A Biblical View on Relationships

We live in a world today amongst brothers and sisters who are hurting. The result of depression in singleness, broken relationships, unhappy marriages, and lacking intimacy with children. Why does it have to be this way? The keyword here is relationships; lack of Christ-centered relationships to be exact! As a people, we have failed to live by the practical steps provided in Scripture and have opted for something else. We have opted to do things our way and not God's way. It's no news now that we have failed with our flawed system, therefore, the sensible thing to do now embraces what the Bible offers. How to build true, supportive, personal, faith-building, and selfless relationships between men and women. This is what I desire to do for you through this book using God's Word as our ultimate authority - the Bible. The Bible is ultimately about relationships because that is who God is and so it is what we are made for. Relationships are the living breath of life by the Holy Spirit. We are not just to show love but have relationships of love in our marriages, in our single lives, and in every other relationship we have. God is calling us to possess a special kind of Gospel empowered relationship with those around us that we cannot accomplish apart from His Holy Spirit. These kinds of relationships can be learned from and through the relationships we witness throughout Scripture and the advice we are taught around the good and the bad. This book provides a gentle walk-through the richness of Scripture in light of singleness, courtship and marriage. I pray that this book will help you unlock godly principals in your life so you can begin building on them to enjoy Gospel empowered relationships in all forms of relationship God provides for you. May God give us the desire and the ability to minister the types of relationships that adorn the Gospel and bring Glory to Him.

This book provides scripture and great advice. Very well done. I think it would make a great addition to church libraries." David PhD says: "A healing and heartwarming guide" Daniel says: "This is an excellent survey and introduction to the biblical theme of relationships. It covers singleness, courtship and marriage in depth yet always connects back to the core message of the Gospel and the dignity of each person as an image-bearer of God. Early on, special attention is paid to formative relationships between romantic partners in the Old Testament which lays a strong foundation for the Christological vision laid out in later chapters. Each chapter is also expertly organized with a helpful discussion questions, a conclusion, and even a section for notes. Although a great range of content is discuss, the writing is crisp and lucid, always engaging the audience and challenging them to dig into further. Readers of all backgrounds will find this a very helpful introduction to Biblical teachings on relationships." Jack says: "Very insightful!"
