The Exemplary Husband: A Biblical Perspective Paperback – 30 Nov. 2002

This book is not an easy read!This is unapologetically a deeply Christian book, a deeply Christian read.I recommend The Exemplary Husband to any and every man even thinking of marriage, but would suggest that it should be compulsory for every man preparing for marriage; not only for the Christian but for the non-Christian, too. So much confusion, so many problems, so much heartache and sorrow could be avoided.

Thank you

This is a really good book guiding men through many aspects of married life.Im entering my 3rd year of marriage and this book has helped me tremendously since reading it at the start of the year. The content has scripture backing up each point, paragraph and chapter.I feel ever more confident that i can be a caring loving husband who is the provider and leader in my home and live my life more Christ-like. This book has highlighted many areas i have perhaps been weak in and has given me the urgency to change and im sure my wife will agree that since reading this book and my wife reading the excellent wife, we have been in better communication with each other as a result.Im again reading this book in the summer as part of my churches mens ministry and im looking forward to discussing the different ways we as men have changed or shaped up as a result of being led via the word of God.Mr Scott has taken so much time, care and love in preparing this book and I thank him for it.

I wanted to order the book "The Exemplary Husband", which is what this title says, but I received the teacher's guide. Looking carefully at the image, this is what it is. Be careful when ordering that you get the book!

What I liked the most about this book is how it uses sound theology to explain the role of the husband. Ultimately it is all about Christ, even in how we behave ourselves HE is the best example to follow.From this book I understood a lot of theological topics, even though this is not a theology book per se, which tells me how strong the foundation for the author's advice is.I would recommend this book to any man, single or married, young or old. It contains deep knowledge about our relation with God presented in a way that it's impossible to understand the practical implications that we need to replicate in our lives. It sets the bar high and inspires you to strive for it.

A wonderful book to read whether you’re engaged or married for 30 years!

The author has taken pain to first discuss on the foundations and then to go on to the applications. Not a book filled with jokes but truth. God bless the book !

Wer der englischen Sprache einigermaßen mächtig ist und ein Kind Gottes ist sollte sich dieses Buch unbedingt "antun".Ein Buch voller fundamentaler biblischer Wahrheit über die Beziehung Gott - Mann - Frau.In einer Youtube-Predigt von Paul Washer wurde dieses Buch einmal erwähnt und ich habe es mir gleich bestellt - eine sehr gut Entscheidung.Dieses Buch hat mein männliches Denken über die Beziehung zu meiner Frau grundlegend geändert weil die Beziehung zu meiner Frau immer zuerst über den "Augenfilter" Gottes geht, d.h. ich muss zuallererst mein Frau mit den Augen Gottes sehen damit ich ein gesegneter Ehemann bin - umgekehrt gilt natürlich dasselbe.Absolut empfehlenswert und bereichernd, ja segnend.Kleiner Hinweis - am Ende des Buches gibt der Autor Empfehlungen (Finanzen, Alterversorgung, etc.) die sich nur bedingt für den europäischen Leser anwenden lassen was aber den Wert dieses Buches in meinen Augen überhaupt nicht schmälert.

This is the book I have been looking for. In my experience, MANY Christian marriage books are loaded with personal advice and nice-sounding but thinly-founded pragmatism. Many are full of personal stories and examples to the point of distraction. There is a certain place for such things, but even many of the best books require a lot of filtering to get to the real, biblical meat, it seems to me. And that is why I so appreciate this book by Stuart Scott. No filtering necessary. Just content.It's like a full, hearty, rich steak-and-potato meal in the midst of a buffet full of cheap cereals or something.I find the book very engaging, but not because it is entertaining. It is engaging because the content is pure gold and I long to be a better husband unto the Lord and for the sake of my lovely wife, so I eat it up eagerly.The entire focus is unpacking and applying what Scripture has to say about marriage from a husband's perspective. There are some personal anecdotes, but the vast majority is very keenly focused on the simple application of Scripture, which makes this book as timeless as the truths it is founded upon.It is very well-written, clear, and to the point, with very few frills. Lists of application points galore. Lots of very well-organized sections and sub-sections with clear headings, making it easy to navigate and understand. Personally, I have placed sticky notes on the sections where I know I have struggles. Beyond the first readthrough, I will certainly use this book as a reference point for personal edification for years to come because the material is so easy to find and so clearly and cleanly presented.This would be a fantastic book for a man preparing for marriage, but, because its focus is pretty much just Bible, it is also very, very good for ANY husband.Encouraging, convicting, applicational, compelling, and motivating, all without the frills or jokes. HIGHLY recommend for any man who wants to take his role as a husband seriously and serve the Lord by loving his wife very well.
