Atlanta, Georgia Feb 28, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - Chock full of golden nuggets of applicable wisdom, and launching on March 4th 2019, the anniversary of the Furthering Fathering Corporation, Lamont Jones and Jeremy A. Maynard are releasing the 11 chapter Mandate with its associated workbook based on 16 Biblical scriptures, designed to inform, encourage and empower leaders, fathers, book clubs, parenting groups, mentors, men’s ministries, single mothers, Bible studies, fathers-to-be and pastors.
The statistics bear it out. The value and need for God-honoring, multi-generational-minded fatherhood cannot be overstated. So many frustrated people in society say in a resigned and matter-of-fact way that there is no book on parenting. Not true – parents are the book on parenting and the first learning style of children is observation. The Mandate: God’s Calling Towards a Father’s Ultimate Purpose will help to heighten the observation and focus of godly fatherhood. Each chapter, nugget and exercise is designed to encourage and admonish dads and leaders to honour God, their children and their future generations by parenting as God mandates.
Why? Fatherhood is central to the viability of our society. Period. Fatherhood directly affects the growth and stability of our economy. Period. All of the major societal issues and ills that we shake our heads at, see, face and want to do something about are directly tied to some form of fatherlessness - whether that be complete abandonment or even more prevalent, being present and either being emotionally disengaged abusive or lacking integrity. This is the direct tangible effect of fatherlessness:
- 43% of U.S. children live without their father;
- 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average;
- 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average;
- 71% of pregnant teenagers lack a father
- 85% of youths in prisons grew up in a fatherless home
Given these humbling statistics, we turned to the ultimate Father to get His directions, expectations and the ultimate purpose for fatherhood. The Mandate is an inspiring, game-changing, life-altering and ‘life-altering’ book that will help all readers to engage in fatherhood and leadership with a greater understanding, purpose and zeal. Read it, take note of the nuggets of wisdom, journal in the workbook either alone or in groups
