 The
Diamond Marriage
Publisher's description
Few books on marriage provide satisfying answers. Why Because of the focus!
Mostly it's on 'me', sometimes it's on 'us' but rarely does it stretch beyond
that.
This book is different! The emphasis goes beyond the husband and wife
relationship and asks the questions. 'Why has God gone to such great lengths to
create marriage.'
A recent report found that in the US the national divorce rate for Christians
and non-Christians is almost the same - 34% versus 38%. Clearly both groups need
help! The irony is that Christians have the answers in their hands every day
What has led us to be content with such a poor understanding of Christian love
in marriage How can joy in marriage be revived Simon Vibert's Biblical
perspective on marriage moves us away from dutiful and joyless relationships and
turns the marriage vow from 'till death us do part' into 'whilst we enjoy life'.
Packed with insight, wisdom, and wit, Vibert helps us to re-assess our view,
provides new light on the same-sex marriage debate, and restores marriage to its
rightful status - for us and before God.
Reviews
“With endless reports on divorce rates, it is heartening to read a book which
seeks to raise our sights – to appreciate the great purposes of God in our
marriages, to understand how God first created marriage and to see how he will
bring it to completion in heaven. A book to be bought, read and lent.”
January 2007, Evangelical Now, Mary Davies, Minister wife
'This is a truly excellent book. I warmly commend The Diamond Marriage
for its practical wisdom and theological insight into the ultimate purpose of
Christian Marriage. I encourage you to read it and work through the practical
exercises aimed at reviving healthy and god-glorifying marriages which will be
invaluable at a time when marriage is under unprecedented assault from all
sides. Simon has done us a great service.'
Wallace Benn, Bishop of Lewes
'Here is a monumental work of love and energy, from one of the most effective
Christian ministers in the UK. Today, when the foundations of marriage are under
attack from outside and within the church, The Diamond Marriage comes as
a book that is timely and urgently needed among us all '
Richard Bewes OBE
''This is a well informed book and constructively addresses crucial questions
which many other marriage books tend to neglect'
Ann Benton, Author and Speaker.
'What a helpful, engaging, and God honoring book! Knowing it will help
marriages at any stage, I will highly recommend The Diamond Marriage to
my congregation and to others with whom I speak.'
