The Christian Father

<p>It is no mere ideal father that is described in <em>The Christian Father</em>, aspiring after unattainable or fanciful saintliness. It is a father such as God intended all fathers to be, such as should and might be found at the head of every Christian family. It is a genuine Christian father faithfully discharging the obligations of his state and sanctifying himself in the ordinary every-day duties of life. </p><p><br></p><p>The Christian father will naturally instill Christian habits, impart a moral tone, and infuse a religious spirit into his family; and as the family is the foundation of society, we must make the father truly Christian would we reform society, Christianize the land, or make the people moral.</p><p><br></p><p>Found in the book:</p><ul><li>The Name of Father</li><li>The Father's Vocation</li><li>The Model Christian Father</li><li>The Picture Finished (Dangers to Avoid, the Christian Life)</li><li>The Work of a Christian Father ("Lay up to Yourself Treasures", Government/Discipline, Paternal Cares)</li><li>Two Model Fathers (Abraham and Tobias)</li><li>The Farmer of Munster</li><li>The Father at Prayer</li><li>Prayers for a Christian Father</li></ul><p><br></p>
