2. Anchor Man by Steve Farrar

If you thought your parenting responsibilities ended after eighteen years per child, you thought wrong. Instead, it’s your privilege to lead your family-and influence succeeding generations-for a century…or more.

Anchor Man presents the high calling of fatherhood, the traits of a Christian father, the adventures that await him as he interacts with his children, and the significance of his role as a good family man. Steve Farrar presents these roles and responsibilities in a way any man wanting to increase his understanding of his place in the family, and our society, can put into action every day.

Anchor Man encourages, exhorts, and demonstrates with biblical concepts how to raise a godly family and how to anchor that family in Christ for the next one hundred years. Farrar’s unique teaching style blends humor and practicality with the tools fathers need to become all that God intended them to be as the leaders of their families.

“When a man gets serious about following Christ with his whole heart,” Farrar says, “God desires to not only pour out His blessing on that man, but on his children, and his children’s children.
