What does it mean to be a covenantal husband? What does it mean to be a covenantal father?

Federal thinking is foreign to the modern mind. Federal has come to mean nothing more than centralized or big. Because our federal government has become so uncovenantal, it is not surprising that the original meaning of the word is lost. But federal thinking is the backbone of historic Protestant theology, and the Church needs to recover the covenantal understanding of federal headship. Husbands are to lead their families, taking responsibility for them as covenant heads—as federal husbands.

This book is a part of Douglas Wilson's series of books on the family, which has helped many people trying to deal with the everyday messes that come with sinners living under the same roof. This book on covenantal headship contains much practical and biblical wisdom that is never more timely than now, but which we will always need to be reminded of again and again.

 

How would you describe the spiritual aroma of your home?

The source of this aroma is the relationship between husband and wife. Many can fake an attempt at keeping God's standards in some external way. What we cannot fake is the resulting, distinctive aroma of pleasure to God.

Reforming Marriage does what few books on marriage do today: it provides biblical advice. Whether it has to do with respect and love, confession of sin, sexual fidelity, or even the gnarly issues of divorce and remarriage, Douglas Wilson points to the need for obedient hearts on the part of both husbands and wives. This book is part of the Canon Press series of books on the family, which has helped many people trying to deal with the on the everyday messes that come with sinners living under the same roof. Godly marriages proceed from obedient hearts, and the greatest desire of an obedient heart is the glory of God.

Luther's comments are pertinent for today.

Finally a picture book with a good story!

After finishing this book, my three year old uttered an “Amen!” and I couldn’t agree more.

Loved by young and old

Both I and my children (ages 3,5, and 7) love this book. There are some books that are a slog as a parent to get through. This is not one of those. You will love it and so will your kids. Surprisingly humorous too. There is a page that always gets a laugh.

Loved the title.

Excellent “road map commentaries” on Paul’s epistles thus far. Great group study material! Through this commentary, was introduced to R. Kent Hughes. Grateful for Doug’s ministry and canon press!

We are loving this book. The stories are well thought out and have created great discussion with our children.

My Dear Hemlock

Unique approach, solidly biblical.

Very helpful, touches on things that I’ve never seen in other far more popular marriage books. Solidly biblical.

Best children’s Dragon Story

I recently was exposed to the disappointing movie, How to Train a Dragon. It was demoralizing and terribly confusing for young Christian minds who are drawn in by the beautiful animation and empathy with God’s creatures. In contrast, Crispin’s Rainy Day displays excellent art with a noble and realistic drama. The hero overcomes his own sin to win the day for a godly feminine hero who instructs me every time I think of her character. This is good art!

Wonderful

Wonderful book for a young, married woman with a baby! I am now gifting it to friends.

My kid loves it

I enjoy waking up to a word of encouragement each day, and find myself revisiting it again at night.

Favorite Board Book!

All our kids, both boys and girls, have loved Hello Ninja! We buy it for all the babies we know!

Great book

I couldn’t see any imperfections! My 2.5 year old loves this and has already memorized most of the book. :)

I read this book along with my reading of 2 Corinthians. I appreciated Doug’s insight and humor. The book definitely enhanced my study.

Very Helpful for Family Worship

Cantica Sanctorum is a fantastic setting of Psalms and it has been extremely helpful for my wife and I in our family worship. Psalm 113 is our favorite so far.
