Sons of Men – Biblical Fatherhood

Excerpts from Sons of Men

“But if you are the father of at least one son younger than twelve years old, a believing Christian man who accepts the Bible as authoritative, and you are willing to listen and act, I have written this book specifically for you.”

“We fathers must never lose the righteous anger against the evil being visited upon our boys. But anger is not enough. We are Christian fathers, and it is high time we turn our righteous anger into righteous action.”

“Your son will not respect you if you act like an insecure child… he needs a dad who will act like a man.”

“The importance of trust, obedience, and discipline as practiced in your home cannot be overstated. Your son’s first encounters with loving authority will significantly influence how he comes to understand God’s way of loving him.”

“Self-control is often viewed only as a restraining force, limiting what a man might do in the face of temptation. In reality, self-control is also a powerful positive motivator to sustain a man’s resolve when hardship and the passage of time challenge his course.”

“God reveals information to us as we are ready to receive it; otherwise, we can get distracted thinking about the years to come and lose sight of what we should be doing in the next few hours or days.”

“Sons under the age of twelve are capable of a lot more responsibility than most parents know. If boys today seem irresponsible, it is because their parents have allowed them to be so.”

The Mission

As our sons go, so goes our nation.

Sons of Men Ministries is dedicated to encouraging and equipping fathers to regain their voices and impact as family leaders and to set the example of accountable, responsible Christian masculinity for their sons.

We believe in the power of Jesus Christ to transform any man, regardless of his past, into a worthy husband, father, and family leader.

Testimonials

Brett's book brings the heart of biblical manhood in a manner that compels men into action. This book stands out as a light in the darkness in a world that has degraded the biblical mandate for men to lead themselves and their families well. I know Brett personally, and he didn't just write the book but lives its principles. The greatest testimony of the book’s value on biblical manhood is that his boys are respectful, young leaders wherever they go. This is a true testament to the tried-and-true biblical values contained in this book.

Sons of Men is an incredibly encouraging and imperative appeal for men to raise boys who will reflect the persons God created them to be and to become models of faith-filled leadership worthy of following. It is a must-read for fathers in all stages of their walk with God to not only be alert to the perils that plague men and, in effect, their sons but also an instructional and scripturally challenging rally cry to reclaim what has been lost.

Finally, a book that teaches men how to raise their sons to become godly men. With all the modern-day distractions of life, it can be challenging to raise our kids in a Christ-centered manner. In his book, Brett Earnest entertains and keeps us engaged as he takes us on a trip of some of his life experiences. The experiences he shares help anchor the teaching in practical guidance for fathers. The book challenges us to become better family leaders and raise our kids for the Lord. I highly recommend that men with kids (boys and girls) and soon-to-be fathers read this book! It’s a great opportunity to learn and experience the blessing of raising our families for our Lord.

Brett's book, Son's of Men, is the biblical standard to raising Christian men in a society and culture that has been plagued by absent or entitled fathers. I had the honor of meeting Brett, his wife Maggie and his two sons, Oliver and Filip; his family is a walking testimony to what raising young men should look like. Brett is a masterful storyteller, with endless, real life examples that all fathers can relate with. He doesn't mince words, but if your willing to improve your family dynamics and raise respectful men, this book is for you!
