The Good News? You'd die for your wife and kids.
The Bad News? That's the easy part.

Being a godly husband and father isn't about one big heroic moment -- it's about showing up every day. You need a simple, biblical plan to help you stay faithful in the daily grind of leading your family.

This short, practical guide unpacks how Jesus' ministry should shape our leadership at home. With Christ-centered encouragement and no-nonsense wisdom, Joel Beeke challenges us to step up to God's calling -- while reminding us to rest in the finished work of Christ alone.

Straightforward and full of real-world lessons, How to Lead Your Family: A Guide for Men Wanting to be More sets high standards. But it also gives us the biblical foundation, encouragement, and practical advice we need to pursue those standards. Read it, and prayerfully lift your entire family through steady, loving leadership.

Endorsement

"This book is a masterpiece. Joel Beeke not only provides sound biblical teaching about being a father, he also gives us a simple and practical framework for reminding us of our calling: prophet, priest, and king. Each of these perspectives on fatherhood is opened up and applied with clarity. If you want to understand fatherhood and its primary responsibilities from a biblical perspective, read this booklet, then share it with someone else."
-- Tedd Tripp, senior pastor of Grace Fellowship Church, Hazleton, Pennsylvania, and author of Shepherding a Child's Heart
