Marriage Books
Thanks to all of you who participated in the marriage books survey. There were actually 21 different books named. But I promised only the top five. And since it’s five, and since I miss live sports, I’m doing this like an All-American basketball team. So without further ado…
The first Sovereign Grace Marriage Books All-American First Team, in order of votes:
1. Love That Lasts – Gary and Betsy Ricucci
2. What Did You Expect? – Paul Tripp
3. Sex, Romance and The Glory of God – C.J. Mahaney
4. The Meaning of Marriage – Tim and Kathy Keller
5. When Sinners Say I Do – Dave Harvey
In keeping with our All-American theme, there were several books that deserve honorable mention:
This Momentary Marriage: A Parable of Permanence – John Piper
Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel – Ray Ortlund
God, Marriage and Family: Rebuilding the Biblical Foundation – Andreas Kostenberger
Tying the Knot – Rob Green (this is a pre-marital counseling book)
And Newcomer of the Year:
With These Words – Rob Flood (this is just out but I’m hearing great things about it)
And, the Coach of the Year, for being the first one to get the top five titles in: Mike Seaver of Risen Hope Church, Summerville, S.C.
