Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone accept, His Lordship. The Cross, as it enters the love life, will reveal the heart’s truth.
~Elisabeth Elliot

While I am not married yet, I have read this book of Ravi's, and LOVED it. It was so amazing. It was a library copy, so I couldn't underline, but I wrote down plenty of things from it. I just really loved that book - so great for so many reasons.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this sweet giveaway! :)
Raechel, yes; I agree! I love this book that he has written! I'm glad that you stopped over here; the Lord bless you! :-)

ReplyDeleteAlicia, Fireproof is one of my favorites too! Such a wonderful movie!
DeleteDear Mrs. Neal,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway! I love the mug and scarf especially. :) That book looks soooo good. I haven't really watched any marriage movies, but I think I have read a couple godly encouraging books that talk a little about marriage. I can't remember the titles though.
I hope you have a wonderful day!
Love in Christ,
Ashley
Thank you, Ashley! I hope that you have a wonderful day, too!
DeleteBeautiful giveaway items! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Sarah; I'm glad that you stopped by!
DeleteI learned so much from the book The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace.
ReplyDeleteI have never read that one--I'm glad that you stopped by!
DeleteThe book sounds like such a great read! And lace and pearls... so lovely!
ReplyDeleteLauren, I enjoyed this book so much--it is one of my favorites on the topic of marriage/relationships. Yes! Lace and pearls always remind me of Anne of Avonlea! :-) :-)
DeleteThe Lord bless you, Lauren.
Aren't you sweet? Such a "loving" giveaway. Thank you! Visiting today via #testimonyTuesday.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Kristi; the Lord bless you! :-)

ReplyDeleteI am glad that you're enjoying them, Angela; the Lord bless you!
DeleteI've read the Ravi book ~ It's a good one! :-) A good movie that shows a Christ-centered marriage is FAITH LIKE POTATOES. Thanks for offering this giveaway ~ It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Alicia! :-) Yes; Faith Like Potatoes--such a good film! :-)
DeleteHi Mrs. Neal,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this giveaway. I'm not married yet so I haven't read any books on that. :)
God bless you,
Lauren
The Lord bless you also, Lauren; I'm glad that you stopped by!
DeleteWhat a fun giveaway! My hubs and I have read some of Dennis and Barbara Rainey's devotional books for couples, and we've loved those. They give questions for conversation for couples. As for movies, Courageous, with Alex Kendrick was so good. I love the call to men to become the men, husbands and fathers God has called them to be. And Deborah Raney's novel, A Vow to Cherish, left me loving my husband more and thinking about the different stages of marriage. I know these are fiction, but stories speak to me. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to "meet" you through Holly Barrett's Testimony Tuesday link up.
It's nice to meet you too, Jeanne! I really enjoyed the movie Courageous as well! The Lord bless you!
DeleteAwesome giveaway! Looks like some amazing resources :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nicole; the Lord bless you!
DeleteWhat a great collection of gifts. Happy Wednesday to you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday to you also, Michele; the Lord bless you!
DeleteThis looks amazing! My favorite books and dvds on marriage are by Jimmy Evans from Marriage Today. Also, I found you via the Woman to Woman Ministries link-up! :)
ReplyDeleteRachael, I'm glad that you stopped by; have a blessed week!
DeleteWhat a fun giveaway! I love the movie Old Fashioned! Thank you for this opportunity. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Heather; have a wonderful week!
DeleteWhat a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up with Woman to Woman Ministries. God bless. <3
Thank you, Jenifer; the Lord bless you!
DeleteWhat a generous giveaway! I'm sure it will bless some lovely lady. :) Thanks so much for sharing at Literacy Musing Mondays.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm glad that I could share it there! Have a blessed week, Brandi!
DeleteI've never read a book by Ravi, but I've enjoyed listening to him many times. What a fun giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYes; he is wonderful to listen to, too! Thanks for stopping by! :-)
DeleteOne book I read recently that helped me have a better thinking toward true love was Passion & Purity by Elisabeth Elliott. It was a huge inspiration for me and one I will be reading again soon!
ReplyDeleteYes; Passion and Purity is a wonderful book! Definitely worth reading more than once!
DeleteThanks for stopping by the Homemaking Party! There are so many great nonfiction books out there to encourage us in Christian marriage so I decided to try to think of a fiction book and was reminded of the author, Janette Oke. I read a lot of her Christian romance books when I was a newly married bride and they really helped me develop a heart for my husband and the new adventure God had put me on as his wife. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Mrs. Sarah Coller
Sarah, I've enjoyed Janette Oke's books, too! Have you seen the films based on her books Love Comes Softly and Love's Enduring Promise? I really, really enjoyed those! The Lord bless you, Sarah!
DeleteI love Fireproof
ReplyDeleteYes; I do too! Such a wonderful film!
DeleteSo lovely!! And every time I come to your blog, I just love your title picture...it is breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you Crystal! That is such a blessing to me!
DeleteI really enjoyed this series (and I love that scarf!) Thanks for linking this up at Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com!
ReplyDeleteTina
You're welcome, Tina! I'm glad that you enjoyed the series! The Lord bless you!
