel was able to live by what’s true, not by what’s seen. Popular author Steve Farrar examines the life and times of Daniel, a man who defied a king and altered the course of a nation. Drawing from the timeless story, Farrar shows how we can find the courage to rise above any circumstance or situation, all while trusting in a God who never abandons His children.
Be strong and of good courage in these troubled times. There is a kind of man God uses. He stands tall in the face of giants. He strives to honor God through his life.

There is a process by which God builds a bold man, and it is seen in the life of Joseph. In this process, God will work providentially, in every detail of the man's life. He will work strangely, therefore much of what God is doing won't make sense. And he will work slowly, frustrating the man who is in a hurry to succeed immediately.
