If I'm Not Tarzan and My Wife is Not Jane, What am I Doing in the Jungle?

by Steve Farrar

It's a Jungle Out There! Funny thing about living in a jungle. Turn your back for a minute and you have pythons in your closet, jaguars in your garage, vines growing through your bedroom window,...and monkeys on your back. What is this American jungle? It's the frenzied push to acquire more stuff, earn more money, commute more miles, work longer hours, and climb the corporate ladder. Yet for all that effort, we're bringing home more and enjoying it less. Yes, it's a jungle out there--and it's killing our families. Family advocate Steve Farrar insists you can carve out a happy home lfe from this new American wilderness, but it takes a wide-awake, jungle-wise husband and wife with an accurate compass and a sharp machete. If you want to learn how to be in the jungle, but not of the jungle, this is just the guide you're looking for. Steve Farrar speaks to thousands of people each year in evangelical churches across North America. His well-known conference, "Building Strong Families," is recognized as one of the foremost equipping tools for families in America today. A native Californian and a pastor for fifteen years, Steve is president of Strategic Living Ministries in Dallas, Texas. He is a graduate of California State University, Fullerton, and Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon. He also holds an earned doctorate from Dallas Theological Seminary. Steve and his wife, Mary, have three children, Rachel, John, and Joshua.
