NewNeed for intact families

Tue, 11/22/11
I am taking four young dads through Steve Farrar’s book “King Me,” which deals with the foundational essentials of being a godly father. There are some statistics he quotes in the book showing the devastating impact of the absence of a father in the home.
Just recently read Randy Alcorn’s novel “Courageous,” and it shares the same impact from lack of an involved father.
We as men cannot ignore our responsibilities.
