The two books are:
Voddie Baucham's, Family Shepherds. Here is a description:
God has mandated the transfer of his truth from one generation to the next. Because this transfer takes place primarily in the home, Voddie Baucham Jr. seeks to guide men in faithfully shepherding their families.
Derived from Baucham’s monthly meetings with men in his church, Family Shepherds calls men to accountability for their God-given responsibilities as husbands and fathers. This book will inspire them to live better, love better, and lead better so that their families will thrive in every way.
Baucham’s clear style and practical approach will help men protect their marriage, raise kingdom-minded children, value the synergy between church and home, and navigate difficult family dynamics. It will inspire them to carefully evaluate and live out their role in all areas of life.
Family Shepherds is a book that every father needs and that every church will want as a resource for training the men in their congregations.
And the second book is Scott Oliphint's, God with Us: Divine Condescension and the Attributes of God. Description:
For the Christian mind seeking to understand the nature of God, one fundamental paradox poses a philosophical stumbling block: how can God be both a wholly independent, eternal being yet also an interactive force in the temporal plane of creation? The desire to harmonize God’s actions and his attributes has challenged laymen and scholars through the ages. In God With Us, K. Scott Oliphint finds an answer in the person of Jesus Christ incarnate—the manifestation of God and the cornerstone of creation.To be entered, since it's the month of November, let's talk about what we are thankful for. Just put anything in the comment section. What are you thankful for? I'll pick the four winners next Monday. Be sure to leave your email. (zachnielsenATgmailDOTcom)
Where other theological efforts view the study of Jesus as simply one branch of a systematic approach, Oliphint puts a primary focus on the understanding of the Son of God as both the quintessential revelation of God’s character and the explanation of how he relates to us. This book leads the reader to think biblically about who God is and how he in his eminence can condescend to us in our finite surroundings. Oliphint’s unique approach to the attributes of God will appeal to anyone desiring a biblical perspective on God’s nature, whether for academic reasons or personal advancement.

I have a 2 month old son and even in the midddle of the night, when he's crying & inconsolable, I'm incredibly thankful that God would entrust myself & my wife with such a gift. Then I'm immediately reminded to be thankful for a godly wife who cares for this baby without complaining and with joy. herringtonATlacollegeDOTedu
