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.

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.

This book treats canonical issues about marriage - especially matrimonial impediments. The author is fully aware that some people feel a little uneasy when they hear Canon Law. This is because there is the general perception that it is rigid and restrictive. This book will debunk all the anxiety and fears people have about Canon Law. The topics have been treated in a way that simplifies its understanding without watering it down. It is Canon Law made simple. This means that, anyone who is able to read and write should be able to read this book, fully understand it, and, probably, develop the taste for more Canon Law. Priests are urged to have copies of this book. This is because many of the issues they deal with in their pastoral situations have to do with marriage and family life. This book, then, will equip them to understand some basic canonical topics, so that they can in turn use this knowledge to serve the People of God. The author also encourages all Catholics, especially, Catholic professionals, to get a copy of this book. We do not want Catholic professionals in only secular knowledge, but professionals in Catholic affairs as well. Every priest will tell you how delighted they are when they see their lay people sharing the Catholic faith with others. And who are those who can do it better than Catholic professionals? Marriage counsellors, those preparing for marriage, and those who intend to marry must also make sure they get a copy of this book. It will surely prepare them to appreciate Holy Matrimony as taught in the Catholic Church.

Many Christian women today classify their marriage as difficult or challenging. This is accompanied by feelings of shame, fear, disappointment, and disillusionment that hover over their lives.

Join Ann on the journey to explore what the Bible says to those who truly desire to rise above their circumstances and overcome every challenge to become godly wives.
