This is the inspiring and convicting account of three eighteenth-century Christian leaders (John Wesley, George Whitfield & Jonathan Edwards), all of whom were passionate about glorifying God by serving Him in their generation. They left an enduring and fruitful legacy through their labors and they were also married. How they balanced (or did not balance) their passion for ministry with being married is the subject of this book. This book tells more than just the story of three couples it gives us contemporary lessons too, offering Biblical guidelines and counsel from modern day Christian leaders. Many couples today struggle with how God views the relationship between family and ministry. This book gleans insights from these examples and gives biblical guidelines and counsel from some modern day Christian leaders too. What is the legacy you are leaving in your marriage and ministry? Do you want the answers to these questions: Which comes first? Family or public ministry? What happens if a wife senses God's leading in a different direction to her husband? What are the Biblical responsibilities of a husband and father? A wife's response to difficulties in ministry? How should a godly man treat women other than his wife?

This review is from: Good Christians Good Husbands?: Leaving a Legacy in Marriage and Ministry (Paperback)
This is a well-referenced book that will serve as a good source for others doing similar research. I like the unique perspective on these icons of the faith. The danger of neglecting family is just as real today for all who seek to be used by God in this present age. Even though this is a somewhat scholarly book, it still reads quickly. She does a nice job of summarizing in the final chapter. I'm buying several copies to give out to friends in the ministry for Christmas. Hopefully it will spare them of future family problems by reminding them of their highest calling as a husband and father.

Must Read,

This review is from: Good Christians Good Husbands?: Leaving a Legacy in Marriage and Ministry (Paperback)
This is a must read for every Christian husband. Too many of us have bad viewpoints of our family life vs church life. Doreen Moore does an great job telling about these three men and their truely important impact.
Rarely will I tag a book with "must-read," but this is a MUST READ. Author, scholar, mom, and wife Doreen Moore has done an incredible job portraying the most important part of any man's Christian life, his marriage and his ministry. But she did so while comparing not just the marriage and ministry, but also the lives of three of history's most visible Christian preachers: George Whitefield, Jonathon Edwards, and John Wesley. This book will be one that will gradually catch on and talked about for years and years.
