"How do you feel as a father? Inadequate at times? Overwhelmed most of the time? Yet, the fulfillment of being a father cannot be properly put into words, without experiencing its raw reality. No doubt, struggles in fatherhood are an opportunity to approach your heavenly Father in humble dependence in need of wisdom, faith, and encouragement. God the Father's character is the example for earthly fathers to aspire to become. I pray that this 30-day devotional helps you to grow in wisdom so that you can love your family as God the Father loves his children." - Boyd Bailey

Fatherlessness has reached epidemic levels. Forty percent of children in the U.S. will go to bed tonight in a home without a father. Studies show that people without fathers are at much higher risk for low educational performance, drug abuse, crime and poverty. Fatherlessness is rampant in our churches as well. When planting his church, Mark Strong realized that fifteen of twenty core leaders, whether they were in their twenties or sixties, white or black, had grown up without an active father figure in their lives. And he determined to make a difference in the lives of the next generation. The church is uniquely positioned to minister to the fatherless, both within its own community and in society at large. Strong shows how we can make our churches places of refuge for our nation's fatherless. Churches can reveal a true picture of God as loving Father through mentoring both children and dads, meeting the practical needs of children, and much more. By embedding key values into your congregational culture, your church can become a church for the fatherless. Be part of the solution. Are you ready to make a difference?

"Biblical sonship is a position in Christ, not a gender. Dr. Mark Hanby has understood this powerful truth and explained it better than any other man I know." --Don Nori, Publisher, Destiny Image, Inc. Every Elijah needs an Elisha. Every Paul needs a Timothy. Every father needs a son. Every Church needs a generation prepared to step into her God-intended destiny. The true hope of the Church is the preparation of the sons in the house. In The Order of a Son, Mark Hanby, author, father, mentor and apostle shows clearly, simply and powerfully how the anointing of the father is passed down to spiritual sons, helping them to become mature fathers. Without the true ministry of fathers to sons, there can never be a double-portion blessing to continue the Lord's work and the church will most certainly die in the next generations. True fathers will: Empower sons to receive their godly inheritance Teach their sons to forge lasting relationships Show the true biblical blueprint for better evangelism Help their sons to step into the call of God Teach sensitivity to the Holy Spirit The mark of a mature ministry is one that desires sons and not just followers. Dr. Mark Hanby provides a biblical base that will enable the Church to meet her future now--in her sons.
