This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a unique, tongue-in-cheek approach, Moses of Old Testament fame lets us in on a well-kept secret: Adam and Eve had the same marital troubles the rest of us deal with! God Himself counseled the couple through the stages of marriage - from infatuation and courtship to old age and the death of a spouse. The lessons Adam and Eve learned can be applied to every marriage. As Moses says, "I'm sure you're dying to learn . . . the incredible secrets of success . . . and how the first married couple survived nine hundred and thirty years of marriage." Now, Moses reveals that God is upset with the state of marriage today. He tackles the affect these words from scripture have had: "and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." Knowing that both women and men have suffered in their relationships and happiness because of this "law," he gives Moses the charge to "give this and future generations the Spousal Golden Rule." Told with humorous asides by Moses, Even Adam and Eve Needed a Marriage Counselor: Moses Tells All, reveals how marriage can become what God desires it to be.

Download or read book Searching for Eden written by James Still and published by Dramatic Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As one critic wrote about Searching for Eden: "In the beginning--and throughout the play--here was laughter. And the audience found it good." More than a hundred years after Mark Twain wrote his own short stories about Adam and Eve, James Still combines those stories for Act One of Searching for Eden, and then imagines Adam and Eve in the present day for Act Two to create this completely original and contemporary play about the world's first love story. Act One takes place at the dawn of time in the Garden of Eden. In the imaginations of Still and Twain, the Garden of Eden is a place where the battle of the sexes begins, where language is deliciously invented, and where loneliness and heartbreak are poignantly discovered. After intermission, we jump forward to the present day--but Adam and Eve have only aged into their 40s and are dealing with middle age and the distractions of high-power careers. Adam has surprised Eve with this trip back to Eden (a last-minute vacation package Adam found on the Internet) as an anniversary gift. The "first couple" returns to present-day Eden (now an upscale resort simply called "E") in an attempt to recapture the primal passions of their youth. While Act One is about childhood, discovery, and new love--Act Two is about middle age, rediscovery and trying to make old love new again. At its heart, Searching for Eden is about the pleasures and terrors of knowing one person--and being known by that person--for a long, long time."--Publisher's website.

Book excerpt: Studies show that thousands of children are sexually abused in the US every year; most by someone they know and trust. Being abused by a known, trusted older person adds to a child's devastation of the pain and terror they experience. Adult victims of CSA have tried looking for answers within themselves or other people's theories, but have not found the hope and help they are seeking. That is because the only true and lasting hope, joy and peace are not found within us, but in God who created us. This book will point you directly to God's Word where you will find His comfort and peace.
Download or read book Solving Marriage Problems written by Jay E. Adams and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1986 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will help counselors understand and deal with the typical problems that arise in a marriage. The approach is to offer not merely solutions, but biblical solutions. Chapter by chapter, each problem that is brought into focus is addressed by Scripture, and a solution arising from Scripture is developed. Unless one understands what a biblical marriage is supposed to be, it is difficult to solve marriage problems. For that reason, Dr. Adams spends the first few chapters developing a biblical model. Then he treats many of the specific kinds of problems that typically arise : life patterns, priorities, children, sex roles, in-laws, and so forth. - Back cover.

