Chapter 1

The Good Life

According to the Psalmist, the good life for a man is to be blessed by God. That blessing includes fearing God, walking in his ways, working an honest job to provide for his family, enjoying his believing wife, eating dinner around his table surrounded with children, and living long enough to buy ice cream for his grandkids.

The means to this end is simply the grace of God. The first thing we must note is that before a man can be a good father, he has to be a good Christian. To be a good Christian he must realize that God is his Father, as Jesus taught us to pray.
