Book Description
The Parable of the Prodigal Son is found in the text of the New Testament, in Luke 15:11-32 to be exact. It was told by Jesus to His followers to illustrate God's love and forgiveness, even when one would abandon the security and blessings God has bestowed, to follow a fallen "wisdom" over that which God has provided. It is illustrative of a common theme woven throughout the Bible, starting with Adam and Eve, through the Tower of Babel, to the doubting Israelites in the wilderness ... and even to the present day. The truth of the Parable of the Prodigal Son applies to spouses as well, and it is a testament to God's unconditional love and the realization that our loved ones will sometimes head out on their own, outside the will of God, only to realize the treasure they lost in their rebellion. And it bears noting that in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the father had the means and wherewithal to stop his son from leaving, but knew it was the choice of his son. And the Parable is a lesson in the ways God works, and those ways are explored throughout this work."The Prodigal Spouse" also comes with a compendium of inspirational verses directly from the Word of God, designed to give thoughts of peace, and not of evil, that will guard your hearts and your minds, and give you hope for the future!

Seasons of Waiting
Author: Betsy Childs Howard

Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
We’re all waiting for something. It might be a spouse or a baby. It might be healing or a home. Regardless of what we're waiting for, it’s easy to feel discontent when things aren’t going as planned and our dreams are delayed—especially when questions of “Why?” and “How long?” remain unanswered. God uses seasons of waiting to teach us patience and make us more like himself. But sanctification is not the only purpose God has in mind. When we wait faithfully with unmet longings, we become a powerful picture of the bride of Christ waiting for the day when he returns and God’s kingdom reigns.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
“This book walks each of us through the reality checks we need in order to have the marriage we want!” —Shaunti Feldhahn, social researcher and best-selling author of For Women Only In today’s workplace, women are often rewarded for having type A personalities: driven, demanding, ambitious, and strong. Yet when it comes to their marriages, those same traits can backfire. After all, no one goes into marriage hoping for a promotion. What is a wife to do? April Cassidy knows this struggle firsthand. She thought she was a great Christian wife and begged God to make her passive husband into a more loving, involved, godly leader. Instead, God opened her eyes to changes that she needed to make, such as laying down her desire for control and offering genuine, unconditional respect—not just love—to her husband. Cassidy’s conclusions may be as startling to readers as they were to her, but The Peaceful Wife shares how she and many others have learned to reorient their lives to biblical commands—resulting in healthier, happier marriages. In the end, you’ll find The Peaceful Wife a powerful path to God’s design for women to live in full submission to Christ as Lord.
