As a Christian man, how do you prioritize between what you are driven to do at work and church with what you are responsible for at home? Rich Wagner debunks the myth of a “balanced life” and shares a biblical model of becoming a hands-on leader of his family.
Details
Your career is compelling. Your ministry at church is God’s calling. But do you realize how these outside activities capture your heart and steal your time and energy from your family? Adventure becomes what you want to do, while family is what you are supposed to do. Now Rich offers a bold alternative.
In this personal and revealing book, Rich challenges Christian men to harness their career ambitions and limit their ministries while their children are at home. Rich shows how the pull of business success and the call to church ministries are compelling–even seductive. But if you allow your heart to be captured by career and church, you put your kid’s spiritual lives at risk.
Far too many Christian children grow up with the vision of a loving Father in heaven, but live with the reality of an earthly father who seems more devoted to outside interests than he is to them. As a result, many children in Christian families today drift away from their faith as they become adults. Rich reveals how accepting his challenge will not only result in spiritually healthy kids, but also give you the true adventure for which every Christian man yearns.
Reviews
A fantastic challenge to give up the god of safety, sameness, and predictability to become the man God has created you to be. Enjoy the journey!
Every dad needs to embrace Rich's message of discovering the adventure of being a Godly father.
A must-read book for all Christian men.
This book will challenge and motivate every man as they look at “structure” of their life. Rich’s book has challenged me to examine my life and what I place as my priorities.
