Book Of The Month For March 2014: Your Marriage by God's Design
"Your Marriage by God's Design" by Stiegemeyer, Scott and Julie
Overview
How are Christians to start, or keep, marriage as God intends? How are God's children to respond when the picture of Christ and His Church is portrayed as a cultural institution open to anyone’s interpretation and traditional marriage is openly mocked as irrelevant? In Your Marriage by God’s Design, authors Scott and Julie Stiegemeyer show that God has not left us directionless but instead has a beautiful plan and purpose—His design—for marriage, for your marriage.
Each chapter is filled with straightforward biblical insights, calling for the restoration of the purpose and dignity of marriage among Christians. God is the author of marriage and has a vision for your marriage. Examples and end-of-chapter articles provide additional support for those who are married, or preparing for marriage, and those who just want to explore. Your Marriage by God’s Design upholds the gracious gifts God gives as readers learn and grow in the understanding and application of the Bible’s teachings concerning married living.

Julie Stiegemeyer is a regular author for CPH having written several children’s books, Sunday School and curriculum pieces, and regularly returning as a contributor to Portals of Prayer.
