Point Man

An updated 1990 book shows how Christian fathers can lead by being fair and firm with their children, and faithful and loving toward their wives. This back-to-basics lesson references its biblical foundations but uses accessible secular language to remind fathers of the power they have to do good in their families. There's no judgment--only encouragement to take more initiative and responsibility. Raymond Todd's reading is a big reason the audio will appeal to men at all levels of spirituality. He's a humble narrator who is both confident in the author's teachings and respectful of his audience. Along with the can-do tone of the writing, Todd's warmth and steadiness make this a memorable lesson. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
