Book Description
For anyone who is married, preparing for marriage, or desperate to save a relationship teetering on the brink of divorce, marriage coaches Dave and Ann Wilson offer hope and strategies gleaned from personal experience and Scripture that really work. Vertical Marriage will give you the insight, applications, and inspiration to transform your marriage into everything you hoped it would be. Honest to the core and laugh-out-loud funny, Dave and Ann Wilson share the one secret that brought them from the brink of divorce to a healthy and vibrant relationship. If you had asked Dave how their marriage was doing on the night of their tenth wedding anniversary, Dave would have rated it a 9.8 out of 10, and he would have even guaranteed that Ann would say the same. But instead of giving him a celebratory kiss, Ann whispered, "I've lost my feelings for you." Divorce seemed inevitable for the Wilsons, but starting that night, God began to reveal to Dave and Ann the most overlooked secret of getting the marriage we are looking for: a horizontal marriage relationship just doesn't work until your vertical relationship with Christ is first. As founders of a multi-campus church and marriage coaches with 30 years of experience, Dave and Ann share the hard-earned but easy-to-apply biblical principles that ensure a strong marriage. Written in a highly relatable dialogue between both husband and wife, Vertical Marriage will guide you toward building a vibrant relationship at every level, giving you the tools you need to embrace: Effective communication Fair conflict True romance A deeper connection Through their unique perspectives, Dave and Ann share an intimate, sometimes hilarious, and at times deeply poignant narrative of one couple's journey to reconnecting with God and discovering the joy and power of a vertical marriage.

Respuestas, No Promesas

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
De la Fundadora de EWTN, la Red Global Católica, nos llegan estas respuestas — con una aproximación profundamente práctica y humorística — a las preguntas más difíciles que se nos presentan en la vida. De una manera delicada y respetuosa, la Madre Angélica nos confronta con nuestros verdaderos problemas, levantando nuestro corazón hacia Dios y dirigiendo nuestra alma hacia el Cielo. Sus respuestas provienen, no desde un mundo sumergido en el vicio, sino desde una vida dedicada a Dios. Mientras lees sus consejos y su respuesta al llamado a crecer cerca de Cristo, la Madre Angélica se convertirá en la persona en la cual depositarás tu confianza en la batalla por adquirir la virtud. Te ayudará a vencer en la lucha contra tus pecados más enraizados, así como a vencer el miedo a la muerte, el dolor de la culpa, y los — aparentemente benignos —afectos que tengas por las cosas de este mundo. También te guiará hacia un mayor entendimiento de la vida espiritual explicándote por qué es tan difícil ser bueno; por qué debemos experimentar el sufrimiento —incluso las personas más buenas —y por qué Dios no responde todas nuestras oraciones. Teniendo a la Madre Angélica como guía también aprenderás: Cómo rezar aún cuando Dios parezca estar lejano o silencioso Maneras de sobreponerte a lo complicado de creer en Dios Los cinco pasos para descubrir la voluntad de Dios para ti Ocho clases de sufrimiento y la manera en que cada uno de ellos pueden configurar y purificar tu vida Maneras de evitar los errores más comunes en nuestra oración a Dios Qué pedir y qué no pedir en nuestra oración Maneras de vencer la lujuria y descubrir lo que Dios te está tratando de decir con esta tentación Cómo arrojar tu culpa en el océano de la Misericordia de Dios Cómo perdonar aún cuando tu dolor sea justificado La diferencia entre el orgullo bueno y falso Cómo escuchar cuando tu Ángel de la Guarda te previene del mal e inspira hacia el bien Cómo tu soledad encuentra significado en Jesús Por qué existe el Cielo y qué es lo que harás ahí Publicado hace unos treinta años, este libro se mantiene tan actual y vigente como siempre.

The China Bride
Author: Mary Jo Putney
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345494229
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 451
Book Description
Award-winning author Mary Jo Putney captivated the hearts of readers everywhere with her breathtaking hardcover debut, The Wild Child. Now, in her spectacular new novel The China Bride, she has created another brilliantly moving love story, and a very special heroine--a rare beauty torn between two cultures who valiantly struggles to discover the woman she is destined to be. Born to a Scottish father and now living in China, Troth Montgomery grew up speaking several languages and thinking of faraway England as home. Enduring life as a concubine, she never imagined that one day she would leave the Orient, arriving in bitter winter at the estate of a stranger--the brother of the man who had briefly been her husband. Kyle Renbourne, Viscount of Maxwell, had taken Troth as his bride shortly before his apparent execution in a Chinese prison. Now, as his widow, she is entitled to the home she always dreamed of but remains haunted by the memory of a dashing husband and the brief, forbidden love they shared. Then Kyle seemingly returns from the dead. Though he has survived, his mind and body are badly wounded. He needs time to heal and retreats from the exotic wife he barely knows. Bitterly aware that she will never be a fitting English wife, Troth defiantly embraces her foreign traditions, hoping that the ancient arts of her ancestors will restore Kyle's spirit and her own battered heart. Together they embark on a miraculous journey of hope and faith as Kyle becomes enchanted with the intimate tranquillity he shares with his bewitching Troth. But before he can win back his China bride, Kyle must first face a deadly menace that has followed them halfway across the world. . . . Written with exquisite elegance and gentle passion, The China Bride is a stirring tale of everlasting love and the power of forgiveness, by a master storyteller. From the Hardcover edition.

The Book of Daniel
Author: E.L. Doctorow
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0307762955
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The central figure of this novel is a young man whose parents were executed for conspiring to steal atomic secrets for Russia. His name is Daniel Isaacson, and as the story opens, his parents have been dead for many years. He has had a long time to adjust to their deaths. He has not adjusted. Out of the shambles of his childhood, he has constructed a new life—marriage to an adoring girl who gives him a son of his own, and a career in scholarship. It is a life that enrages him. In the silence of the library at Columbia University, where he is supposedly writing a Ph.D. dissertation, Daniel composes something quite different. It is a confession of his most intimate relationships—with his wife, his foster parents, and his kid sister Susan, whose own radicalism so reproaches him. It is a book of memories: riding a bus with his parents to the ill-fated Paul Robeson concert in Peekskill; watching the FBI take his father away; appearing with Susan at rallies protesting their parents’ innocence; visiting his mother and father in the Death House. It is a book of investigation: transcribing Daniel’s interviews with people who knew his parents, or who knew about them; and logging his strange researches and discoveries in the library stacks. It is a book of judgments of everyone involved in the case—lawyers, police, informers, friends, and the Isaacson family itself. It is a book rich in characters, from elderly grand- mothers of immigrant culture, to covert radicals of the McCarthy era, to hippie marchers on the Pen-tagon. It is a book that spans the quarter-century of American life since World War II. It is a book about the nature of Left politics in this country—its sacrificial rites, its peculiar cruelties, its humility, its bitterness. It is a book about some of the beautiful and terrible feelings of childhood. It is about the nature of guilt and innocence, and about the relations of people to nations. It is The Book of Daniel.
