The very Biblical doctrine that revealed the redemption of humankind through Christ cannot be used to justify oppression of the women. The husband being the head of the home must model the headship of Christ who is the head of the Church. Christ headship exemplifies selfless sacrifice to bring redemption to all humankind. Christ leadership does not coerce or dominate people but appeal to the willing mind to come and be filled with the water of life. The unequal treatment of women transcends geographical location and economic status. Right from the ancient age, female have experienced unequal treatment compared to their male counterpart. God created humankind to dominate, subdue the earth, to be fruitful and multiply but not to control and oppress another human being. Any treatment that violates, dehumanizes, oppresses, intimates, controls, subjugates another human being whether in relationship or society in any form or shape should be challenged. Women are to be empowered to speak out because speaking out has significantly reduced the abuse and subjugation of women. The purpose of this book is to redefine the Christian doctrine of the husband headship based on the example of Christ headship. Christ's headship models love, care and sacrifice. The Biblical doctrine of husband headship cannot be arbitrarily interpreted outside of Christ headship of the Church, which is the foundation of all Christian belief. This book offers wealth of wisdom to the understanding of the truth of the husband headship in the home. The pastoral care giver needs a clear understanding of husband headship to dispense the right counsel. The Church is the bride of Jesus as the wife is to her husband and Christ should be the example of all Christian conduct.

En, som bare er der er min livshistorie, og som titlen påpeger, er det sådan, jeg altid har følt mig. Vi var ni søskende, voksede op med en fordrukken og voldelig far, vores mor forsøgte altid at skåne os.Som seksårig blev jeg seksuelt misbrugt af en af min fars drukvenner, som havde fået lov til at tage mig med hjem.Min seksuelle karriere begyndte allerede, da jeg var 13 år, og som 15-årig blev jeg gravid med en albaner, måtte opgive skolen og valgte at være enlig mor.Jeg føder en søn med medfødt hjertefejl, som lægerne kæmpede for at holde i live. Min søn, Jimmy, blev døbt kort efter fødslen, og fire hjerteoperationer måtte han igennem.Selv udviklede jeg også et alkoholmisbrug, og alle mine forhold og mit ægteskab var druk, hash og vold.Det forhindrede mig ikke i, at jeg 13 år senere fødte to døtre.Fra 1993 blev jeg alenemor, min søn var 14 år og syg, mine piger var meget små, min ældste datter var et år, og min yngste lå stadig i maven.

Claus er omkring de 40 år. Han bor i den lille by i Nordjylland, hvor han er født, og hvor alle på godt og ondt kender hinanden. Claus har et udmærket arbejde på en af de lokale virksomheder. Han er gift med Linda, som har medbragt datteren Beatrix (Bea) fra et tidligere ægteskab. Familien bor i et nyere parcelhuskvarter i byens udkant. I sin fritid spiller Claus lidt oldboysfodbold med gamle venner, og han bruger også noget tid på at istandsætte sin mors sommerhus ude ved havet, sådan at det kan udlejes til turister.Alt i alt en rar og fredelig tilværelse, hvis ikke det var for Bea, som nu er 13 år og efterhånden meget dyr i drift. Beas veninder, som er ”bedre folks” børn, dyrker ridesport på højt plan og har egne heste. Bea vil også have en hest. Det er simpelthen nødvendigt.Claus forstår nok ikke helt, hvor meget der står på spil, så han nægter at købe en hest til Bea. Sådan en koster 100.000 kr. Det har familien slet ikke råd til.Dog Bea må og skal have sin hest. Linda støtter datteren, og inden Claus opfatter, hvad der sker, bliver han arresteret og sigtet for incest og forsøg på mordbrand. At han undgår at blive dømt, skyldes primært en tilfældighed. Dog, så billigt slipper Claus heller ikke. Ægteskabet med Linda går i stykker, han mister sit arbejde, hans mor dør, og han får byens fordømmelse at føle. Den gode, trygge tilværelse forvandles til en ond drøm, som driver ham ud i et mislykket selvmordsforsøg. Jeg, Claus er en slags ”omvendt” krimi, hvor offer og gerningsmand bytter roller. En meget anderledes bog, der ligesom Birgit Chemnitz Kristiansens forrige roman, Kold januar, giver bidrag til nogle af tidens samfundsdebatter. Det skal i øvrigt nævnes, at romanen er inspireret af en episode fra det virkelige liv.

