Today’s father has limited hours to look after numerous concerns—including his family, work, and ministry. To manage an increasingly busy schedule, you’ve got to answer several big questions, such as the following:

How can we fathers most effectively invest our time? And where can we invest it for eternal value? How can we properly lead our families and serve God amidst sports, music, drama, church, school, support groups, homeschool co-ops, extended family responsibilities, and ministry programs? Do you know when to say yes—and when to say no? Must we choose between competing priorities to be effective stewards?
