What do the scriptures say about marriage? Does God has a plan for marriage?

As most know, the divorce rate is at a staggering rate in the U.S. Most couples are bombarded with a myriad of issues that come from encounters with the world’s darkness, sin and the enemy. Marriage from Roots to Fruits: Understanding God’s Design for Growing in Good Soil by Matt Pavlik is a solid, biblical Christian marriage book and study guide that gives hope for troubled marriages when failure is not an option. 

In his book, Matt Pavlik as a licensed professional marriage counselor, gives understanding to your personal design by God that includes your identity and a step-by-step journey of growth in God and within a marriage. He unveils marriage as designed by God that was intended to be an environment where one can grow and prosper.

With this in mind, the author presents a fascinating and insightful read that teaches one who you are in God and what marriage was created for.  He has created a guide, divided into 3 parts as: Spiritual Foundations, Individual Growth & Marital Growth to help readers recognize that good fruit comes from good trees. Therefore, he starts from the root of issues to produce godly fruit. This takes readers within a marriage, individually, or within a small study group, on a journey of self-discovery to enable them to put God back into the picture. Thus, producing a fruitful harvest the way God designed marriage to be enjoyed.

Marriage from Roots to Fruits comes highly recommended as a read that is not only biblical, but practical. 
Matt Pavlik
Additionally, the author addresses many of the issues in marriage that can eat away at the root system of a marriage to include: communication style, your love language and conflict resolution. (Honestly, there is so much in the book that all cannot be listed within a review). Within the pages of this book one will learn to view each other as an individual, understand differences and godly roles, while learning to apply godly principles within a marriage that will transform marriages and individuals. The book is certainly an all-encompassing Christian perspective from one who is a professional marriage counselor and has a heart to heal marriages.

As a reviewer that has reviewed hundreds of books, many which are on marriage, this book stands out as one of the best that I have had the pleasure of reviewing.

Jesus, The Savior of The World

There’s No One Like Jesus
Author Blake Western

As an excellent read, this book contains insights and is filled with the Hope of Glory, Christ Himself, as readers will come to understand the majesty and power of the multi-faceted features, nature and character of Jesus. ~ CBM 

There’s No One Like Jesus by Blake Western displays the preeminence of Christ, being fully God and fully man. Filled with scripture, hymns and poems, the author’s love for Christ shines brightly throughout the book.  Therefore, the author has compiled a short and easy read revealing the foundation of Christianity and WHO Jesus is – in that there is no one like Jesus. 

Readers will develop a deep love and gain perspective into Jesus by His Word, His miracles, His salvation, His friendship and much more as the author reveals the absolute power and majesty of Jesus. Presenting a firm foundation, the author offers keen understanding into why no one can compare to Jesus as the King of kings and Lord of lords.  With such passion and wisdom, the author displays the true Gospel, Jesus, His birth, His Church and the disciples that lays a foundation of holiness presenting Jesus as the only One True God to many.  Unveiling Jesus in this way makes for an excellent read that will overflow many hearts with love for our Savior and also reminds all that Jesus is – the anchor to our souls and Is answer to everything you will ever need in this life.

  Jesus was not only the perfect sacrifice, the Lamb of God, that cleansed the entire Earth and humanity from sin through His blood, all sin was laid upon Him at the cross. His atonement is the only sacrifice that covers sin. Not only did He create the universe and the Earth we live in, He also created through His power all things and holds the entire universe together through His power. His majesty is unmatched, His power and love is unfathomable, His Kingdom and Word will never end.  This book gives a glimpse into the knowledge of Christ, leading to a deeper understanding of the love and majesty of the King of kings and the Lord of lords. 

Biblically sound doctrine and Kingdom principles encompass this book making it a great book for new or mature believers that desire a deeper insight into Jesus, the man, God and His Word.

America, America, God Shed His Grace On Thee

Return America, let us return unto the Lord.

In this wake up call, Return to Christianity by A.M. Deigloriam is calling for  America, the complacent, the compromising, the slothful, and all who are disobedient to the Lord’s commands to wake up.  The book is not meant to put down anyone, but to lift up and re-focus readers on Christian values that many Americans have lost and/or take for granted. Now that is good news.

Fully centered on one of the greatest commandments: Love thy neighbor as thyself - this book takes a look at the position of wealth in America and reminds people that wealth is not to be trusted in, but God who gives to all richly everything to enjoy. With that said, wealth is not meant to be spent on oneself, for purchasing expansive houses or luxury cars, but wealth is meant to help the poor. The author addresses the notion that the poor are somehow being punished for their sins and don’t deserve help. With a historical look at the original twelve apostles, the author brings readers back with scripture to the core values that this country has lived by, which we are quickly losing, as many Americans have forgotten God and living a holy life.

This message is really a “word” from God - and a call to honor God, to also honor all men whom are created in the image of God, revealing an avenue for repentance. (Yes, repentance – another word Americans don’t like to think of which is rarely taught from the pulpit.) Timely in nature, this message speaks to the greed and apathy of a compromising church, as our country seems to be straying farther away from godly policy to man-made policies that are against the core values of America and against God Himself.
