Legacy: Every man leaves one. Lawson shows fathers how to be sure they're leaving the right one. He takes today's dads on a step-by-step journey through the ten essential biblical values that men are called to instill in their families. From the legacies of godliness and obedience to strength and discipline, men will learn how to ensure their spiritual legacy pays rich dividends into eternity. Drawing upon personal stories and other examples, Lawson puts the irresistible challenge to Christian men to begin today to revolutionize their families for generations to come.
This is the most practical and realistic book on fathering that I have read; Dr. Lawson is qualified to write such a book having raised four children. Like Dr. Lawson's preaching, the book comes straight from Scripture. His main text is Ephesians 6:4: "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." "...if you died today, what would your children remember you for? What would be your legacy to them? ... A financial legacy doesn't last. Neither can it bring happiness - not true happiness. Jesus said life does not consist in the possessions we own, nor in the things we have. Instead, I want to point you toward a different kind of legacy. One that money cannot buy and taxes cannot take away. One which is intangible, invisible, and eternal. One far more valuable than silver or gold. I'm talking about a spiritual legacy, one that will truly enrich our children's lives, mold their character, and impact their eternal destiny. A godly legacy is the only legacy really worth leaving." If you are a father, I would not only recommend this book but say that you must read it.
Every Dad needs to read this book.
