What he must be… if he wants to marry my daughter

“Voddie Baucham believes that fathers have an important responsibility to protect and guide their daughters as they prepare for marriage. You don’t have to agree with every detail of this book to benefit greatly from the practical wisdom contained within its pages. As the father of two teenage daughters, I plan to keep this book close at hand.” Andreas Köstenberger, author of God, Marriage, and Family. What will you say when a young man sits in your living room, palms sweating, and barely able to speak, asking permission to marry your daughter? What criteria should he meet before the two of you are united for life? Fortunately, God has given us a clear description of the role of a husband/father in the home, and in “What He Must Be If He Wants to Marry My Daughter,” Voddie Baucham breaks that description down into ten desirable qualities. Not only should fathers of young women seek these qualities in their sons-in-law, but fathers of young men should strive to cultivate them in their sons. Baucham, one of the founders of the Family Integrated Church movement, follows up his acclaimed book Family Driven Faith with this thought-provoking and realistic defense of biblical manhood.
