Crossway’s homeschool book reviewers recently looked at What He Must Be . . . If He Wants to Marry My Daughter. This compelling apologetic of biblical manhood serves as valuable follow up to Voddie Baucham’s popular book, Family Driven Faith. By studying the principles outlined in his book, parents who want their daughters to marry godly men and their sons to become godly men will be well equipped to help their children seek and develop God-honoring qualities.

Here’s a great story from one of the reviewers:

“When I received the book for review, I immediately thought this was a book for Brian [husband] to read. Brian is not much of a reader (actually, he’s not a reader at all, unless he’s reading something to do with the dirt-track races or something written by Glenn Beck). So, when he told me there was a new Glenn Beck book out and that I could buy it at Amazon.com, I thought to myself, ‘hmm…this might just work…’

I ordered the book he wanted, but I gave it to him with an ultimatum . . . first, before he could read that book, he needed to read this one by Voddie Baucham, and let me know his thoughts on it. I didn’t think he would take me seriously, but HE DID! I noticed the book was missing; he was taking it along to work to read on his breaks. Each night, when he’s come home, I noticed the bookmark rapidly working it’s way through the book!

Brian started telling us things about the book—things he was reading and agreeing with, ideas that Mr. Baucham presents, etc. A few times, he even handed me the book and said, ‘hey, you have to read this!’ When it was all said and done, he said he’d like for me to read this book soon.”
