Selection for May 2008 The Complete Husband - by Lou Priolo
Find out why Pastor Gregg calls this 'the best book I have ever read on what the scripture teaches on being a husband of God'.
I r ecently completed reading The Complete Husband for the second time (this time as part of a pre-marital counseling relationship with a young man from the church) and was impressed again with how excellent this book is. While reading and meditating on the book, I found it to be filled with practical ways to implement God’s word into your married relationship. The subtitle of Lou Priolo’s book is “A Practical Guide to Biblical Husbanding” and it couldn’t be more aptly named. Its pages are filled with Scripture that is explained in a clear and understandable manner and without hesitation I would call this the best book I have ever read on what the scripture teaches on being a husband of God. Its chapters are short (10-15 pages) and give you plenty of meat to chew on for a week or so at a time. You will also gain a lot by working through the end of the chapter activities that Priolo offers for you to apply what you are learning. You will be blessed by reading this book and your marriage will be strengthened by applying the truths you learn within. The Complete Husband by Lou Priolo can be purchased here. Previous Recommendations The Man God Uses by Henry Blackaby  Many may be familiar with the author (renown for the excellent work and study book - Experiencing God), but not as familar with this small book. I have read and re-read this book many times and have been blown away by the simplicity and profundity of its message. This simply written book will challenge you to grow in faith and trust in your loving Savior. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Great Father's Day gift as well. The Man God Uses by Henry Blackeby can be purchased here. The Great Physician - by G. Campbell Morgan A challenging read, but divided into short (6-8 page) chapters looking at everyone of Jesus' interactions with people (large and small) in the gospels. Take your time with this one and you will be blessed for having done so. The Great Physician - by G. Campbell Morgan can be purchased here. |
