Synopsis

"Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone." —"Lead Me" by Sanctus Real

Matt Hammitt had performed his hit song, "Lead Me," almost a thousand times. And every time he sang, the lyrics echoed the voices of his own family. His marriage was strained. His kids were growing up without him. Matt's good intentions could no longer sustain his family; he needed to be a man of action. Yet even as he told his Sanctus Real bandmates that he was leaving the band to invest in his family, he wondered: Was it really possible to be present at home and still provide financially too?

In Lead Me, Matt identifies the tension many men experience when trying to balance work and home life. With bracing honesty, vulnerable storytelling, and practical application, Matt challenges you to be faithful both to God's vocational call and to His call to lead your family well.

Discover the extraordinary joy of actively and intentionally pursuing your wife and children. Matt reminds us that it's messy. It's difficult. And it's the most rewarding thing you can do, beyond following Christ.

Goodreads review by Daniel

My wife and I met Matt Hammitt at his last Family Life conference last November. He autographed a copy of this book for us. I enjoyed the book as much as I’ve enjoyed his “Lead Me” song all these years. Its raw authenticity is powerful. I agree with Dr. Dennis Rainey that every man should read it.......more
