Worth a look or two,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bring Home the Joy (Hardcover)
The problem with books like this is that with several authors, some are very strong and others are not as worthwhile. For instance, I don't understand why Neil Clark Warren's chapter on sex was included when he mostly just relayed information from the studies of Clifford and Joyce Penner. Why not go directly to the source? The book is a good resource if you want to see what authors are most helpful to you personally. Overall, it provides some worthwhile information on maintaining a good Christian marriage, especially the chapters by Larry Crabb.
