Marriage is under attack! ... of course, this might be a shock to you if you weren't living in a culture in which 40% of people think marriage is a useless tradition—even with all the evidence that broken families are ravaged financially, physically, and emotionally by divorce.
Yet God's Word is clear that his institution, created at the beginning of time, is the foundation of a healthy family and nation. Ultimately, marriage is God's idea.
So what are believers to do in an age of rapid-fire marriages, rampant divorce, and tricky remarriages— individually and as a church? Pastor Doug Batchelor tackles these sensitive issues with tact and biblical clarity in an effort to help broken marriages mend, keep strong marriages together, and enable those dealing with divorce and remarriage to keep their lives in a biblical framework.
Sure, perhaps it's a little strange that a person named "Batchelor" has written a book about marriage, but if you're struggling through a troubled marriage and divorce, you don't want to skip this counsel.
Very good information based on God’s Word. Much emphasis on sanctity of marriage and negative results of divorce. Very good principles regarding how the local church should handle divorce and remarriage. God’s can forgive but consequences are not thereby removed. Full of practical counsel, Biblical applications, no dilution of God’s Word, and hope for the repentant sinner.
This book answered many questions that I had concerning the three subjects that our society faces in our everyday lives; marriage, divorce and remarriage. Personally I find that our society today takes both marriage and divorce too lightly. These are very serious subjects according to the bible and this book sets the record straight!
Most Church's hide under the rug the "issues" with divorce folks. They don't want to deal with the sticky situations of Marriage of divorcees and Divorce. I found the right Bible quotes to use when counseling members on these issues. D.B's at his best for sure!!
I had a question about being married to someone's whose spouse is still living. How you can ask for forgiveness when you are still married to them. It answered that question as well as it can be answered. It gave me a sigh of relief. I liked the book
I had been struggling on whether there was Biblical grounds on remarriage. I would say that by reading this book gave some clarification on what I was feeling and saw that in the Bible there are circumstances on being able to remarry. Thanks! May God Bless You!
My husband and I are scheduled to present a talk about the 7th commandment. This book has given us more "punch" in presenting God's ideas for a meaningful and lasting marriage.
Received the book in short order. I am a newlywed and need all the help possible! I haven't finished reading but I am enjoying and learning from what I have thus far read! Don't really know if I will be compensated for the review. It is not necessary...just get the book if you are serious about maintaining a good marriage.
