Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The bestselling guide for Christian men who want to lead their families well is now revised and updated to help fathers and husbands navigate the complexities of today's challenges.

Most men want to be strong spiritual leaders of their families. They just don't know how because they've never seen it modelled.

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
  • 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.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Ken Harrison regards it as "one of the most valuable books you will ever read," highlighting Farrar's wisdom and impact. The book’s enduring relevance and fresh insights into spiritual battles make it a classic in its field.
