Three Good Marriage Resources

Posted on February 16, 2009

As a follow up to Sunday’s message on Marriage, here are three resources that shaped my reflections:

· Mardi Keyes, “Marriage: Is There a Place Between Cynicism and Idolatry?” – cultural and theological reflection on the state of marriage in the U.S.

· Gary & Betsy Ricucci, Love that Lasts – a practical book on how to promote a godly marriage.

· Kostenberger, God, Marriage and Family – a biblical treatment of marriage and family, more textual and less practical.
