Point Man, Steve Farrar
Gentlemen, we must get aggressive toward temptation. We must snort, grunt, and snarl if necessary, but we absolutely cannot be passive. We must adopt an attack mentality. (pg98)
Point Man is unapologetically for men, and Steve Farrar challenges men to “take point” – the military illustration of taking the lead and responsibility for your squad. He describes men as the “sleeping giants of the church” who have been overlooked and under equipped – as true today as it was in 1990 when written. Farrar speaks plainly on the issues men face like accountability, temptation, and the role of fathers. It’s a clarion call for men to step up to their responsibility to be the spiritual leader of their home, and finishing well requires more than mere physical presence.
John, glad to have found your blog here. Looks like I’ll have more quality reading material.
I LOVED Point Man by Farrar. Great insights and plenty of practical illustrations.
