What He Must Be

...If He Wants to Marry My Daughter

By: Voddie Baucham Jr.

Narrated by: Calvin Robinson

All parents want their daughters to marry godly young men. But which qualities, specifically, should they be looking for? What will you say when that certain young man sits down in your living room, sweaty-palmed and tongue-tied, and asks your permission to marry your daughter? What criteria should he meet before the two of them join together for life?

What He Must Be...If He Wants to Marry My Daughter outlines 10 qualities parents should look for in a son-in-law, including trustworthiness, a willingness to lead his family, an understanding of his wife's role, and various spiritual leadership qualities.

Author Voddie Baucham follows up on his popular book Family Driven Faith with this compelling apologetic of biblical manhood. By studying the principles outlined in his book, parents who want their daughter to marry a godly man - as well as those who want their sons to become godly men - will be well equipped to help their children look for and develop these God-honoring qualities.

Must read for biblical manhood!

Very convicting, covers everything you can think of, great narration, and life-changing overall! Definitely recommend!!!

Must read!

This book is one of the most important parenting & discipleship I've read. Voddie Baucham's biblical perspective challenges parents to rethink how they're shepherding their sons and daughters instead of following the cultural norms.

Every Man must listen or read

I state this review more in a sense of every man must be intentional in how they pursue a marriage in the same way Jesus was intentional in pursuing us. This is not so much a review of the text of this book but an underlying call to raise good Christian men who love the Lord Jesus and are prepared to lead like Christ, love like Christ, and in so doing be like Christ. This book has left me contemplating those things I should be if I want to lead this life. If you call yourself a Christian, marriage should be taken extremely serious and as a college student wanting to pursue this I know that I have a long road ahead of me, but I know from this book that if I am going to be deeply invested in my future wife I must first know how to be deeply invested in Jesus. Otherwise it’s all futile.

Excellent!!!

Very needed biblical guidance for faithful fathers seeking wisdom during a very pivotal times for their daughters. I highly recommend it!

Great book full of biblical truths.

This is a wake up call for all of us who have been sleeping at the wheel of shepherding our family, specially, our daughters.

Convincing and Uplifting!

This book has been an absolute blessing on my life recently. I’m a young man with the intention to marry, and this book has helped me greatly to understand what it takes to be a godly man, husband, and father. I cannot recommend this book enough to fathers along with their sons and daughters. Please take the time to make yourself familiar with a biblical outlook on marriage before ever considering a life long covenant built on worldly principles.

All I can say is Thank You!!

As a young 39yr old man with an 18yr old daughter I always had a picture in my mind of what it would look like to chaperone my daughter into marriage. I had no clue how ill prepared I was. This book has taken away a great amount of fear and has given me confidence to use God’s Word as the only path to proceed through this process. I thank Dr. Baucham Jr. for putting in the work to bring this understanding to men like myself who are willing to listen to and learn what is pleasing to God in reference to being a man of God and giving away our daughters in marriage.

Excellent Biblical teaching on a complicated subject

Dr. Baucham teaches in a clear, understandable way what is God’s true design for marriage. Furthermore, he unpacks what is one of the most difficult parts of marriage in describing the Biblical roles of husband and wife. Voddie helps us understand the qualities of Biblical manhood, and I now feel we have an excellent outline for not only raising our son but for helping our daughters marry well, so they may experience a blessed, joyful union!
This is one of those books I wish I had read years ago, and will refer to in the years to come for my own marriage, training our children, and Lord willing, our future grandchildren! This book will help build a lasting legacy! Highly recommend.

Eye-opening & Heart stirring

Offers a different paradigm (anti-cultural) for viewing marriage and process of finding a mate.

Takes a fresh and biblical view on the responsibility of fathers in the preparation and selection of godly husbands for their daughters, as well as the raising of godly sons for marriage.

So glad I made time for this

Should be required for all men and women to listen to this. ESPECIALLY the men!
