Rise Up! For Dads Who Want to Lead Boldly by Robert W. Otto

Few men saw a good example of spiritual leadership in their own fathers. It is very difficult to provide that leadership well without having had it modeled for them. Perhaps you can relate. Rise Up! provides that example. Dr. Otto draws on his experiences in the United States Army and as the father of three to inspire and teach men about providing spiritual vision and direction for their families. Rise Up! shows men the importance of providing this leadership. Dr. Otto's refreshing, down-to-earth approach will walk you through the key points of this task. He will show you how to understand where each member of your family is spiritually and what you can do to help with the next step. You will laugh as you learn about parts of the journey that are overwhelming, like talking with your 6-year-old daughter about purity or to her brothers about their responsibility to guard and protect her. You will feel the weight of responsibility of introducing your children to your God. Central to it all, you will learn the importance of opening God's Word and reading it as a family. Stu Weber (author of Tender Warrior) writes in the forward that "this book, by a well-trained U.S. Army Ranger can help train you for this most demanding and most rewarding mission of your life. It's a job far too many Christian men neglect, to the peril of their family... for generations to come!" You don't have to be a pastor to be the spiritual leader in your home. As husband and father, you have that responsibility. Take the challenge. Rise Up! and learn to lead your family well.
