The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God

Renowned pastor of New York€s Redeemer Presbyterian Church and author of the forthcoming <i>Every Good Endeavor</i>, Timothy Keller with his wife of 36 years, delivers <i>The Meaning of Marriage</i>, an extraordinarily insightful look at the keys to happiness in marriage that will inspire Christians, skeptics, singles, long-time married couples, and those about to be engaged. <br /><p></p><p>Modern culture would make you believe that everyone has a soul-mate; that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage; that your spouse is there to help you realize your potential; that marriage does not mean forever, but merely for now; that starting over after a divorce is the best solution to seemingly intractable marriage issues. All those modern-day assumptions are, in a word, wrong.</p><p>Using the Bible as his guide, coupled with insightful commentary from his wife of thirty-six years, Kathy, Timothy Keller shows that God created marriage to bring us closer to him and to bring us more joy in our lives. It is a glorious relationship that is also the most misunderstood and mysterious. With a clear-eyed understanding of the Bible, and meaningful instruction on how to have a successful marriage, <i>The Meaning of Marriage</i> is essential reading for anyone who wants to know God and love more deeply in this life.<br /><br />Just as this book is based on his popular sermon series, so will his Encounters with Jesus series, the first of which, <i>The Skeptical Student </i>comes out in December.</p>
