A Father’s Stew: The Biblical Integration of Family, Work and Ministry arose from a desire to teach Christian men how to faithfully and biblically fulfill God’s calling in the three areas that affect every waking moment of our lives: family, work and ministry. While there have been many books written on each of these three subjects, there are precious few that teach and encourage men to skillfully blend these areas in a God-honoring way.
Written in an easy-to-read style and using scripture at every turn, Stephen Beck powerfully refutes the "wisdom" of our day and answers the questions so many fathers and husbands have. Drawing upon his experiences of raising three children, owning a construction company for the past 17 years, starting a family-run homeschool curriculum store and discipling young men in the Church, he brings a unique layman’s perspective to the challenges of integrating the three areas that so greatly impact our lives.
In an age where fathers are separated from their families for most of the day, how can we fulfill the biblical mandate to train our children when "you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up" (Deuteronomy 6)? Given our current culture, is it possible to integrate family, work and ministry in a biblical manner? What is God’s provision for raising godly children and what are our responsibilities? Read on to discover God's vision for fathers as we are challenged from the Scripture to balance the areas of family, work and ministry and to blend these three ingredients to form a godly stew, a sweet smelling aroma to God.
