The Uncommon Marriage Adventure

A very good book to read the 1-3 pages in each chapter perhaps in the morning with your spouse before work.This book is structured as a devotional with sixteen weeks worth of lessons, with short chapters directed specifically at either men or women which largely alternate between the two, those written by Lauren for wives and those written by Tony for husbands.

I did not agree with all of it but I can see the authors  passion for helping others. 

This book points out several things
Honor parents, value their  wisdom and seek out their best. 
Serve others. Have a changed attitude

What I really liked was a point that says something like this. .I can't choose my situation but I can always choose my attitude.

Among the many qualities that make this book excellent is the fact that it is real. It is clear from this book that both authors care deeply for each other, respect each other highly, and are committed to each other’s well being.

Not a a favorite but I am glad to have read and gleaned from this book.

Thanks 
 for the free book!

Not your typical family book- even better!

A wonderful book which my mother  has now asked to read! Clint Archer has shown how  sports concepts can be helpful when considering what God's plan for the family is. The father is the coach and his children the team!  I highly recommend this book for every family, no matter how big or small you may be, and no matter where you are in your Spiritual walk.
Using the analogy of a sports team — something that those in America are very familiar with — Archer lays out a Scriptural portrait of the family from God’s perspective. He covers every side of it and makes one very convicted on how  each should liv. I liked his  ideas on fathers- they must each  and mothers  they can   have a side job! Not your ticl book but one that is very balanced. All support the team leader- the father.Archer, who is pastor of Hillcrest Baptist Church in South Africa, uses a number of sports related illustrations to help emphasize the concept that the Christian family is a team.  All in all, I found this a very balanced perspective You should read and order for every newly married couple or for the average family. A must for church libraries! 

Families, just like sports teams, must understand their goals and their opponents. Every member of the family must know his or her position and the rules of the game. And the family needs to understand the consequences of poor play as well as the rewards of fair play” (9).

I received this book for free from Shepherd Press via Cross Focused Reviews for this review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own and are my honest review of the book.
