Many of the problems in the church can be traced to problems in the families--families that are like sheep without a shepherd. Having first published a successful book on church leadership, The Shepherd Leader (P&R, 2010), Witmer has written a sequel to impact families, The Shepherd Leader at Home. He applies a biblical framework to the husband and father's leadership in the home, introducing four categories of shepherding: knowing, feeding, leading, and protecting. Witmer also communicates with a down-to-earth, relatable tone that helps readers to engage and learn. Targeting men who want to shepherd their families well, Witmer offers biblical counsel and practical direction that is sure to resonate and make a difference in families today.

My guest on the program today will be Dr. Timothy Z. Witmer - professor of practical theology and coordinator of the practical theology department at Westminster Theological Seminary. He has served as senior minister of Crossroads Community Church since 1986 and is the author of The Shepherd Leader: Achieving Effective Shepherding in Your Church.
