Tender Warrior is about striving to become the king,
warrior, mentor, and friend to our wife and children. Men can sometimes get so caught
up in trying to work so hard to provide for their families. They don’t spend
enough time in building and maintaining the role their family needs them to fulfill.
A man must have a vision for the future of their family. It’s important to
share our dreams with our wife and we need to listen to her dreams. Weber
believed in keeping his word and promises and passing that character trait down
to future generations.
He also shared the story about Job and how he stayed with
God even when he lost all of his children, animals, and servants. He kept
serving God despite the problems, pains, and struggles that he had to endure. Today,
when men encounter difficulties most are running instead of practicing endurance.
The book discussed the statics of fatherless homes and the rise in divorced
rates. He included an analogy of how our children are like arrows and we must
teach them how to survive and how to provide for themselves and their families.
Stu Weber asked men to examine the answers to these
questions: (Page 31-32).
“If our marriage were to go on just the way it’s been
going, what will it be like for us in five, ten, twenty years?
“How can I build the self-esteem of my wife, who spends
enormous amounts of time cleaning house and changing diapers?”
“When will my little boy and I need to have our first
talk about sex?”
I only shared some of the important questions we need to
ponder. The book contained much more discussion questions to dive into.
I would recommend this book to men who have the courage
to stay in the race with their family. Staying, protecting, leading, and
providing are critical roles, we must practice to raise our children the precise
way. The book is a magnificent written book that appeals to the hearts of men. It
has a lot of stories that will give men the strength to know that they aren’t
alone. I learned that I must step up my game in order to be the husband and father
I was created to be. I also have seen the importance of leaning on other men in
our journey together to fathering our children. I tend to be more of the lone
ranger and I am realizing that I must continue to work to change that. I am
going to start to pray for a Jonathan to come into my life. I enjoyed the discussion
questions and how they were displayed. At the end of each chapter, readers got
the chance to answer some by himself and some with his friends. I don’t have
any children right now but in the future this book will be a great book to reread
to remind me of the magnitude of passing down high-quality character traits. I
learned so much about learning to be a man who is able to stand and lead his
children correctly. Even when I fail, all that matters is that I try again and
learn from my mistakes! If you’re looking for a book that will assist in your
parenting then read this awesome life changing book! Fellow, Tender Warriors
arise!
