Here is what's being said about the book:
The church is losing her men. The church desperately needs her men. How do we as leaders and shepherds in the body of Christ stem the tide of this troubling trend? I don't have all the answers, but I know someone. Do yourself and the men of your congregation a favor and read Dan Schaffer's book, Spiritual Fathers. He will answer the question of "why men are so vital" ... and what to do about it.
H.B. London, Jr.,Vice President, Church, Clergy and Medical Outreach, Focus on the Family
"Finally!! A men's ministry tool that focuses on quality not just quantity. Many books tell how to build a men's ministry but few tell how to build the men along with the ministry. If you are serious about building godly men with depth, then this is the book for your ministry. Schaffer's book is a must read for anyone serious about building men into spiritual anchors in the church."
Dr. Rod Cooper, Kenneth and Jean Hansen Professor of Discipleship and Leadership, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
Dan Schaffer knows the heart of men, and knows how to help the church become more effective with men. In plain and powerful language, this book is a blueprint for enabling the church to reach more men, and change men into the likeness of Christ. Dan hits the long ball when he teaches on the difference between churches as "production factories" versus spiritual reproduction that occurs when authentic disciples pass God’s DNA to others. The latter is truly the key to the next great awakening of Christianity.
Larry Malone, Director, United Methodist Men Ministries
I have journeyed with Dan for the past 15 years. Dan was one of the four founders of Promise Keepers back in the 1991. He is a man of integrity, a linear thinker and a man of vision. I love Dan Schaffer, support the ministry of Building Brothers and feel that his insight into men’s ministry can benefit not only men, but the entire Church of Jesus Christ. Every pastor and leader would benefit from reading this clear presentation of the process that needs to be undertaken to pioneer a pathway to build spiritual fathers and ultimately impact our culture for Christ.
Dave Wardell, PhD, co-founder Promise Keepers
Few men have the clear understanding of need for spiritual fathering that God has given Dan Schaffer. If you are a pastor or men’s ministry leader, Spiritual Fathers is not an optional resource. Over the years, there have been several very good books for men. Yet, only a rare few are able to touch the very heart of what God is calling men to and share with clarity the pathway to get them there. This book will become one of the benchmark books in men’s ministry for years to come.
Dr. Chuck Stecker, President/Founder, A Chosen Generation
Brilliant! From his wealth of experience in ministry to men and sensitivity to the Spirit, Dan Schaffer pin points a key issue in the Church today and lays out an effective plan to help the local church develop strong male leadership that will reproduce the passionate pursuit of God in the lives of others. These are not unproven ideas. Building Brothers has impacted men of our church. Building Brothers is not a course, not a class – an experience! It is not a program. It is a transformational process that is building our men into spiritual fathers that we believe will "reproduce spiritual heirs." It is a journey. It is providing a pathway for our men to fulfill the vision and fourfold mission of our church. I do believe the strength of the process is the secret…that it is not a program! It is life changing.
