The Most Important Place on Earth: What a Christian Home Looks Like and How to Build One
Many people did not grow up in a Christian home, and many more do not consider their childhood experience a good model. I wrote this practical book for people who want to have a Christian home. So, what’s so great about a Christian home? There’s redemption. There’s forgiveness. There’s hope. Laughter and genuine happiness. There’s discipline and purpose there. And there’s grace . . . lots of grace. In The Most Important Place on Earth, I cover eight answers to the question “What does a Christian home look like?” It’s filled with stories and practical ideas that will convince any reader that a Christian home is not an illusive stereotype. It’s something that really can be achieved. And it’s something worth having. You’ll see.
Fathers of the Bible
No one can take a father’s place in the life of his children. I have adapted these devotions from Men of the Bible to create Fathers of the Bible, a unique devotional experience for dads.
When we take a Bible in our hands, we are actually holding a user’s manual for fathers. Story after story, it reveals our heavenly Father’s love for his Son, and for us. It also shares the accounts of earthly fathers whose examples we’ll want to either imitate or avoid.
The twelve chapters in Fathers of the Bible offer slices from the biblical stories of men who were fathers. From them, we can learn something about the tasks, privileges, challenges, and failures of fatherhood. We’ll discover the faithfulness of Noah, the conniving of Jacob, the unbridled passion of David, and the quiet confidence of Joseph, Jesus’ earthly father.
Each of these men was a dad. Their geographic settings and life circumstances were vastly different from ours, but the struggles and challenges of fatherhood are remarkably similar.
Fathers of the Bible has been designed for personal prayer and study or for use in small groups. I hope it will help you ground your relationship with your children on God’s Word.
