“Reading Dr. Witmer’s new book is both greatly encouraging and deeply convicting. Encouraging, because it’s saturated with the truth and hope of the gospel. Convicting, because there’s no greater measure of a man’s success than the way he loves his family. The Shepherd Leader at Home is devoid of cliché and filled with practical instruction on how to reveal the servant love of Jesus to our wives and children.”
Scotty Smith, Founding Pastor, Christ Community Church, Franklin, Tennessee; author, The Reign of Grace, Restoring Broken Things, and Everyday Prayers: 365 Days to a Gospel-Centered Faith
“With marriage and the family under present-day pressures, it takes a wise man to think and write well about being a husband and father under God. This book reveals Dr. Witmer as just such a wise man, and makes his wisdom available to us all. Highly recommended.”
J. I. Packer, Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology,
Regent College; author, Knowing God
“Another book on marriage and family life? Yes, but this one is different. It is short, but not easy; practical, but also deeply realistic; honest, but also warm. And thankfully, for all that Dr. Witmer is—seminary professor, preaching pastor, author, father, and husband—here is one thing he never pretends to be, namely Guru! Perhaps that’s why this is such a wonderfully encouraging book.”
Sinclair Ferguson, Senior Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, South Carolina

Scott Thomas, Pastor of Pastoral Development,
The Journey Church, St. Louis, Missouri;
coauthor, Gospel Coach: Shepherding Leaders to Glorify God
“We can be thankful for many books written to help Christians raise godly families. Here Dr. Witmer takes aim at the pivotal role of the ‘shepherd leader’ at home. And his aim is true! This book is carefully biblical, practical, realistic, and true to what Tim has experienced. A necessary complement to Tim’s earlier book on shepherd leadership in the church, this one about the home might well be read first.”
Stephen E. Smallman, Assistant Pastor, New Life Presbyterian Church, Glenside, Pennsylvania; Instructor, CityNet Ministries of Philadelphia; author, Spiritual Birthline,
Forty Days on the Mountain, and The Walk
“We are faced with a serious global crisis in the collapse of the biblical family—a crisis that will eventually lead to the collapse ...
