Rarely has a book aroused in me so much enthusiasm as has the combination of wisdom, depth, dignity, and glow that I find in these chapters.” -J.I. Packer “Absolutely exquisite. It reaches down deep into our innermost being, revealing, revitalizing, rewarding. A real classic.” -Gigi Graham Tchividjian “A drop everything book. Mason deals with the stunning paradoxes of the mystery, the problems, and the glories of marriage. I don’t need to read any other book on the subject.” -Elisabeth Elliot Story Behind the Book "Over the twenty years since its publication, many couples have told me that they’ve read my book aloud to each other. This always amazes me and gives me great joy. I’m also amazed that many single people have read it. Either way, my goal is for hearts to be warmed by the mystery of divine love. I want couples to enter into deeper intimacy by thinking together about the mystery of marriage—about how their love, besides being a gift of God, reflects the very love He has for Himself in the Trinity. For God is not a bachelor, and throughout the Bible marriage is a supreme picture of the nature of God’s love and of His kingdom. I want people who read my book to feel so soaked in these wonderful, divine mysteries that it deepens their reverence for marriage and inspires them to greater love." -Mike Mason

Download or read book From the Beginning written by Elliot J. Harrigan and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the beginning, God established the union between a man and a woman and declared that they were not two but one flesh. The book will examine the meaning of the one flesh concept and will examine the principle and the power of its function. It will establish the premise that marriage and a strong family structure are the best hope for the future of our children. This book will look at the extraordinary increase in out-of-wedlock births among single women in general, but with special emphasis on the African American woman. It will also examine the serious matter regarding the absence of men as fathers and husbands. It will show the mystery and complexity of two seedsthe seed of the serpent and seed of the woman (Gen. 3:15)and how it relates to marriage today. It will examine the circumstance in scripture when God was so angry and disappointed that he said, I am sorry I ever made man upon the earth and then destroyed all human kind, saving one man, one family. The book will attempt to show that marriage and family is Gods grand stage through which his blessings flow from generation to generation and that every great work God has done for the good of mankind was executed through the family. And finally, it will establish the fact that marriage is a continuum moving from the beginning of time and into all eternity.
