Point Man: A Guide to Effective Leadership for Men in the Family

Bsewell: This is a well written, must read book for the outline of living as a husband and father who wants to lead his family in a God honoring way. I read this book 20 years ago and just finished rereading it again in preparation for leading a group of newly married men. His thoughts are timeless, Biblically based and really drive the points home for men to live by in leading their families. I would HIGHLY recommend this book, along with all of Steve’s books to any man who wants to lead and love his family in a way the honors God. Thank you Steve for your work in helping men to grow in their responsibilities and faith.

Scott Bruce: This gem should be on every disciple's Top 25 reading list! It was gifted to me years ago by a brother-in-law mentor when I had a serious girlfriend, and it rocked my world. I repurchase it often to gift to similar young men I am mentoring. This is the truth no one teaches men about real life relationships and how God views a man's role leading a family. So whether you're about to be engaged to be married, or very single and feeling called to step up your man game; this book will challenge you, teach you, and bless you.

I find it invaluable for my Christian walk.

Joshua Lytle: For 4 years I was a pretty bad husband. I would put my friends, my drinking, my job, just about everything before my wife. I have always known right from wrong, but as far as what it is to be a husband, I was completely clueless. Based up on the role model I had growing up, a husband provides the money by working constantly, and is emotionally and phyiscally distant. Boy was I wrong. Sadly my marriage is very much on the rocks right now. My wife had finally had enough, I had pushed her to the very brink, quite possibly over. She moved out about a month ago. Shortly before she did though, I had the strangest epiphany, God opened my eyes and showed me just how much I truly loved this amazing woman, and also showed me just how much I had hurt her and what I had put her through. It was at that exact moment that I realized what I had to do. Completely turn my life around. I just didn't know where to start. Then I remembered several months back our counselor recommended that I read Point Man. So I got it, downloaded it on my phone, and two days later had finished reading it. My entire outlook on life, marriage, and what it is to be a husband (and God willing a father one day) was...

Austin Lindquist: As a 20yr old guy, soon to be 21, leading a single life with no relationships so far, & being the oldest of 5 children (with a 10yr gap between the youngest), I found this book to be good because I was always looking for something better outside of my life at my parents house, & just a better life in general. That's when I met one of my now closest friends who has helped me change just through his awesome example (he himself being a father of 3, the oldest of which is the same age as my youngest brother) & the guys/team & system that we both work with now. He is the one that originally suggested this book to me after I had asked him what I should do, considering I'm the oldest, my own dad's been gone a lot of my life for work, and I wanted to see a change in my life where I am currently living: with my family at my parents house. Even though I am not a father, but rather an oldest brother, I still read it and how to apply what I can to my life of just being a Godly example, to anyone, starting out with my house. It'll be hard, given the circumstances, & it is a little scary, but I'm willing, I'm willing to make a difference where I am, and that's all God really...

Gary Bisaga: Better yet, turn on one-click. You will want to get this book as soon as possible. I have (as my son likes to joke) 972 books on being a dad. Many are good, some are excellent, but I wish I had bought this one first. It's that good. It will motivate you to be the dad all the other 972 books tell you how to be.

How? Quite simply, Farrar writes like he knows exactly where you are. You may anywhere from what he describes as being spiritually anorexic or bulimic, or you may be a "point man" - it doesn't matter. He will help you along to the next level. He is realistic enough to recognize that after 25 years of bad habits, you most likely won't be reformed overnight. However, he offers good encouragement to keep at it, do what you know God created you to do.

Chapter like "Real Men Don't" and "A One-Woman Kind of Man" will leave many men uncomfortable. Guys, I think too many of us are a "husband of one wife" physically but are cheating mentally or even emotionally, or at least are just not dedicated enough to living our lives God's way. Farrar will encourage you to not just be a husband of one wife, but to be the kind of guy God wants you to be as a matter of total...
