Very good book for those looking to grow

This is a great book for those looking to be the Christian man that the Lord is calling all men to be. Without many good examples of that type of man in this world, there are not that many opportunities to "see" this in action. The Bible is the ultimate source to find the answers and the author references scripture frequently, but Bob puts it all together in a way that is easily understood and applicable. If you are seeking to become a more of the man that the Lord and likely your wife wants you to be and you are willing to be open and honest, you will get a lot out of this book. I just wish I came across 'The Christian Husband' years ago!

On time and excellent condition

I ordered this book and received it on time and it was in excellent condition and, even with the shipping cost, was less expensive than buying at my local bookstore.

Never too early. Never too late.

If you're already a husband or you're thinking of becoming one someday (even if you don't have anyone picked out yet), this is a book you need to read. You can never be perfect, but The Christian Husband provides some useful principles worth following to counter the cultural forces resisting a happy, biblically based marriage. To be an effective leader of the household, a husband is to be a prophet, priest, and a king. What does this mean? Read the book to find out. It probably isn't what it would seem to the world. I freely admit my struggles and failures as a husband, but this book helped me identify some of the reasons I've been experiencing them, as well as some principles and approaches to fixing them. I can't recommend this highly enough.

This is not Christianity Lite

This is not a "lightweight" book. This book is not an attempt to make you "feel good" nor is it an attempt at some shortsighted pop psychology ploy about "love banks" and "love tanks". Thankfully, God has raised up men like Bob Lepine, whose first priority is to honor God--by obeying Him. That is what this book is all about: Biblical fidelity in the role of a Christian Husband. This book is Bible-saturated and very approachable. The book is broke down into three sections: The Qualifications of a Christian Husband, The Model for Husbands--Jesus Christ, & The Task--How to Really Love Your Wife. In each of the sections Mr. Lepine tackles many of the task that we, as Christian Husbands, should be doing from a biblical perspective. I can't think of a more important book to read for any husband. As a newlywed husband myself, I have gleaned much from this book and wholeheartedly and enthusiastically commend The Christian Husband.

Essential for all husbands!

"The Christian Husband" challenges us as men to be the kind of husbands God wants us to be. The book is Biblically-saturated, Christ-exalting, and God-glorifying. I recommend it for all husbands, no matter how long or short you have been married.
