Finding Significance as a Father D J Young

How can a Dad evaluate the effect he has had on his children? In the long run, how significant have you been as a Dad? Perhaps you've been so busy trying to provide for your family, or keeping your kids in line, or driving them to soccer games, that you haven't really paused to ponder how your legacy will affect the next generations of your family. Some of the best and worst examples of fatherhood can be found in the pages of the Bible. The actions and decisions of the Old Testament patriarchs like Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, King David and others give us much to consider. For example: Noah. Why did God choose him to build an ark of salvation? What became of Noah's sons and their wives and families? And Job was amazingly steadfast, which brought him through incredible trials and tragedies. How can a modern Dad compare? In Finding Significance D. J. Young challenges loving, thoughtful Dads to take a moment and look inside to examine how their own character is influencing and molding the next generation.
