Publisher's summary

"Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone." - "Lead Me" by Sanctus Real

Matt Hammitt had performed his hit song, "Lead Me", almost a thousand times. And every time he sang, the lyrics echoed the voices of his own family. His marriage was strained. His kids were growing up without him. Matt's good intentions could no longer sustain his family; he needed to be a man of action. Yet even as he told his Sanctus Real bandmates that he was leaving the band to invest in his family, he wondered: Was it really possible to be present at home and still provide financially too?

In Lead Me, Matt identifies the tension many men experience when trying to balance work and home life. With bracing honesty, vulnerable storytelling, and practical application, Matt challenges you to be faithful both to God's vocational call and to His call to lead your family well.

Discover the extraordinary joy of actively and intentionally pursuing your wife and children. Matt reminds us that it's messy. It's difficult. And it's the most rewarding thing you can do, beyond following Christ.

For every Husband & Father! 😢

I’m still crying from the last chapter as I write this review. Like a chapter out of my life’s journey —and failures- so relatable. A real and honest retelling of a Mans journey through the trials of daily life. Arriving at poignant conclusion of how to LEAD your family as Christ intended. Thank you Matthew for being so vulnerable & transparent to give us men a story to follow and example to live by. Break my heart for what breaks yours Lord and mold and change me into your likeliness. Amen!

Incredible!

This was the best thing in 2020! It is very well written and executed! I recommend every Christian married couple listen to this. The raw emotion is very powerful!

Heartfelt

I love how you could really feel the authors heart coming through. I would recommend this book to anyone starting a family and raising kids!

Heart Healing Inspiration

Thank you for being real and vulnerable. I love your music and listening to you and your wife tell your authentic story of Faith, Love and Overcoming was priceless. I listened to it with out stopping and by the time I was through had sent it to 5 people.

Inspiring.

I wish I would have read this before my marriage is where it’s at now. I can only pray that we will recover.

Becoming the Man GOD always intended him to be. And realizing it.

Fabulous book. Raw,Heartfelt, honest. I love the way he realized his wife needed him to lead her and he finally started doing it.

Encouraging, Inspirational, and Interesting

I highly recommend this book to husbands and fathers, and to anyone else who would like to read or listen to it with them. I would like to go back and listen to it again myself, paying more attention to and taking notes from sections I thought especially helpful or meaningful and to the discussion questions. There is a lot more I have in common with Matt Hammitt than I thought, both in how we feel and think and in difficulties and experiences we have had, especially in the little ways that might sound silly to talk about.

I've considered Matt Hammit my role model for a while because I admired how he kept his faith through his struggles regarding his son's severe heart issues. I followed the blog "Bowen's Heart." Reading this book, I learned interesting things about Matt and his life. He also had a lot of thoughts and wisdom to share that I can appreciate, especially since I can relate to some of what he had to share.

I know role models are people with issues and mistakes, but this book helps keep things in perspective. There were things I never knew he was dealing with regarding relationships and responsibilities when I was reading his blog, and I did not know about some other projects he and his wife have done that discuss such things. He has done and faced a lot, and he is far from perfect, just like every single other human being in existence. He's not better than people who look up to him, but he helps those people look up to God.

Tears and tears.

Iv listened to a lot of book and this is my first review, because how could I not write one of listening. I can’t explain how much this book has captured my heart in such a way to want to give my own heart to my wife and capture hers. I think I cried every day I listened to this book. Thank you matt and sarah for your willingness to be so vulnerable with the world to help family’s and marriages. Hod bless you and your family.
