Synopsis

Once upon a time... Marriage was forever. It was a covenant that knit one man and one woman together. This weaving made both stronger, nobler, and more vibrant expressions of who they were created to be. They were better together than either had been on their own. The wedding ceremony was but a beginning. It was the gateway to build their happily ever after. Each choice and action was designed to construct the life their union represented. Husband and wife walked into the great unknown with hearts, hands, and voices intertwined to express the love of their Creator. How did we lose touch with this profound love story? In The Story of Marriage, John and Lisa Bevere invite you to rediscover God's original plan. Whether you're married, single, or engaged, your story is a part of His. Interactive book includes: -Daily devotionals -Questions for group discussion -Tools for mapping your dream marriage -Steps for writing your story well

Review:

Every couple has a unique story. Some stories are romantic, others triumphant, and some are still being written. In their new and powerful book, The Story of Marriage, John and Lisa Bevere candidly share their story, and along the way help you understand what a true partnership and love story is all about. --Craig and Amy Groeschel, pastors of LifeChurch.tv, Edmond, OK, and co-authors of From This Day Forward: Five Commitments to Fail-Proof Your Marriage

Marriage is a beautiful, redemptive relationship. It's a relationship ordained and orchestrated by God and one that should be entered into with honesty, respect, and purity of heart. Our dear friends John and Lisa Bevere have painted such an authentic picture of the journey of marriage and the revelation required in each participant in order to live out your own story of marriage with biblical perspective and intentional love. Whether you have been married for years or you're still looking for 'the one,' you will enjoy their humorous personalities and deep love for Jesus as they encourage us in the pursuit of godly relationship. --Brian and Bobbie Houston, Senior Pastors of Hillsong Church

Marriage isn't one size fits all but, as John and Lisa Bevere point out, God's purpose for marriage hasn't changed. It may be hard to imagine what it looks like to put Christ at the center of your marriage or how marriage reflects Christ's relationship with the Church. But in this book, John and Lisa use their own real-life examples to explain how it's possible to have a successful, Christ-centered marriage. --Steven Furtick, Lead Pastor of Elevation Church, Charlotte, NC, and New York Times best-selling author of Crash The Chatterbox and Greater
