Summary

All parents want their daughters to marry godly young men. But which qualities, specifically, should they be looking for? What will you say when that certain young man sits down in your living room, sweaty-palmed and tongue-tied, and asks your permission to marry your daughter? What criteria should he meet before the two of them join together for life?

What He Must Be...If He Wants to Marry My Daughter outlines 10 qualities parents should look for in a son-in-law, including trustworthiness, a willingness to lead his family, an understanding of his wife's role, and various spiritual leadership qualities.

Author Voddie Baucham follows up on his popular book Family Driven Faith with this compelling apologetic of biblical manhood. By studying the principles outlined in his book, parents who want their daughter to marry a godly man - as well as those who want their sons to become godly men - will be well equipped to help their children look for and develop these God-honoring qualities.

Wow!!!

As a young woman who was once acustumed to living of the ways of the world, this has hands down been one of the best books I've read with regards to learning to have Biblical standards for my marriage in the near future.

A male friend of mine who's getting married soon told me he was reading this and I was intrigued because I too desire to have a Kingdom marriage. Due to my upbringing however, and not living according to the gospel, there have just been so many knowledge gaps.. ESPECIALLY in the area of relationships and Kingdom-focused marriage; because I just didn't see it growing up. This book however has taught me so much and transformed my mind in som many ways. I love love love that it's back with so much scripture. Thank you so much for writing/creating this book Sir 🙏

Biblical Manhood Clearly Taught!

This book is an exceptional work explaining biblical manhood, I was both highly encouraged, and thoroughly convicted to the high calling of manhood, to live as Christ, Dr. Baucham does an excellent job explaining biblical manhood!

A must read for any parent.

Just like the heading says, if you have children, this book is the most comprehensive and challenging read I've ever encountered regarding Parenthood.
Dr. Baucham definitely brings the Light of Truth to bear on his readers.

Haven’t we moved past this yet?

This is the kind of thing that was really popular in evangelical circles when I was in high school and college. Actually I was surprised to see the publication date (2009) because he was quite late to the party. Search “biblical manhood” and you’ll find fifty books just like this one.

The kind of so-called “biblical manhood” that is elevated here is seductively simple - it’s easy to read and think “oh yeah definitely” - but it’s not actually how real marriage relationships work. The very definitions are so strict as to leave little room for how marriage partners are different people with different gifts. It’s very patriarchal, very rigid in terms of “proper roles”, and leaves very little room for the woman to be anything other than a daughter and then a wife.

Voddie hits it out of the park.

This work is essential for all parents, grand parents, pastors, peeachers and teachers.

As a twice divorced sinlge, I hit all the pitfalls of Romeo amd Juliette. My dad was a church goer but he did not prepare my brothers for manhood ans was not the preist, protector, prophet or provider to teach me discernment.

ln fact, until I moved out of the country, I brought suitors to meet my mom before having any serious conversations. She would give me her impressions, which I took or not. Her reading of people proved precise often saved me time as she sometimes confirmed my intuition.

Now, I use it for myself and am instructing my daughter. I pray that I will be able to help my son become a Godly man.

This should be required for all christian fathers

I wish I had this before the birth of my first child. Listen closely and take it to heart. This is much more than a filter for a potential suiter. It is a model of the role of the father for the next generation.
