review 1: I think it's healthy to read a fatherhood book every now and again, so I got this one after hearing Voddie interviewed on Focus on the Family. He did a great interview. I actually was more impressed with the interview than I was in the book.It's not a bad book, but not much groundbreaking, to me. He does emphasize a few points such as church membership that I don't usually read emphasized, which was good, but on the other hand some of his hobby horses were quite annoying. I almost stopped reading in the first part of the book when it seemed it was going to be all about his personal obsession with "age-integrated" worship services (heard that before, was unimpressed the first time I heard it, and no more impressed reading it from him). However, after I got past that the res... moret of the book was pretty good. Only a 3, though, I didn't feel any particular insight or excitement.
review 2: I very much enjoy the writing of Dr Baucham. It is simple to understand and Biblical.This book doesn't give a precise checklist of what it takes to be a good shephard but provides principles on which to build a God-honoring leadership practice in the home. Like any good thing the principles will need to be developed which will be part of the joy of knowing God and being taught by the Spirit in Christ. less
