What book?

[tinkerbell]

Hey Guys,

I have a question - just for idea's sake. My boyfriend and I are planning on starting to study the Bible together every Sunday morning. We have Bible studies together now, with larger groups of people, but we want to spend some time in the Word with just the two of us. Do any of you guys have any suggestions about what Bible book we should start in, or do you know of any other Bible based devotionals, etc, we could read or study together. Thanks so much for your input! God bless

There is a great devotional called Devotions for Dating Couples if that is something like ou are looking for.
That book is designed for you to study seperate during the week, talk on Sat. and go to church together on Sun.

I cannot possibly single out one particular book...but I would recommend sonething in the Gospels...just my preference. They speak about the true Word and what He did. I think they would be beneficial for both of you. Good luck! God bless you both!

If this is a pretty serious relationshihp I would suggest a book called Spiritual Relationships that Last. The pastors of my church wrote it and it's pretty good. There is also a workbook that is good. I doubt you will be able to find it locally but if it sounds interesting to you I can track down the information for you. My husband and I studied it when we were dating and really enjoyed it.

What is the book about? Can you give me an overview?

Formerly published as The Myth of Romance, this is exciting reading, especially if you are interested in building a Christ-centered marriage.

Editorial Reviews

"This is a refreshingly biblical, cutting-edge vision of marriage as it could be—if we were to drop the cultural myths that weigh us down. DeLashmutt and McCallum invite us to revel in the hope that intimacy isn't based on finding the right person, but on becoming the right person—a man or woman of depth, passion and godly character."

Dr. Dan B. Allender
Director, Wounded Heart Ministries


"This is the best nuts and bolts guide to marriage I have ever seen!"

Today's Christian Woman, Editor's Choice


"I'm not given to gratuitous praise. . . honestly, I have never come across a book on dating and marriage preparation that is so thorough, so biblical and so compassionately presented. Your points are carefully explored or supported from a scriptural foundation, and throughout you present hard-to-hear truths in such a kind, caring manner that your readers can't help but pay attention. . . I loved it!"

Kathy Olsen, Editor, Tyndale House Publishers


"McCallum and DeLashmutt argue that finding the right person is secondary to becoming the right person, and that the choice of who and when to marry must be rooted in a different value system than mere physical and emotional attraction."

"(Spiritual Relationships That Last) is great for singles wondering how to know they are ready for marriage, a well as study groups and marriage preparation classes. The book will also help couples already married to regain their perspective and set their agenda for success God's way."

From the Bethany House Summer Catalog
