From Voddie Baucham’s What He Must Be, pp. 181-182

Just concluded reading What He Must Be. . . if he wants to marry my daughter by Voddie Baucham which was a great read. More could be added no doubt, but his requirements for a potential suitor for his daughter is a great discussion launcher and biblically rooted. I will just give you the basic [...]

Douglas Bond has this call to arms for young men in Fathers and Sons, Hold Fast in a Broken World:
Self-controlled young men have sanctified affections. They love what they should love; they walk by faith informed by truth; they live for an audience of one–God; they value Christ and his salvation more than all the [...]

Voddie Bauchman writes:
Imagine a family who did not prepare their children for college. This would be unthinkable in today’s world. Everyone prepares their child for an academic future. Day-care programs boast about the head start they will give children in their “academic careers.” We buy houses in neighborhoods with “the best schools.” Beyond that, many [...]

Some nuggets of wisdom from Tony Dungy in his latest book Uncommon:

I listened to a seminar recently by Bob Welch and he challenged men (young and old) about the decisions of life they must make. No decision in these areas is still a decision. These are not easy questions to answer. They require Bible-saturated thought, earnest prayer, and wise counsel. If you haven’t thought through these [...]
