The table Still Holds

The evidence is in, and it is grim: the smartphone in your child's hand is measurably harming him - and no rule, no lecture, no confiscation will fix what only a father's presence can.In The Table Still Holds, pastor and author Paul Shepherd writes to the man who came home tired and quietly checked out - who loves his children and finds himself speaking to the top of their bowed heads, present in body while absent in every way that counts.This is not a book about being the boss of your home. It is about the quieter, deeper leadership most fathers miss entirely: the leadership of a man who puts his own phone down, lifts his face, sits back down at his own table, and stays.Written as a confession by a father who nearly missed it, and grounded in Scripture on every page, it returns to the one reliable gathering a family has left - the table - and shows how a father forms his children not by what he commands but by whether he is truly there.The device is stealing your children. The answer is a present father. The table still holds - and it's still yours. Sit back down.
