Endorsement:

"Dr. Witmer's The Shepherd Leader has been a huge encouragement to me and to my elders as we seek to be more faithful shepherds to our congregation. Now comes this helpful book: The Shepherd Leader at Home. In it, Witmer provides biblical, complementarian, practical direction for knowing, leading, providing for, and protecting our families. As a pastor, one of the five principle things I aim to do is to 'promote family religion.' That is, perhaps, a quaint way of emphasizing that godliness in the home is vital to the health of the local church. This book is a useful aid to that end. I commend it to you warmly." J. Ligon Duncan, Chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi

"With marriage and the family under present-day pressures, it takes a wise man to think and write well about being a husband and father under God. This book reveals Dr. Witmer as just such a wise man, and makes his wisdom available to us all. Highly recommended." J. I. Packer, Board of Governors' Professor of Theology, Regent College

"Another book on marriage and family life? Yes, but this one is different. It is short, but not easy; practical, but also deeply realistic; honest, but also warm. Also, thankfully, for all that Dr. Witmer is-seminary professor, preaching pastor, author, father, and husband-here is one thing he never pretends to be, namely Guru! Perhaps that's why this is such a wonderfully encouraging book." Sinclair B. Ferguson, Professor of Systematic Theology, Redeemer Seminary, Dallas, Texas
