"Always a provocative writer," notes Rushdoony, "Gamble's study is to the point and should be read for instruction and growth in Biblical fatherhood" (Chalcedon Report, May, 1995, p. 33).

Fathers and husbands, this book will change you and your family forever -- for the better! If you read only one book this year, please make it this one; your family will be eternally grateful. It is full of biblical encouragement and warnings calculated to make you into the faithful warrior-priest that God commands you to be.

Poignant and perceptive, Dr. Gamble writes as the Puritans of days gone by, except in easily understandable English. He likens your position, as father and head of your household, to that of the minister in the church: who loves, nourishes, and protects those under his care (in 24 succinct chapters).

Mothers and wives, if "Dr. Dad" doesn't get this book himself, I think it would be safe to say that you have a vested interest in picking up a copy for him. It makes an excellent gift, though you may be accused of "godly selfishness."
