god bless our relationship: The Mystery of Marriage 20th Anniversary Edition Mike Mason, 2005-06-02 Meditate on the Spiritual Significance of Marriage In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this Gold Medallion Award winner, Mike Mason goes on a poetic search to understand the wondrous dynamics of committed love. In highly readable, first-person style, Mason’s writing stimulates readers’ thoughts and prayers and propels couples to deeper intimacy. “A marriage is not a joining of two worlds,” says the author, “but an abandoning of two worlds in order that one new one might be formed.” Rich chapters on “Otherness,” “Vows,” “Intimacy,” “Sex,” “Submission,” and an all-new chapter on “Oneness” lift readers to view the eternal, spiritual nature of this faith-filled, “impossible,” wild—yet wonderful—frontier. “An outstanding achievement. 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 |

Learn how you can give and receive God’s love through the five love languages—words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. Gary writes, As we respond to the love of God and begin to identify the variety of languages He uses to speak to us, we soon learn to speak those languages ourselves. Whatever love language you prefer, may you find ever deeper satisfaction in using that language in your relationship with God and with other people. Contains personal reflection questions and a study guide for groups. |

god bless our relationship: The Solomon Syndrome Bob Beltz, 2020-09-01 A guide to finding the fulfillment God intended for you: “This is a book that can change your life.” —Bo Mitchell, Chaplain, Colorado Rockies, author of Grace Behind Bars The Solomon Syndrome helps us understand the futile ways in which men and women seek to have a happy life pursuing the culture’s ideas of how to be successful. The first part of the book serves as a tool to assess how one seeks to have their needs met—often in ways that never work. Solomon becomes a model of how all the pathways the contemporary world encourages us to pursue only get us onto the “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and leave us with a sense of meaninglessness. It then lays out a paradigm of how God designed a network of relationships to meet one’s deepest needs and make life meaningful and happy. The second part of The Solomon Syndrome takes each of the relationships discussed within and provides a tool for adjustment and enhancement of each area. Rather than being a book about marriage, or family, or serving, or a relationship with God, it shows how all relationships are designed to work together to create the life God intended for people to live. |
god bless our relationship: Keep Your Sexy Sacred Sabrina Universal Lawton, 2019-11-05 Keep Your Sexy Sacred bridges the perceived gap between the secular and sacred by providing an entirely new, completely compelling way of understanding God. God is both feminine and masculine. The root cause for the spiritual deficit experienced in the world is a lack of understanding of the feminine nature of God. Sabrina Universal Lawton exposes her own darkness to the light as she draws readers into the gripping vortex of her own evolution from lust to love. By raising readers’ Spiritual IQ, Keep Your Sexy Sacred serves as the springboard for healing the strained relationships between men and women, blacks and whites, pharmaceuticals and plant medicines—and it brings a necessary end to religious strife. When introduced to the feminine qualities of God, women evolve from being collectively viewed as mere objects of visual pleasure and physical stimuli and men evolve to understand that the necessary path to embodying their own God-power is to embrace the wisdom of the feminine energy—not only within women, but also within themselves. Jesus’ direct messages of love and non-judgement are the very foundations on which this anointed body of work stands, and men and women alike are certain to see the Bible like never before! With renewed 20/20 vision, Sabrina guides readers towards healed relationships, dismantling religious dogma, and demystifying the original sin through keeping their sexy sacred and evolving to a place of love. |

god bless our relationship: The Power of Money Kenneth Ulmer, 2011-07-28 Best-selling author, university professor, and beloved pastor of a mega-church in Los Angeles, Kenneth Ulmer exposes The Devil s Snare so you can stop the constant tug-of-war struggle between worshiping God and worrying about finances. We worry, worry, worry (about money), and yet we love Jesus. There is no need to worry. The Devil s Snare explains what lurks behind most Christians misunderstanding of money, riches, finances, and material possessions. Also revealed is the mysterious, insidious power that influences your desires for money and possessions. No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (Matthew 6:24 NKJV). Expertly and practically examined is the stronghold of mammon operating in the lives of many Christians, exposing its many distorted faces and lures. There is hope: You can jump out of the same old money rut of feeling like you re worth more than you re being paid or that you can never quite get ahead financially. You can understand the unseen force holding you back financially no matter how much money you earn or try to save. You can approach spending, earning, and saving in an entirely new way. God can break away The Devil's Snare from you today! |
