Summary: A Good Start to Make a Great Marriage
Comment: I have been a Christian for almost 17 years and married for almost 6 years, and this is probably the best book that I have read for men in a long time. It really shows us how to treat our wives, as well as, and most importantly, create a reverent, strong Christian home from the beginning.
I am putting the things that I learned in this book to practice everyday to make a better relationship with my wife as well as my Lord.
One of the things that is the most important in my life is how we should lead our families "into the prescence of God". That is one of the more difficult things for me, personally. But after reading Lepine's book, and seeing how very important it is that I am the spiritual leader of my house, I am trying it very hard. My wife and I pray at least 2x a day, and we are doing a daily devotional everynight.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their relationship with their wives while at the same time growing in the presence of God.

Summary: God's Vision? More Like Man's Vision.
Comment: This book has some wonderful, if typical, advice. Love unconditionally. Honor your wife, etc. But then the author makes sweeping statements with questionable biblical backing. He presents the husband as a "prophet, priest and king" in the life of his wife. The implication is that the wife is NOT any of these things--an unbiblical premise. The Bible teaches the priesthood of believers, not husbands. This book is the same nice-sounding but actually sexist rhetoric that can be found in hundreds of other books. Save your money and look elsewhere.

Summary: Creative, Funny, Insightful Look at Biblical Leadership
Comment: For his first book, Lepine tackles a tough topic almost as easily as Tiger Woods' first weekend at Augusta. With heavy doses of humor and an appropriate number of real-life stories, this life long broadcaster makes his point effectively: for a man to be successful in God's eyes as a husband, he must be a corageous leader spiritually and organizationally in the home.
Other books on manhood that I've read--Tender Warrior, The Masculine Journey, etc.--cover all of the male struggle. Lepine's book actually sticks to what it means to be a husband. I appreciate the focus.
His standards are high--calling to mind John Calvin is a tall order. I appreciate his honesty and the personal stories--Lepine is real, not made up.
My favorite aspect of the book is how Lepine moves from umbrella principle, to biblical support, to illustration, to (finally) personal application. He doesn't insult my intelligence with his application points; he calls me up short. I'm glad there's comic relief amid the moans.
If there's a weak point to the book (other than the dreadful cover), it's the section on the husband as "prophet." I have trouble connecting with the principle.
I've run across a somewhat self-published study guide as well.
