Book excerpt: Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

Download or read book Finally I Do Again written by ,Marq and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-04-22 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many of you, this year started out with great promise for prosperity. An international health crisis was not in anyone's plan. This was to be a year of grinding, promoting, and launching, as well as further defining our message of not giving up on the possibilities of first marriage, second chances, and endless love. Instead, we were offered a much-needed chance to slow down and talk to each other about our story and purpose. What did God really have in mind for our union when we said, "I do...again"? My first marriage? My husband's second? What aspects of our relationship did we still need to strengthen? We never want to present to readers that we are a perfect pair or the ultimate power couple. We always want to be transparent with ourselves first and honest with those we encounter. Marriage is hard work but worth the investment. Our story, thus far, has taught us many lessons and personal observations that we want to add to the ongoing conversation about finding happiness and contentment. No, we are not marriage experts. We are humble students of marriage. Sometimes our outcomes are funny and, in other instances, quite poignant. As we emerge from quarantine, we pray that our journey finds its way to your reading nook, date night, study group or book club. Most of all, we hope our internal work makes an enjoyable read, causes you to giggle a lot, creates a tear or two, and becomes a source of inspiration to tackle the "finallys" and "agains" in your own relationships, whatever they may be. -Marq and Bev Redmond

Book excerpt: When all seems lost, where can you find hope? Katherine and Jay Wolf married right after college and sought adventure far from home in Los Angeles, CA. As they pursued their dreams--she as a model and he as a lawyer--they planted their lives in the city and their church community. Their son, James, came along unexpectedly in the fall of 2007, and just six months later, everything changed in a moment for this young family. On April 21, 2008, as James slept in the other room, Katherine collapsed, suffering a massive brain stem stroke without warning. Miraculously, Jay came home in time and called for help. Katherine was immediately rushed into brain surgery, though her chance of survival was slim. As the sun rose the next morning, the surgeon proclaimed that Katherine had survived the removal of part of her brain, though her future recovery was uncertain. Yet in that moment, there was a spark of hope. Through forty days on life support in the ICU and nearly two years in full-time brain rehab, that small spark of hope was fanned into flame. Hope Heals documents Katherine and Jay's journey as they struggled to regain Katherine's quality of life and as she relearned to talk, eat, and walk. As Katherine returned home with a severely disabled body but a completely renewed purpose, she and Jay committed to celebrating this gift of a second chance by embracing life fully, even though that life looked very different than they could have ever imagined. As you uncover Katherine and Jay's remarkable story, you'll be encouraged to: Find lasting hope in the midst of struggle Embrace the unexpected Welcome God's miracles into your everyday life In the midst of continuing hardships, both in body and mind, Katherine and Jay found what we all long to find: a hope that heals the most broken place--our souls. Let Hope Heals be your guide along the way. Praise for Hope Heals: "As I read this book, tears streamed from my eyes even as joy flooded my heart. Jay and Katherine are a raw yet refreshing testimony to the unshakable trustworthiness of God amidst the unimaginable trials of life. This book reminds all of us where hope can be found in a world where none of us know what the next day holds." --David Platt, author of the New York Times bestseller Radical and president of the International Mission Board "Hope Heals is a beautiful, true story that illustrates the love and protection God has for us even in the darkest times of our lives. Katherine and Jay's dedication to each other and the Lord through their most devastating season is inspiring. This book will help your heart believe that He sees, He knows, He cares, and He is still working miracles today!" --Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries
