review: Editorial Reviews Review " Marriage God's Way is athorough and comprehensive treatment of marriage. The reader who works his waythrough this volume will be richly rewarded."-- Tedd Tripp --Husband of forty-eight years, pastor, speaker, andauthor of Shepherding a Child's Heart "Most Christian books on marriage today don't have much Scripture inthem. Not this one. It is saturated with the Word of God. If you want a bookthat is built on the foundation of exposition of Scripture, this book is foryou. While Scott offers many practical insights, they are all grounded in thebiblical text using biblical language. MarriageGod's Way will fill your mind with the pure and perfect Word of God. Thisis what every marriage needs."-- Scott T.Brown --Husband of thirty-one years, director of the National Center forFamily-Integrated Churches, pastor, speaker, and author of A Theologyof the Family "With the divorce rate for believers lagging just behind that ofunbelievers, there is no shortage of Christian books on marriage.Unfortunately, few of these books offer lasting effectiveness, because theylack the authority and wisdom of Scripture. Most merely weave together tidbitsof human wisdom and pop ideas spiced up with random verses. Pastor Scottunderstands that strong marriages need more than tidbits of wisdom and popideas. He knows that as the Designer of marriage, God gave us His Word as anowner's manual. Therefore, in MarriageGod's Way , Scott draws upon theauthority and wisdom of the Bible to help every couple find the passion,intimacy, and romance that God intended."-- RebBradley --Husband of thirty-eight years, pastor, speaker, founder of FamilyMinistries, and author of Child TrainingTips "Marriage God's Way is a book that will greatly bless your marriage. Pastor Scott combines personal experience, pastoral care, and above all, clear teaching from Scripture to guide his readers into a proper understanding of what God intends for their marriage. In a world where marriage is often considered a hopeless attempt at fleeting happiness, a book like this will give the Christian couple biblical perspective, good counsel, and hope for their future together. If you are looking for help to restore your struggling marriage, or you just need a good reminder of why godly marriages work, this book provides sound guidance, and I highly recommend it to you."-- David Eddy-- Husband of twenty-five years and Senior Pastor of Manchester Community Church " Marriage God's Way is an inspiring and enlightening book. Thereare eight eye-opening parts divided into chapters that explain the roles thehusband and the wife play in a happy Christ-centered marriage. Using versesfrom Scripture, the author explicates various marriage issues including theheadship of the husband, what submission means and does not mean, what is moreimportant to a husband and to a wife, and intimacy in marriage. This is a wonderful book that offers a formulafor an ideal marriage. It sheds light on common but important marital issueslike why some women tend to be controlling, and why there are passive men whosuccumb to their wives' leadership. I enjoyed this book immensely and I can'timagine getting tired of it even if I read it every day. I recommend it notonly to married people but also to those planning to get married."-- 4 Out of 4 Stars Review from OnlineBookClub.org From the Author I poured my heart into Marriage God's Way and I pray it strengthens your marriage and relationship with Christ!
