Call to Arms: The Guts & Glory of Courageous Fatherhood

by Chuck Black

This is a military handbook for you, Dad…a how-to manual for rising up and leading your family. If you don't fight for your family, no one else will. When a soldier is in enemy territory, he is alert, focused, and purposeful about every move he makes with weapons ready. Only you stand between the enemy and your family, for God has given you the authority and the responsibility to stop this treacherous adversary from destroying your marriage and your children. You will sustain serious casualties unless you understand this and are diligent about guarding, training, and equipping your troops. This takes courage, but your calling is noble…it is God's call to arms.

Short and to the point. This book is a call for men to lead their families well, written from the perspective of a former fighter pilot turned author. Organized well with lots of wisdom and actionable steps to follow up on. Great book!

Chuck Black does an amazing job at using his experience both as a father and in the Air Force to illustrate successful fatherhood and leadership. He is able to keep the book engaging through his many real-world examples and offers guidance to fathers, prospective fathers, and leaders alike.
