From Jesse:
"As Christian husbands, we desire our wives to emulate the sterling example of the woman typified in Proverbs 31. While a lofty goal, our primary focus needs instead to be directed on what we need to become to fulfill our Biblical Role. In this book, Phil Lancaster takes a look at the Biblical mandate for husbands and explores how we, in an age of feminism and relativism, can turn our hearts towards home and restore our proper husbandly roles as leaders, providers, protectors, and priests of our families."
Biblical Fatherhood as the Key to a Thriving Family
What this country needs is a few good men — husbands and fathers who are willing to love and lead their households with manly resolve and godly vision. Frankly, the Church needs these men every bit as much as the rest of the country. We are experiencing a national crisis of manhood of epidemic proportions. Absent a revival of fatherhood, we can expect to see an ever-increasing rise in the number of effeminate boys and masculine women, as well as the breakdown of the Christian family as it is defined in Holy Scripture. What we desperately need today are men who will be family men and family leaders. But how?
For more than ten years, Philip Lancaster has been instilling hope, and calling fathers to their rightful duties as family prophets, priests, protectors, and providers. He has emerged as one of the most articulate and theologically-sound defenders of the biblical family. Through his magazine Patriarch, Phil has reached thousands with both the vision and the tools necessary for family revival. Now, in his first book, Phil lays — in simple, easy-to-understand concepts — the biblical foundation necessary for men to turn their hearts to home and change the world. Family Man, Family Leader first presents the vision of biblical household leadership. Next, it addresses the many practical issues necessary for achieving victory as a man, from learning and acting upon God’s priorities, to decision-making as a father, to growing in oneness with your wife, to personal accountability before the Lord and victory over secret sins. Whether you are a veteran visionary father, or a dad just beginning the journey of patriarchy, we hope you find Family Man, Family Leader to be a source of inspiration and practical help.

"With the family in much disaray generally in our culture, the tendency has been to emphasize the individual and overlook the family. We have simply forgotten the enormous potential that homelife has for transforming our culture. One of my purposes in writing this book is to help lay the foundation for a large social transformation by encouraging changes within the home. It is my firm conviction that if our nation is to be saved from going the way of decadant Rome and every other empire in history, its deliverance will be found in the restoration of patriarchial families that are part of Biblical churches and the propogation of these Christian households by the thousands and millions across the the land."
