Read this map that will navigate you through the rough currents of marriage to keep you afloat through the inevitable tidal waves designed to bring you together as one. Marriage is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. It can make your life on earth heaven or hell.

Therefore, make the investment in learning how not to waste time doing things that will cost you precious time, only to find that all the answers reside in the Creator of marriage, who is the Father of time. So, here's a book designed to answer essential questions for you after and before you say, "I do."

"Where are all the guys? Where did they all go? If you and your friends are anything like the other young Christian women I know, your chief complaint has to do with the paucity of guys. And then, when you are looking at the handful of guys who do hang around in your church community, you think to yourself, as the saying goes, 'The odds may be good, but the goods are odd.' Heterosexual relationships are always cross-cultural, bilingual situations. You come from different worlds. He's a guy. They do things differently over there." ~ from the bookDouglas Wilson offers the simple, direct advice he's been giving young women for decades on how to notice and attract the right kind of man. You shouldn't feel ashamed about wanting a guy who is strong and capable of leading you. In fact, you should want someone who has the backbone to lovingly take charge even when you don't want to be led. Beyond that, it's best not to overcomplicate things. Guard your heart, keep your imagination under control ("I always thought I would marry someone who..."), and trust that God will take care of everything else.

"When I entered the church sanctuary, I expected bright, beaming faces, joining me in the joy that those lonely years were now a distant memory. Instead, I was greeted with a host of red, puffy eyes. Tissues were everywhere as I passed each row.

Growing up in a Christian church, the most prevalent consistent teaching about dating and sex is that it is a sin to have sex outside of marriage. Where does this come from? Is it actually in the Bible? While few actually live this, most are taught that both males and females are supposed to remain virgins until marriage. After decades of living with this guideline as it was taught to him, the author undertook an exhaustive Bible study to look for more concrete answers than he could find in church services and small groups. Digging past the surface statements and catch phrases uttered by pastors and Bible study leaders, the author has uncovered a shocking discovery that may change everything you think you know about this fundamental teaching.

The letter of First Peter was written to persecuted Christians scattered throughout the Roman Empire. It was meant to both encourage and instruct them on how to live as pilgrims in a hostile world. This message is still relevant today. Christ declared that in the end times believers would be hated by "all nations" because of him (Matthew 24:9). With the continuing culture shift, animosity and persecution towards Christians is increasing at an alarming rate. Over 400 Christians are martyred every day, and more saints have died for the faith in the last century than all the previous combined. The words of First Peter are a message of hope, desperately needed to encourage and prepare the Church for what lies ahead. Let's journey through Peter's letter together with the aid of the Bible Teacher's Guide. "Expositional, theological, and candidly practical! I highly recommend the Bible Teacher's Guide for anyone seeking to better understand or teach God's Word." -Dr. Young-Gil Kim, Founding President of Handong Global University "This study could be used by pastors as an aid for sermon preparation, by small group leaders, or by any believer who wants to understand and apply God's Word personally. I can't imagine any student of Scripture not benefiting by this work." -Steven J. Cole, Pastor, Flagstaff Christian Fellowship, Author of the Riches from the Word series

The Step-By-Step Manual for a Lasting, Loving Relationship.

We love to think that the face of God is turned toward us. We want Him looking down on us, protecting us, blessing us, and doing things for us. If you think God looks good from the front, wait until you see that Glory from the back. As well, what do we look like to others, all the way around? What kind of glory do you have on you, and will that attract a Kingdom spouse?

This book disagrees about the traditional viewpoint of the Christian wife's role at home, and advocates married women to work and have their own careers. This viewpoint is based on careful exegesis of the relevant biblical scriptures throughout the Bible. It also proposes that fathers rather than mothers shall be primary teachers for their children at home. In addition, this book also suggests that mothers should not take on the responsibility for homeschooling unless they are called to teach young people at home. Hope these refreshed biblical interpretations from a female Calvinist can shed new light on Christian women's roles and virtue at home.

Love. Breakup. Pain. Repeat. Love is a fire, and playing with fire gets you burned. While the Bible provides answers to singles' questions concerning love, marriage, and sex, those answers are found in a book of the Bible that singles are regularly told to avoid. The Song of Solomon, contrary to popular opinion, primarily addresses singles (not married couples), teaching them wisdom so they can love successfully. It teaches that love is a fire, a fire best left unlit until the appropriate time. King Solomon loved many women whom he thought would bring him peace and pleasure. Instead, his attempts at love brought him pain and misery. He thought he could play with fire, but he got burned. Reflecting on his failures, he wrote his best song, the Song of Songs, to unmarried men and women and taught God's design for love so they can love successfully. Instead of listing "thou shalt not" commands concerning sex, Solomon shapes the affections of singles so that they want to love God's way. Song of Songs for Singles helps unmarried people understand and apply the wisdom of Song of Songs, preparing them to find love and less likely to get burned.While the Bible teaches several "thou shalt not" commands concerning sexuality, the Song of Songs shapes the affections of singles so that they want to love God's way. Song of Songs for Singles seeks to emulate this design, cultivating the readers' affections for God's design for love. We do the things that we love. Singles love the wrong things. Too often, the church only preaches the "thou shalt not" sexual messages of the Bible. As C.S. Lewis chided in Abolition of Man, we chop down forests but fail to irrigate deserts. The Song of Songs satiates the unmarried Christian's thirst and equips them with the wisdom to love successfully.

MARRIAGE IS SIMPLE"Get married," they said. "Have a family," they said. I spent my entire childhood with marriage being paraded as a requirement to be considered successful, respected, and a productive member of society. But those same people never talked about WHY. This book addresses the question of why getting married is so important, specifically to the right person -- even at a time when society has normalized divorce. Staying married for all the right reasons is powerful and liberating. When things get tough or boring, getting back to the basics of marriage is like getting to the root of a tree. It is what keeps you grounded and growing, ready to deal with life's storms.

Tired of unfriendly friends, past acquaintances who just can't seem to forget about you and move on with their own lives? Some are not so innocent and may be actively pursuing you or wishing evil on you; these are human persecutors. Check yourself to make sure you're not leading them on, not soul tied to them; make sure you're not carrying a lot of junk in your trunk. If you're clear, then pray to God that they will forget about you and lose your location.

Love as a virtue encapsulates all other virtues in life, and we all have it in us. However, we can choose either to embrace this innate virtue and share it with the world around us or suppress it. You can't say you've lived if you haven't loved or been loved. Everyone is a product of love or has been in love or has loved, but not everyone can say they have loved perfectly. In Love: The Only Virtue, author Dr. Jude Dike offers insight and perspective into the virtue of love. He communicates that to love perfectly is to transcend the hate, differences, and judgmental opinions both internally and externally to a higher realm of harmony with your source, self, and the society. To love perfectly is to embrace what we have in common with our source, society, and surroundings and work toward understanding the uncommon territories. In this guide, Dike presents familiar views but also steps into unfamiliar terrain about loving perfectly. He communicates that love is the foundational and all-encompassing virtue. You need love for the other virtues to function, and they cannot exist in their perfect state without love.
