Wiersbe, for encouragement and guidance on keeping their satisfaction in Christ, while John Piper's When I Don't Desire God: How to Fight for Joy confronts a spiritual problem that is many times ignored.

Father's Day is right around the corner, and it's time to celebrate dad! Today, Hollywood's typical father is lazy, silly, and disrespected by his entire family, but the real story is that dads everywhere love their families through hard work, quality time, and spiritual leadership. (And they can be silly at times, but in a great way that their kids adore!) This year at Father's Day, ask your customers who are dads what their favorite thing is about being a father. Then, present the answers on a special Father's Day display for all your customers to read. Dads will enjoy bragging on their kids, and kids (young and old alike) will love reading what their dads say about them. Happy Father's Day from your friends at Spring Arbor!
