“As a young father I was running scared . . . I feared the culture would capture my kids . . . but I figured if I could find the ultimate model of fatherhood and then emulate that model, I had a fighting chance.”

Updated and redesigned for a new generation of dads, Josh McDowell’s ECPA Gold Medallion Award winner The Father Connection looks at ten parenting qualities inspired by the ultimate model of fatherhood. Embracing these godly characteristics will make all the difference in a child, boosting self-esteem and sense of purpose, helping him or her to:

• Feel loved and secure

• Develop a reputation of integrity

• Know their dad keeps his promises

• Stand up to unhealthy peer pressure

• Avoid drug and alcohol abuse

• Save sex until marriage

• Desire their father’s counsel

• Admit when they’re wrong

• Come to their dad in times of trouble or hurt

• Admire and respect their father as their parent

“Sacred Parenting” works off a simple premise: Raising children shapes the parent every bit as much as parents shape their children. Many books have been written about how to parent a child effectively, how to become a better parent, and how effective parenting produces better kids. “Sacred Parenting” explores an entirely different reality: how parenting affects the parent.

How do we build our sons to be tough but not arrogant? Mannered by not soft? Imaginative but not lazy? Bold but not hollow? Future Men is a Christian guide to raising strong, virtuous sons, contrary to the effeminacy and sentimentalism of contemporary culture. As we look to Scripture for patterns of masculinity for our sons, we find them manifested perfectly in the life of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In a society where the definition of manhood has become increasingly blurred, this book provides a clear understanding of mature masculinity. Lewis’ suggestions are practical and provide tools, methods, and ideas to help raise a godly man.

Fathers—notice your sons. Listen to them. Lead them. Encourage them. Walk with them and guide them. You are indispensable to them. You’re their hero, and you have an opportunity to reflect the heart of your true Father on their path to significance.

Noted sociologist Dr. David Popenoe says, “Involved fathers bring positive benefits to their children that no other person is as likely to bring.” Called to Greatness provides fathers and sons devotional readings around themes like loving unconditionally, walking in integrity, making a difference, living a life of significance, and being great in the eyes of God.

Called to Greatness devotional book invites and empowers fathers and sons to become great men who humbly and faithfully serve a great God.
