A marriage can thrive when the husband constantly pursues his wife, seeking to win--again--what he already holds: her heart! Through his constant pursuit, a man of God emulates the consistent, gentle pursuit of the Holy Spirit in his own life. The Christian Husband's Handbook challenges the reader to pursue full Christlike masculinity by embracing sacrificial servant leadership in his home. This book offers a fresh perspective on marriage and family living, supported by a bibliography of almost 120 recently published sources.
The Handbook features two unique sections at the end of each chapter:
1. "Listen to the Lady" offers a woman's reflection on the topics; her thoughts enrich and illustrate the chapter's content in a unique way.
2. "Deal with It," a four-part application section at the end of each chapter, invites the reader to grow as a husband and father by reading additional sources, thinking-reflecting on their content, and then praying about, and acting on, the chapter's primary message.
Both authors firmly believe that Christian homes should be places of laughter, joy, and growth as men of God constantly pursue the treasure they already hold.
