Start With the Basics
I am pleased to be able to comment on (and commend) Voddie Baucham’s new book, What He Must Be If He Wants to Marry My Daughter. In his introduction, Baucham rightly links family issues to reformation and revival. For far too long, we have left theology to the theology wonks and relationships to the relational …
