The “Find One, Build One” blog tour officially wrapped up on Friday. We’ve seen 46 tour-related posts to date, and we expect the conversation to continue! Our reviewers have been mothers of sons, fathers of daughters, single parents, and even singles. They’ve been pastors, homeschooling moms, teachers, and writers—just to name a few. Visit our earlier posts here, here, and here to discover how What He Must Be has impacted someone much like you.
In conclusion, allow us to direct your attention to nine more blogs:
Rebecca Stark of Rebecca Writes had a number of hesitations about participating in the tour. But she explains here.
Thabiti Anyabwile and his wife have obviously been reflecting on the subject matter of What He Must Be for some time now. Thabiti writes at Pure Church: “Baucham has put words to our angst. As we look at our daughters, we wonder out loud, ‘Who will they marry?’ The question isn’t rooted in a romantic idealizing about Prince Charming, it’s rooted in the harrowing reality that so few young men seem really to be prepared for manhood at all.” Thabiti has encouraged his readers to join in with their thoughts, questions, and reactions to the book, so keep watching.
Bible Geek Gone Wild’s Shaun Tabatt and Melissa Jackson of 5 Minutes for Books comment on the need for a book like What He Must Be and the potential for transformation that it offers. Shaun remarks, “At the very least, I hope it will show you that you don’t have to accept the cultural norms when it comes to preparing your daughters and sons for marriage.”
Bob Hayton at Fundamentally Reformed highlights an interesting passage in What He Must Be. Check out his post, Romeo, Juliet, and a Biblical Courtship Model, to read Baucham’s perspective on the famous love story.
Ray Van Neste appreciates What He Must Be because it offers a model for parents who want to get involved as their children select a mate. Ray notes, “Most of us have not seen this done, so good examples and thoughtful reflection are at a premium.” Read more at Oversight of Souls.
Carrie Brownell at Reading to Know promises a full review shortly, as does Candice Watters of Boundless Line and Beauty Unveiled’s <http://beautyunveiled.blogspot.com/2009/02/find-husband-bulid-husband.html> Melanie Glas.
