The bestselling guide for Christian men who want to lead their families well is now revised and updated to help fathers and husbands navigate the complexities of today’s challenges. “Jam-packed with biblical direction and leadership strategies, this battle guide will equip you to lead your family to victory.”—Dr. Tony Evans, president of the Urban Alternative and senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship Most men want to be strong spiritual leaders of their families.

With more than half a million copies sold, it’s the go-to resource for how to faithfully lead and love your family, walk boldly through challenging seasons of marriage and parenting, stand firm against personal temptation, and forge a faith that shines bright.

Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.

March 2017 Day 2DODGE THE PROCESS! MISS THE PRODUCT!BASIC SCRIPTURE:HABAKKUK 2: 1- 4Patience is profitable. It's a lost virtue in our culture today. There is so much craze for wealth because people are no more patient. Armed robbery, prostitution or corruption, etc, for example, are the consequences of impatience. The year 2017 is still young! Prayers are being prayed. Planning is going on. There is excitement in the spirit world because the word "EVIDENCE" is being announced worldwide over divine megaphones. But you must realize that there is always a time lag between the day you plant pineapple or apple seed and when you actually harvest the fruit from the full-grown tree. Every divine purpose delivers in stages and there is a time for every purpose on this earth including your own. Don't cage or hinder your destiny by seeking for shortcuts. If you dodge the process - patience, you will miss the product. Habakkuk 2:3 declares: "for the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end, it shall speak and not lie. Though it tarry (as the year progresses), wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." God is bigger than our biggest plans. He is working on your behalf. You need patience to obtain this year. Don't compare yourself with others or look around negatively. God's calendar for you is not the same with your next-door neighbour. Patience mixed with praise and worship will shield you from avoidable mistakes. Meditate also, on Micah 7:7! Your year will end in peace and glory and there shall be EVIDENCE that you serve a living God. The fullness of any vision speaks only at the end. Wait! You will never end up in shame! Amen!

We’re all waiting for something. It might be a spouse or a baby. It might be healing or a home. Regardless of what we're waiting for, it’s easy to feel discontent when things aren’t going as planned and our dreams are delayed—especially when questions of “Why?” and “How long?” remain unanswered. God uses seasons of waiting to teach us patience and make us more like himself. But sanctification is not the only purpose God has in mind. When we wait faithfully with unmet longings, we become a powerful picture of the bride of Christ waiting for the day when he returns and God’s kingdom reigns.

Sometimes the wilderness is the only place God can get your undivided attention. Everyone finds himself or herself in a wilderness at some point: financial wildernesses, emotional wildernesses, relational wildernesses, health wildernesses, reputation wildernesses, failure wildernesses, unemployment wildernesses—the list goes on and on. In those moments, we are utterly dependent on God for well-timed help. If he doesn’t come through, we’re finished. For forty years, two million Israelites were in the wilderness, and God fed them supernaturally every morning with manna, teaching people who doubted him he can be trusted with everything they needed to survive. This is a lesson we need to learn too. In personal stories and applications of biblical lessons, Manna reveals how God specializes in making a way where there is no way. He proved it every day to the nation of Israel, never missing a day of being faithful. He was never late, and he was never early. He was always just in time. And he will be for you.

These devotionals were written during the weariest, most difficult days of my life. As the song says, "Life is hard, but God is good." Some of these devotionals are synopses of sermons I have preached over the years. Others are simple thoughts I have entertained and enjoyed as I reviewed and meditated upon various Scripture Memory verses. There is at least one devotional based on a text from every book of the Bible. The reader will find almost as many entries written from Old Testament texts as from the New Testament. This book has been demanding, but it has also been a labor of love. A great missionary once said, "I'm just a beggar, telling other beggars where to find bread." That is exactly how I feel as I share this work with you. I am on the way to heaven and offering hope to others on the journey. May these devotionals bless your heart, feed your soul, and nourish your thoughts. Jesus has set a table for two. He invites you to dine with Him (Revelation 3:20). Pull away, weary pilgrim. Hunger no longer. His morning manna awaits you. "O taste and see the Lord is good" (Psalm 34:8). As they say at the Mexican restaurant, "Enjoy "
