For This Reason Gods Word And Your Marriage
$12.95Add to cartJesus tells us that a holy love is sacrificial, forgiving, and unconditional. He knew that loving like this would not be easy, but he did promise us that if we pursued his love, our hearts, our minds, and our spirits would be transformed. This is the essence of relationship: a love that changes everything.
It should come as no surprise, then, that when we enter into a marriage covenant, our greatest commandment is to love one another. But how do we put that love into action when life gets tough? How do we remember to sacrifice for one another when the outside world demands everything we’ve got? According to Gary Fehring, it always comes down to Jesus.
In just nine short devotionals, For This Reason challenges new and experienced marriages with holy scripture, reminding couples that a marriage centered on godly principles always strives for contentment, surrender, sacrifice, forgiveness, and humility. Author Gary Fehring’s poignant questions at the end of each devotional have been carefully crafted to expose the fears and dreams of each reader, and he always points back to prayer as a way to navigate our way through the paths of life. For This Reason is a Jesus-centered devotional with a timeless simplicity and relevance that will consistently encourage and challenge couples throughout any phase in their marriages.

Good Man Is Hard To Find
$13.49Add to cartThank you for your interest in A Good Man is Hard to Find, Even in the Church. I believe this book will help you with the task of finding a suitable mate and the wait that comes along with it. This book takes a few-holds-barred approach in sharing the perks and quirks of dating and will help people avoid unnecessary drama in their spouse-finding/keeping efforts. What makes this book unique is its approach – pure honesty! Things I did not want to include, I included just to make my point clear through example. Experience is a good teacher, but I don’t believe we have to learn from our own experiences. We can also learn from the experiences of others. Why burn yourself on the stove when Momma can already tell you that the stove is hot? I dare to expose the truth since it’s the truth that sets us free!

Are You Ready For True Love
$12.49Add to cartDiscern between relational fits, misfits, and counterfeits. There are a lot more counterfeit men than money. About the only exercise some guys get is running out of money and after women. Brains are what a man looks for in a wife, after not using any in selecting one. If a man tells a woman she’s beautiful, she’ll overlook most of his other lies. Courtship is that period during which the female decides whether or not she can do any better. The trouble with marriage is not the institution. It’s the personnel. One reason why so many marriages are failing is that so many inexperienced people get into them. Avoid cupidity meeting stupidity. It is better to be single and happy than married and miserable. Most girls seem to marry men like their fathers. Maybe that’s the reason so many mothers cry at weddings. Romance often begins by a splashing waterfall and ends over a leaky sink. For many an adult education begins with marriage. Don’t get into the sea of matrimony on a wave of enthusiasm. Beyond love at first sight, get divine insight. Learn a lot before tying the knot.

2. Preparing Sons For Courtship
3. Preparing Daughters For Courtship
4. Culmination Of Courtship
5. Details Of CourtshipAdditional Info
The modern dating system is bankrupt. It does not train young people to form a relationship but rather to form a series of relationships, hardening themselves to all but the current one. Recreational dating encourages emotional attachments without convenantal fences and makes a joke of a father’s authority. The disrespect children have for their fathers in this area is an echo of the disrespect fathers have for their own office.Biblical courtship provides a wonderful freedom. It involves familial wisdom and godly protection. Grounded upon the involved authority of the father, courtship delights in its public connection to the lives of families. Sexual purity is a great inheritance for a marriage, and part of the fathers job is to guarantee to protect that heritage.
Biblical courtship is a humble affront to the sterility of modern relationships. And as a new generation rejoices in this ancient wisdom, the current waves of broken relationships will begin to recede.

Preparing For Your Marriage
$18.99Add to cartMore than 25 percent of our marriages end in the tragedy of divorce, and over 72 percent of all teen-age marriages terminate in the courtroom. An undetermined number of young people are so disillusioned with marriage that it is no longer even a desirable option for them, and for many, marriage is really nothing more than an “armed truce.” What are the reasons? Is there an answer? William McRae feels that most couples enter into marriage unprepared. Their expectations are unrealistic, their roles are undeveloped, their responsibilities are unknown, and their goals are undetermined. Because of this every couple married by Pastor McRae must be willing to participate in a premarriage study program. The material that has been developed and used over these years is essentially the content of this book.
