The title on this page was misleading and has been changed. It previously read “Building a Godly Home: A Guide for Faithful Fathers”, which is the title of two much better known books this page has nothing to do with. To be clear about what you are looking at:
- This page reviews HOW TO BUILD A GODLY HOME by Joseph Sunday Ekaji, a self published book of about 88 pages.
- It is not Building a Godly Home by Max Lucado, the Max on Life book and CD study. We review that one separately.
- It is not Building a Godly Home by William Gouge, the three volume Puritan work adapted by Scott Brown and Joel Beeke from Of Domestical Duties.
If you came looking for either of those, this is the wrong page and we would rather tell you than take the click.
What we could verify
The book exists. It is credited to Joseph Sunday Ekaji, self published through Amazon, and listed at roughly 88 pages. The stated subject is helping fathers teach their children to see God in everyday life, with Bible reading as one part of a wider practice rather than the whole of it.
What we could not verify
Nearly everything else. We could not find the author’s church, ministry, background, or any other published work. We could not find independent reviews from a source we would trust. We could not confirm the book’s structure or contents beyond the publisher’s own description.
An earlier version of this page described the book confidently: relatable stories, insightful spiritual guidance, a structured approach to family discipleship. We have no basis for any of that. It was written to fill a template, not from the book, and it has been removed.
Why we are saying so rather than writing a normal review
Anyone can publish on Amazon, and some genuinely good books arrive that way. But with no publisher and no editor, the product listing is the only thing between the author and you. For a book teaching fathers how to disciple their children, that is worth knowing before you spend the money, because you cannot check the author’s theology against anything.
We are not saying the book is bad. We are saying we do not know, and we will not invent a review to fill the space.
What we would suggest
Use the Amazon preview. Read the opening pages and see whether the author handles Scripture with care and whether the counsel sounds like it came from someone who has actually raised children.
If you want a book on family discipleship with a known author behind it, our Family section has several, and the Lucado title mentioned above is a gentle, very short place to start.
Bottom line
A real book with a confusing title, by an author we could not trace. Preview it before you buy, and do not mistake it for the better known books that share its name.
