Point Man – How a Man Can Lead a Family by Steve Farrar is a book that has had a profound impact on my life.  I read it years ago, but what I learned still influences my behavior as a husband and father today.  This book was revised and reprinted in 2003.

Steve Farrar compares a man leading a family today to leading a military patrol unit in enemy territory.  He observes that many men today would die for  their families but are not willing to live for them.

This book is straight forward without a lot of soft feel good information.  It is very direct which is what men like me so  often need.
