Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a war going on in the Christian realm, and conservative churches across the nation choose to ignore and avoid; hoping the turmoil will subside, if we just pretend it does not exist. Christian Divorce Wars is a book written from the heart of a woman, once ripped apart by the ravishing of a divorce war that left her and her children trapped in a dug out of despair. Although not a biographical portrait, the book gives the reader a glimpse of the hurt and desperation of the wounded soldiers caught in this often overlooked war, which rages within the walls of the sophisticated church. The reader is taken on a journey from Genesis to Revelation, and given an introspective view of Gods most treasured creation (man and woman), and why he looks with tear swelled eyes on parental disputes, and the children caught in the crossfire. The reader is also given a scope of how divorce has corralled its way through Gods Bride (the church), leaving a trail of emotionally dead soldiers in its tracks. The book is chock-full with research that brings one to the conclusion, that divorce is an epidemic, easily spread as the church continues to overlook the signs and symptoms. The book reveals the Biblical counselor as the assistant necessary to bring the divorce war to a screeching halt, when sought after by soldiers in the heat of the battle. The reader is given a panoramic view of God as healer, forgiver and friend, who while looking at the divorce decree, slams the gavel of His Word declaring Divorce Denied!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book walks each of us through the reality checks we need in order to have the marriage we want!” —Shaunti Feldhahn, social researcher and best-selling author of For Women Only In today’s workplace, women are often rewarded for having type A personalities: driven, demanding, ambitious, and strong. Yet when it comes to their marriages, those same traits can backfire. After all, no one goes into marriage hoping for a promotion. What is a wife to do? April Cassidy knows this struggle firsthand. She thought she was a great Christian wife and begged God to make her passive husband into a more loving, involved, godly leader. Instead, God opened her eyes to changes that she needed to make, such as laying down her desire for control and offering genuine, unconditional respect—not just love—to her husband. Cassidy’s conclusions may be as startling to readers as they were to her, but The Peaceful Wife shares how she and many others have learned to reorient their lives to biblical commands—resulting in healthier, happier marriages. In the end, you’ll find The Peaceful Wife a powerful path to God’s design for women to live in full submission to Christ as Lord.

Download or read book Divorce and Remarriage written by Virginia King and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So many times we ask the question “Why am I remaining Single and my partner was unfaithful, that is not fair to me. At this point we refer to Matthew 19:1-9, Is Divorce Always Wrong? Women in Jesus time had little legal protection, can a man divorce his wife for any reason. They could be divorced simply for displeasing their husbands. Jesus teaching here is that divorce is contrary to the will of God and his intentions is that marriage last a lifetime. Jesus acknowledged that in the case of adultery, divorce may be a sad necessity when one partner refuses to stop his or her unfaithfulness. This not the Bibles’ last word on divorce, however; does God permit divorce? Paul later suggested another possible scenario for divorce: when a believer is deserted by an unbelieving spouse (1 Cor. 7:15).

Download or read book The War on Sex written by Chad Denton and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From earliest times, sex has fascinated and repulsed society in equal measure. In an effort to untangle Western society's complex relationship with the realities of sex, this provocative volume explores the ways in which governments, religious leaders and cultures in Europe tried to regulate sex and sexuality throughout history. From the sacred texts of ancient Israel to the slums of 19th century Britain, this book explores political, legal and cultural controls on consensual sex and the individuals and movements that resisted them. Topics range from prostitution and homosexuality to marriage, contraception and abortion. While traditional narrative holds that Europe alternated between sexual freedom and oppression through the Victorian age, this work reveals that the real story of how sex was regulated--and how people defied regulation--is not so clear cut.
