I do recommend this book to Christian men as a good example of what biblical masculinity is all about. This book restores the male's role as protector and provider and also does no disservice to the woman's role. Wilson explains both roles and relates that they are designed to be different but to work together in unity. One role is not superior or inferior. They are just different.
This book also restores the importance of children growing up with fathers. Male figures that hold strongly to their Christian beliefs should be the foundation for Christian families. I loved that the author showed a very admirable, strong, masculine role for men to embrace. I hope more men embrace this role and more wives LET and ENCOURAGE their husbands to take the lead role and not to usurp that role.
The only part of this book that could really be improved was the beginning was slow and the wordiness of the book. Sometimes it took a lot of words to get to a point or to paint a picture. I didn't highlight nearly the amount of sentences as I normally will in a good book. So, this book had good points, but nothing new from John Piper's books on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. So, if you've heard it before, you probably won't get too much new from this book.
Disclaimer: I received this book free of charge from the publisher but I am not required to give a positive review in exchange for the book. This is my critical review of the book as if I had bought the book with my hard earned money.
