MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Marriages are imploding all around us. Homes are fracturing. Families are shipwrecked. And one of the leading causes is sexual temptation that leads to moral failure. How does a guy guard his heart and home in a culture that is so sexually saturated and permissive?
It doesn't just happen. It takes intentional, biblical decisions to set guards and stand strong. And those decisions--or lack of them--will inevitably set directions for life which will lead to inevitable destinations. We are what we choose!
BENEATH THE SURFACE compares and contrasts two of scripture's best known men--Joseph and David. Both were faced head-on with sexual temptation. One stood tall--and one fell flat. And it all centered on the choices they made. This book pulls out both the choices, and the prniciples undergirding them, of both men. And they serve as beacon points to all of us on what to do...and what not to do...as the inevitability of temptatoin knocks on our door.
Journey through the lives of these two men and you will discover dangers to beware of that lurk around unsuspected corners of life's path. How to break bad habits before they become a "way of life" will be addressed head on. We'll walk together with how to make a U-turn in our life when needed, realizing that it is insane to keep going in a way that is causing problems while at the same time expecting different results. Different results only come from a change of direction. Simple, yet profound principles of setting guards on one's heart regarding thorughts, attitudes and actions will be handed to every man to use as tools for victory in his everyday battle.
And who of us don't want to leave a great legacy when our journey is finished? But to finish well in the future requires making the right and wise decision today. Kicking the can down the road, is a tragic decision. Your kids and grandkids will thannk you for your choices!
And for those who are married, or soon will be, there are helps all along the way within the book to strengthen this foundational relationship, making it better and more resilient daily. The eight questions that every husband ought to ask his wife yearly, combined with the eight a wife can ask her husband annually are guaranteed to take the relationship "beneath the surface" issues of life, and have proven to be a game changer for hundreds of marriages.

Wounds are serious, and often frightening challenges in our life, but perhaps even more dangerous are the infections which can result from them. This is true not only in the case of physical wounds, but perhaps even more disabling and destructive, when they result from emotional wounds. And tragically, those emotional wounds can often come from those closest to us. Society bears the heart breaking results today of what happens when those wounds come from the father--whether intentionally, or unintentionally. It has been estimated that the vast majority of people who have grown into teen or adult years carry an element of Father Wounds with them as they journey into life.When such emotional wounds occur, and are not properly responded to, cared for and healed the resulting emotional "infections" set in motion long-term consequences. And those consequences affect not only us, but the relationships and families we establish as we move through life. They don't just "take care of themselves," nor does "time simply heal all wounds." Action has to be taken to address the infections, heal the wounds, and hopefully restore the relationship..ENDING THE CYCLE OF FATHER WOUNDS addresses the causes which often contribute to Father Wounds as well as what are the practical steps to help the reader, or someone they care for, acknowledge, address and care for the infections resulting from such wounds. Repair and restoration of ruptured relationships is goal and this book has the needed steps to make it possible. Since Father Wounds often cycle through family generations, stopping the cycle depends on someone making the appropriate choices to bring it to a halt. FATHER WOUNDS clearly and forthrightly sets forth how to "draw a line in the sand," for the sake of both present and future generations.Better yet, the book offers insights for fathers, step-dads and grandfathers of how to beware and prevent Father Wounds before they ever happen, thus avoiding the pain and strain so many face in life's journey.