Download or read book Marriage from the Heart written by Donald R. Downing and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage is God's idea. He has no bad ideas. He brought Eve to Adam, married them and they lived as husband and wife for over 900 years (Genesis 2:21-25 and 5:5). By this, we can conclude that divorce was not God's idea but Satan's idea, to destroy God's ideas, plans and purpose of marriage between a man and a woman. We seek to find the right person when the greater picture is to be the right person. Man sets the time for the wedding, but God sets the time for the marriage. There is a great difference between a wedding and a marriage. Many walk down the aisle to be wedded for all the wrong reasons. Saying "I do" and placing wedding rings upon fingers does not always mean they are married within their hearts. This book reveals that a man and a woman may marry, and yet not be a true husband and wife. It stresses the importance of friendship, courtship, engagement and being married from the heart. Introducing a revolutionary approach to the covenant of marriage, this book addresses commitment, romance, love, keeping a right heart, a sound mind and a pure relationship. Dr. Donald R. Downing is a heart physician and specialist from God to the body of Christ. He has written over 12 books, and considers Marriage from the Heart to be one of his most important writings. He believes the only way to defeat the high rate of divorce and separation is to restore romance to the relationship and to be truly married from the heart. FEATURING DRS. MELVIN AND ROBIN THORNHILL Melvin and Robin Thornhill are the founders and presidents of Destiny New Image Ministries. They have a combined 50 years of experience in family and marriage counseling.
Download or read book Marriage written by Pastor Jeremy Markle and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Word of God boldly declares that "if the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Ps. 11:3). It has long been understood, and in virtually every culture, that the family is the foundation upon which every society is built. As the family breaks down, so does society. Today, perhaps, as never before, God's plan for marriage and the family are under vicious attack, not just in America, but around the world . . . But even in the darkness of a sin-soaked and morally perverse culture, there is light! That blessed light offers hope to the sinner and the society in which he lives, for that light comes from the Word of God, the Bible. There we are told that the Lord Jesus Christ is the "true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." We are further told that "the light shineth in darkness..." (John 1:5, 9) In his book Marriage: A Covenant Before God, Pastor Jeremy Markle presents, in a beautiful, yet practical way, the Biblical Light that offers real hope for a happy, fulfilling Christian marriage. He basically presents in written form a complete marriage counseling class. Sad to say, but there are numbers of couples who marry with little or no marriage counseling from their pastor. In this book, couples like that will now have access to a biblical formula for a happy, Christian marriage. Pastor Markle deals with the intimacy of marriage in a very discreet and delicate manner. One of the things that makes this book unique is the set of serious, thought-provoking questions he asks at the end of each chapter with a place for the reader to write an answer. I highly recommend this book to every fundamental pastor for use as a marriage counseling "textbook." I urge every young person contemplating marriage to prayerfully and carefully read the advice that is presented in this much-needed work. Evangelist Ken Lynch, Taylors, SC, 2014
Download or read book The Wedding Confessions of a Very Married Man written by Clyde Shaw and published by Booktango. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage, love and sex are topics that garner a lot of attention from various writers, and rightly so, as these topics are juicy enough to satisfy any appetite for a good read. Weddings, invariably a tangible manifestation of Marriage, Love and Sex, are just as interesting. These events are a beast in and unto themselves and can provide enough drama to fill all the national libraries of the world. So although this book does touch on issues pertaining to sex, love and marriage, they are all tied to the wedding context. Therefore, the issues that happen before the wedding, during the wedding and unusual tips on how to preserve relationships are all dovetailed to produce these wedding confessions.This book will instigate discussions and arguments in book clubs, amongst the girls and amongst the guys, but don't take it too seriously; unless of course you want to.The writer speaks directly to the women, but, it's a book applicable to both genders especially if navigating a relationship or getting married and provides a bit of empowerment. It is a candid, funny, irreverent but very honest look at the wedding process and some of the situations that affect and influence this supposedly wonderful affair.If you're already married some of these stories will look ridiculously familiar while if you're about to get married, you'll pray that it's a complete work of outlandishly contrived fiction.

Download or read book The Marriage Builder written by Larry Crabb and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-08-08 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychologist Larry Crabb cuts to the heart of the biblical view of marriage: the 'one-flesh' relationship. He argues convincingly that the deepest needs of human personality -- security and significance -- ultimately cannot be satisfied by a marriage partner. We need to turn to the Lord, rather than our spouse, to satisfy our needs. This frees both partners for 'soul oneness,' a commitment to minister to our spouse's needs rather than manipulating them to meet our own needs. With 'soul oneness' comes renewed 'body oneness,' where couples enjoy sexual pleasure as an expression and outgrowth of a personal relationship. The Marriage Builder also identifies three building blocks essential to constructing marriage: the grace of God, true marriage commitment, and acceptance of one's mate. Now for the first time, discussion questions have been added to aid couples who want to come to deeper understanding of marriage. Helpful to counselors and laypersons alike, The Marriage Builder is for anyone who longs to transform marriage from trial to triumph.
