 | What's the Difference?: Manhood and Womanhood Defined According to the BibleAuthor: John PiperBinding: Paperback List price: $8.99 USD Amazon price: $8.99 USD |
Reviewer: Brian G Hedges (Niles, Michigan)
John Piper delivers a carefully studied Biblical portrait of what it means to be a man or a woman. The principles are based on sound Biblical exegesis, but without a lot of technicality and detail. The chapters dealing with "The Meaning of Masculinity" and "The Meaning of Femininity" are dealt with by the use of carefully constructed definitions that are unfolded word-by-word. Extensive space is given to describing the masculine role of leadership. Piper's approach is Scriptural, and therefore relevant; and he labors hard to bridge any apparant gaps between the Biblical model and its contemporary relevance.

 | Disciplines of a Godly ManAuthor: R. Kent HughesBinding: Hardcover List price: $19.99 USD Amazon price: $13.59 USD |
Reviewer: Daniel Darling "book hawk" (Ingleside, IL)
R. Kent Hughes hits the nail on the head. The world in general and the church in particular is suffering from a lack of godly leadership. When pastors and longtime church leaders are falling into sin on a daily basis, Christians need a wake-up call to spiritual living. And it's the men who must take the lead.
This book is ten years old, but it has never been more relevant. Mixing biblical exposition with practical application, Hughes gives men a prescription for righteous living.
As hard as it is to take, this veteran pastor speaks to men on their terms. Carefully organized, The Disciplines of a Godly Man, goes through each phase of a man's life. It delivers Scriptural guidelines on issues like lust, pride, responsibility, and marriage.

 | The Exemplary Husband : A Biblical PerspectiveAuthor: Stuart ScottBinding: Hardcover List price: $21.95 USD |
Reviewer: Jim Dowhaniuk (Vancouver, WA United States)
I just finished reading "The Exemplary Husband". I cannot thank Dr. Stuart Scott enough for this book. It is so thorough. I will read it again and again. The book has so much in it that it should be read slowly to really absorb and capture the Biblical perspective for the husband. Dr. Scott's extensive use of Bible exerpts is the core of why this book works! Finally, I am beginning to understand the the true role of the husband. My wife and I are Catholic and I used to have pretty much an "I'm the boss" attitude or "you should listen to me because I am the husband".
