Overview

LEAD

AND YOUR FAMILY WILL FOLLOW.

"Most men would die for their families, but will they live for them?"

Steve Farrar challenges men to take their God-given positions on the front lines of the battle, to fight for their family's health and survival.

Point Man is a trustworthy roadmap through parenthood, the seasons of marriage, personal temptation, and foraging a life of faith in the midst of a corrupt culture.

"It's a Herculean task to lead a family," says Farrar, "but if you respond to the call of Christ to become the point man, He will buttress you, bolster you, and empower you in His limitless, unfailing strength."

“ Biblical headship for a husband is giving the best of all that he is to those under his care and authority.” (Page 159)

“Gentlemen, this is no imaginary situation. It is reality. If you are a husband/father, then you are in a war. War has been declared upon the family, on your family and mine. Leading a family through the chaos of American culture is like leading a small patrol through enemy-occupied territory. And the casualties in this war are as real as the names etched on the Vietnam Memorial.” (Page 22)

“Aldrich said, ‘Have you ever noticed how many men in the Bible failed in the second half of life? Our enemy is so cunning that he will wait forty or even fifty years to set a trap.’ That’s precisely what happened to King David.” (Page 66)

“Accountability is a willingness to explain your actions.” (Page 160)

“The lure of adultery is that another woman will truly meet your needs. The lie of adultery is that no other woman on the face of the earth, no matter how alluring, interesting, or beautiful, has the capacity to fully meet the needs of another human being. That’s why adultery is the ultimate hoax. It promises what it cannot deliver.” (Page 69)
