| Sacred Marriage by Zondervan Junk |
| I became a Christian just a few years ago after a strong dissatisfaction with Catholicism. I held lifelong fears and anxieties about marriage--I thought it was an institution to condemn women--but I thought this was an interesting approach to the subject so I picked up the book. Thanks to the author, I now feel worse. Not only is the book perpetuating the rampant sexism that exists in the church but every "Christian man" he talks about is a misogynist. The book itself is nothing but his bickers about his wife's "girlie problems" and he tries to-stupidly- generalize the experiences of all women. He even flat out declares that the genders are not and will never be equals! He also makes the idiot mistake of thinking motherhood is a peachy-keen walk in the park. This book went in the trash. God forbid I ever end up with a man like that--I'd rather stay single and go back to being secular where people are actually embracing the notion that men are supposed to be a part of the child rearing process (gasp!). |
| Sacred Marriage by Zondervan A Wonderful Book on the True Meaning of Marriage |
| Gary Thomas' "Sacred Marriage" almost lost me. The first chapter moved slowly, and I was tempted to put the book down. Thank God, I was waiting for a friend at a coffee shop and had nothing else to read. Once the author began writing the meat of the book, I was hooked. This is a MUST READ for any marital partner! In fact, I think it should be a standard gift to every couple who marries. This is an amazing book that truly teaches marriage isn't meant to make you happy. Marriage is meant to make you a better Christian! |
| Sacred Marriage by Zondervan Best book on marraige ever written (next to the Bible) |
I've read at least twenty books on marriage, not because my marriage is bad but to make it better. This is by far the most Biblical of them all. Most books try to help correct behavior (not that that's a bad thing) but this one helps to correct your thinking, which in turn corrects your behavior. It's putting the horse before the cart method. Love it. Gary's writing is logical, Biblical and well researched with added stories that bring his viewpoints to life. I've bought numerous copies to give to others and it's especially good to give to couples who are planning on marrying.

| Sacred Marriage by Zondervan Sacred Marriage-Excellent Book |
| This is one of the best books I've read on marriage. Highly recommended. It is written in a format that is not prepotent, or speaking down to the reader. Very encouraging. My top recommendation from all the books on marriage I've read in 20 years of marriage. |
| Sacred Marriage by Zondervan A must read!!!!!!!!!!! |
| This is the best book I have every read on marriage. I am a pastor and have read several books on marriage, but others don't hold a candle in comparison with Sacred Marriage. This book change my life. |
