Review: A very comprehensive and exhaustive guide to leading your family through todays jungle. A must read for man that wants to be a husband or a father.

Summary: God-inspired wisdom
Review: After hearing about Steve's book at a Promise Keepers convention, I decided to check it out. I was so knocked out by it's God-inspired wisdom. Now there's a men's group at our church using this book as the text. We're in a war, men. It's up to us to prepare for the battle.

Summary: A must have for ALL fathers...especially new ones!
Review: As the father of a 9 month old boy, I was going into "Mental Anguish" mode before I read Steve's book. How do I explain sex and when was one of the bigger questions I had. This and MUCH more is answered in simple plain steps. READ THIS BOOK!

Summary: A very upfront look at a man's God given responsibility
Review: Farrar lays it on the line for men. A no nonsense look at the hard facts that face fathers, and guidelines to use to weather the storm of life. A must read for all men, even the ones who think everything is already in order.

Summary: An excellent book for younger fathers
Review: I have read a number of fathering, parenting and family books over the years and this is one of the best. There was nothing startlingly new here for me, but it summarised just about everything I have gleaned from other sources.One quibble: p154 (of the version I have) elevates the full-time ministry. As an example of a godly man Farrar shows how many of a particular man's descendants became pastors. And that is the problem for many men: we have few role models who are in 'normal' secular jobs and we therefore think that we can't be spiritual giants.

Summary: OK advice wrapped in offensive glossy & stupid theory
Review: Some helpful practical tips on things like prayer, but you have to get past some awful drivel to get there. In the attempt to convince the fathers he's aiming at that they should invest more time and love on their kids (not a bad thing itself), he makes ridiculous and offensive dismissals, such as: mothers as irrelevant to parenting; any family structure other than nuclear as having only existed in the last generation - dismissing entire continents and ages; and any generation apart from the present one as unimportant. Like I say, you get past this and the macho allusions they're dressed in, and there's some OK advice. However there is also the pernicious subtext that, 'Don't worry if your son is greedy, materialistic and unGodly, just so long as he's straight, gets and stays married, holds down a decent job, and doesn't touch drugs, phew, you've won the war.'

Summary: This book's impact on my life is second only to the Bible.
Review: Steve Farrar has touched the essence of what it takes to be a Husband and Father in his book Point Man. He steps up to men with an "in your face" look at the realities of life as a man in today's society and provides sound advice on how to stay focused as the head of the family. He doesn't shy away from telling men that they will have to make hard choices and his words dare any man to make the wrong choice by providing "real-life" examples of the impact wrong decisions by Fathers and Husbands have had on families. Point Man should be required reading for every male prior to marriage. And, as the father of three little girls, it will be required reading for all potential sons-in law.

Summary: Very realistic and practical
Review: The authoritativeness of Steve Farrar's book is borne out in the successes and failures that I experienced as the father of three (now on their own) and a husband of 33 years. He addresses issues with advice I would have welcomed on many occasions in the past. I'd say it's a must read.
