"Somewhere over the passing years and changing culture, women have lost their way. This book is written to lead them back home. Regardless of how you began your marriage or how dark and lonely the path that has brought you to where you are now, I want you to know that it is possible today to have a marriage so good and so fulfilling that it can only be explained as a miracle." ~ Debi Pearl
I have never reviewed such an incredible, life-changing book - and I am not prone to exaggerate! I guarantee you will be challenged and changed in your heart and mind. This book reminds us of our God-given roles as wives and challenges us to step up and be just what that requires. The cover of the book states, "Discover how God can make your marriage glorious" and Debi Pearl certainly does guide the way toward a more glorious marriage as she cheers you on toward loving that man you live with - as being more than just a man you live with - but being placed there as God's authority in your life who is deserving of your full respect and admiration. Is he not even close to admirable in your eyes - is he even intolerable? This view will change as you read this book. As an old pastor of mine used to say, you will learn how to "love the unlovable, reach the unreachable and teach the unteachable" without a word! You will be convicted of sin, yet at the same time spurred on towards loving and reverencing your man as you love and reverence Christ; "that the Word of God be not blasphemed" in your own life. (Ephesians 5; Titus 2)
There is a brilliant excerpt from the book which can be viewed at the No Greater Joy website which will give you a glimpse of the kind of man you may be married to and how to respond as a help meet to that particular type of man. This section will make you laugh and cry as you realize who it is you are married to and the God-like qualities he possesses. I happen to be married to a "Visionary" and have been hanging on for the wild ride through the years and now know how to sit back and enjoy that ride! You, too, will discover how to love your man the way God has wired him and give up the burden of trying to ever change him into being your help meet. You will be reminded that you are the one made to be the help meet and this book is chock full of very practical nitty-gritty advice on how to do just that.
I highly recommend that you read this book if you want a new marriage relationship, if you want to know what your role as a wife truly is from both biblical and practical perspectives, if you are hurting in your marriage or even if you are seemingly content, but especially if you want to see a fresh glimpse of your husband bathed in a brand new light of respect and awe.
This book will not only change your mind about your man, it will change your marriage! It is doing its work in mine already!
