Farrar uses the story of Daniel to illustrate that true courage can be ours daily, and it comes from the one true Sovereign God.

In Gettin'' There, bestselling author Steve Farrar delves into the book of Psalms to give men a new sense of continuity, direction, purpose, and perspective. The Psalms are like a marked trail through life, showing that others have walked ahead and faced many of the challenges, temptations, heartaches, and perplexities that men will encounter on their journeys. Farrar shows that when a man begins to understand that the strong and caring hand of God is sovereign over everything in his life -- including his trials and heartaches -- his confidence, hope, and joy will increase dramatically in the God who created him and desires to use him.

A leader must stand tall enough for his followers to find him. "As the God-appointed captain of his family," says Steve Farrar, "a man faces the challenge of spying out the social territory, marking danger zones, and taking stands to protect those in his charge." It''s an active leadership role -- and Farrar''s been training men to succeed in it for over ten years. In this paperback rerelease of his popular Standing Tall, the men''s ministries leader "walks tall" through America -- observing politics, abortion, the gay movement, media trends, and the loss of our "moral boundaries." Farrar offers men sure biblical foundations on which to stand for faith-based living -- closing with "Seven Ways to Help Your Kids Stand Tall." A study guide/appendix makes it great for group use, too!

Men facing difficult challenges in life will relate to chapters on Depression, Betrayal, When Your Family Is Falling Apart, Living With a Bad Decision, Living With Your Critics, and When Your Career Is Interrupted. Farrar encouragingly illustrates how David depended on God to overcome the same sins and trials -- still remaining "a man after God''s own heart."

Through his own study of the prophets, Farrar is convinced that America is on the brink of judgment. He says, 'The problem with America is not the unbelieving world. The problem with America is the people of God. Our gospel is cancelled by the way we live.' With Get In The Ark, Farrar gives Christians the tools they need to victoriously face the coming judgment.
