A Brief Book Notice from Books At a Glance
by Fred G. Zaspel
This category of biblical instruction is always in need, and in our present cultural climate we may wonder if it has ever been more needful than today. Both the church and the world need Christian dads.
Beeke writes to provide a clear, succinct guide for understanding the role of fathers in their homes. And, recognizing that many men don’t take time to read, he packs it into a brief sixty-nine pages of text (plus an additional page with study questions for further reflection and discussion).
Much needed and highly recommended. A helpful resource to distribute freely in your church.
Endorsements
- Tedd Trip:
This book is a masterpiece. Joel Beeke not only provides sound biblical teaching about being a father, he also gives us a simple and practical framework for reminding us of our calling: prophet, priest, and king. Each of these perspectives on fatherhood is opened up and applied with clarity. If you want to understand fatherhood and its primary responsibilities from a biblical perspective, read this booklet, then share it with someone else. - Paul Washer:
This brief work is a wonderful compendium on a man’s duties to his wife and family. It is thoroughly biblical and born out of a deep and ancient Christian tradition that has shaped the author and made him a blessing to the church. Read it in one sitting, then read it over and over until you are shaped by it. Read it with your wife and petition her prayers on your behalf. Make it your companion and a constant reminder of your most sacred duties before God. Assimilate the biblical truths found in this book, and you will become an extraordinary blessing of Christ to your family.”