And how do we think about dating and, ultimately, marriage?

Dette er historien om to kinesiske søstres skæbne og drømmen om Amerika.Den 21-årige Pearl og hendes yngre søster May lever et ubekymret liv i 1930’ernes Shanghai – Asiens Paris. De har tilegnet sig en vestlig moderne livsstil, hvor det er slut med indsnørede fødder. Men selv om pigerne lever et frit liv, er Kina stadig et patriarkalsk samfund. tDa faren mister sin rickshaw forretning pga. spillegæld, er det slut med det sorgløse liv. For at kunne indfri spillegælden "sælges" pigerne til ægteskab med tilsyneladende velstående kinesiske udvandrere i Los Angeles, men snart falder de japanske bomber over Shanghai, og alt er kaos. Søstrene og deres mor begiver sig ud på de støvede landeveje på flugt fra ægteskab og undertrykkelse, men kun for at møde en værre skæbne. Søstrene beslutter sig til sidst for at rejse til Amerika over til ægtemændene. Men vel ankommet til Angel Island – San Franciscos modtagelsessted for immigranter – venter nye prøvelser. Da søstrene endelig genforenes med deres mænd og svigerfamilie i filmbyen, er skuffelsen stor. Pigerne må kæmpe for deres plads i familien, arbejde hårdt i byens Chinatown og samtidig stå imod diskriminationen, der hersker uden for hjemmets fire vægge. Anden Verdenskrig, angrebet mod Pearl Harbor og den amerikanske modstand mod det kommunistiske styre i Kina gør ikke livet nemmere for de kinesiske immigranter i USA.

God created us to be loved and to love. He couldn't have done any differently because that's His nature: "God is love" (1 John 4:8, 16). But in this fallen world, our tendency is to drift away from Him and His nature. While God's love for us is steadfast, we often resist receiving and giving love the way that God intended. Sadly, many of us have forgotten what true love is and what it feels like. True love - often referred to as unconditional love - blossoms when the giver recognizes the inherent value of the recipient of their love. Thus, it should come as no surprise that God lavishes each of us with unparalleled unconditional love. It's no surprise because who knows our inherent value better than God Himself? After all, He created us! God does not withhold His love, waiting for us to believe in Him or otherwise "get our act together." God loves us throughout our journey. Being loved despite our flaws is the very essence of what it means to be loved unconditionally. What does this feel like? ... There are infinite manifestations, but all are synonyms of unadulterated joy. And how do we respond? Do we accept God's love for ourselves, and then conveniently disregard the inherent value of everyone else? I sincerely hope not, as Jesus teaches, "Love one another as I have loved you" (John 15:12). The focus of From Love Zero to Love 360 is to survey the breathtaking topography of God's nature to love each of us, and to encourage us likewise to recognize the inherent value of every person, not the least of whom is ourselves.

We do not have a divorce problem in our society; we have a problem of people marrying for the wrong reasons and not understanding the meaning of love. This book shares what the author has learned from the Bible about love and marriage. It is the story of turning marriage failure into marital joy by doing marriage God's way. Frederick was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was raised as an only child in a culturally Christian extended family. He currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife, Janet Love. At the age of fifty-one, Jesus of Nazareth came into his life, freeing him from the chains of sin and the fear of death. Having failed twice at marriage, he turned to the Bible to learn how to succeed. So far it seems to have worked for twenty-seven years. Frederick has led a weekly men's Bible study for more than fifteen years and has written this book to share what he has learned along the narrow path from Jesus.

Filled with practical stories, current research on connection and attachment, and enduring biblical principles, this book will be of huge help to any couple dealing with the kinds of differences that can build up--or break down--a marriage.
