Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing a Successful Marriage through Faith tells the story of marriage. The book has many facets; first, it describes the institution of marriage as it was meant to be, between a man and a woman. It tells of their relationship with the Creator, which is the bond that holds the marriage together. Second, it tells of choices made by a man and a woman that break the marriage bond. Finally, it is a story about grace and redemption, which is a free gift offered by God (through faith) to restore the bond. I refer to this book as a marriage-faith help book, a book to assist couples to protect their marriage vows, as well as to cultivate their marriage in producing the fruit of the Spirit. Refining a marriage through faith requires not only having a personal relationship with God and allowing him to guide ones decision making but also being obedient to Gods instructions. Growing a Successful Marriage through Faith not only represents an individual spiritual journey, in which God redeems a person through a personal relationship with him, but it also represents a spiritual marital journey where God redeems the marriage and restores the marriage bond through the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit bonds a marriage together, the marriage is in a state of holy matrimony. The book Growing a Successful Marriage through Faith tells of my personal life story, and possibly, there are parts of the story that others may be able to relate to. I think this book is unique in that it combines a life situation caused by personal choices with what the Bible says about the situation then reinforces the lesson through the essence of visuals in nature. In this case, the visuals are photographs of an okra plant that grew between the blocks of concrete. Questions are presented to the reader throughout the text not only to engage the reader but also to reinforce that the solutions to relationship issues require self-examination and spiritual solution. The answers that you give may be reflections of your problem-solving approach, whether spiritual or otherwise. In the Bible, Jesus often used parables that involved nature, and he performed miracles. Both mediums were used to grow faith. The book also serves to encourage those who are going through personal trials in their lives, whether marriage, health problems, or any other difficult life circumstance, to study the Word of God and pray that God sends the Holy Spirit to move in their lives. When your relationship with God becomes close-up and personal, he gives you spiritual discernment (that is, the wisdom to put your lifes circumstances in their proper perspective), and he gives you inner peace.

Book excerpt: Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.

Perfect for single adults, engaged couples, and married couples alike, Craig and his wife, Amy, show you how to conquer the odds and find the joy, passion, and strength of a marriage built by God. Craig and Amy open their hearts, share personal experiences, and walk you through five powerful commitments you can make to fail-proof your marriage: Seek God Fight fair Have fun Stay pure Never give up If you earnestly choose to do all five of these things, you will discover a richer, deeper, more authentic marriage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divorce is not the biggest threat to marriage. Discouragement is. You’ve probably heard the grim facts: Half of all marriages end in divorce. The divorce rate inside the church is the same as outside. Most marriages are just holding on. But what if these “facts” are actually myths? In The Good News About Marriage, best-selling author Shaunti Feldhahn presents groundbreaking research that reveals the shocking, incredibly inspiring truth: · The actual divorce rate has never gotten close to 50 percent. · Those who attend church regularly have a significantly lower divorce rate than those who don’t. · Most marriages are happy. · Simple changes make a big difference in most marriage problems. · Most remarriages succeed. For too long, our confidence in marriage has been undermined by persistent misunderstandings and imperfect data. This landmark book will radically change how we think and talk about marriage—and what we can dare to hope from it. “Shaunti takes aim at marriage myths that have spread like a cancer through our culture–myths that have become self-fulfilling prophecies. This book is packed with game-changing revelations. Like this one: Not only are most people staying married, they are happy in their marriages!” –Emerson Eggerichs, best-selling author of Love and Respect
