This review is from: A Grief Sanctified: Passing Through Grief to Peace and Joy (Paperback)

As a single man ready to marry, this book opened my eyes to the dangers and delights of marriage. As soon as Baxter warns about vices that are peculiar to marriage, he describes the wonders of Christian intimacy in marriage. Very encouraging!
