Title: Complete Husband by Lou Priolo ISBN: 1-879737-35-3 Publisher: Calvary Press Pub. Date: 01 February, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.14 (7 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent, challenging book.
Comment: Priolo's book is an outstanding resource for reminding ourselves (as men) that we are to be the first ones on the cross in our homes. We cannot wait for our wives to lead. We cannot respond in anger or in half-heartedness. We must be dedicated to "fighting back without getting even" as Priolo puts it. We must learn to overcome evil with good, never seeking our own satisfaction, but the joy of our spouse and children in loving their Lord. Impossible? Yes, without the Lord's help. But Priolo makes that point over and over.
I was dissappointed in another reader's review of the book, saying that it promoted a view of the wife as inferior or weak, etc. I don't understand that position at all. This is not what I got from the book--nor do I think anyone else would after an honest reading. Priolo even states near the beginning (in the context of learning about your wife and her everyday needs/desires) that the husband probably shouldn't worry too much about the wife having to learn about the husband because she probably knows him already. She's probably already meeting his needs. Priolo gives most of the benefit of the doubt to the woman. As he says, it is the man's responsibility to be the first one on the cross.

Summary: Must read for all Husbands - Highly Recommended! Must Read.
Comment: Mr. Priolo has done it again! This is a must read for all current and future husbands. The book is filled with insights and instructions on the roles and responsibilities of the husband. The author compellingly exhorts the husbands from the Bible on how to love, serve and lead one's wife. The appendix section with questions and practical suggestions alone is worth the price of the book. Again a must read for all husbands seeking to grow as servant/spiritual leaders at home. Also a great gift for future husbands!

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I bought this for my husband because of the blurb on the cover saying it would be "a favorite gift to husbands from their wives." If she wants her husband to believe she needs to "repent" if she is not always as eager for sex as he is (so that he can then graciously forgive her), she should buy him this book. Or if she wants to be viewed as "weak" and "easily deceived" and treated in a condescending and controlling way she might want to give this to her husband. Priolo's interpretation and application of Scripture (often out of context) is highly questionable in many instances and directly leads to these extreme views.
Also, the publisher did a very poor job with glaring typo's and difficult-to-read, extremely small type. Cheap looking and not the thing I want to give anyone as a gift. I threw it in the garbage. Best place for it.
