Numerous demands pull leaders in different directions, making it easy to take for granted God's involvement in every part of their lives. Writing from decades of counseling and personal ministry experience, Ajith Fernando wants to help those in ministry develop healthy rhythms to lead their families well. Applying biblical principles to common issues all leaders face, this book offers guidance for fostering love, deepening unity, and pursuing joy in their families--presenting leaders with a God-centered approach to family life that has the power to transform their homes."--Back cover ER -
