What does it mean, then, that many Christians today aren’t sure what marriage is or why it matters? Could it be that while we were busy defending marriage (or trying not to offend the world) we actually lost sight of its original purpose and beauty? We must learn to speak wisely, biblically, and winsomely about marriage. The book you hold in your hand represents 4 years and thousands of hours of work from 40 experts on this crucial topic. These theologians, professors, pastors, and counselors have written on diverse topics related to marriage—from the way neuroscience upholds love to the challenges of dealing with broken relationships. All so that you can better understand and express the beauty and truth of God-honoring and world-changing marriage. Marriage is the great issue of our day. If you want to lead well, it’s time to prepare yourself for the conversations ahead.

Minding the Heart: The Way of Spiritual Transformation

The heart is the most important biblical term for the person’s nature and actions. Indeed, the heart is the control center of life. It is the very place where God works to change us. But how does this growth take place? How are Christians to discover the steadfast spirit of David’s psalm? In Minding the Heart, Robert L. Saucy offers insightful instruction on what spiritual transformation is and how to achieve it. He shows how renewing one’s mind through meditation, action, and community can begin the process of change, but ultimately the final change—the change that brings abundant life—can only come through a vital relationship with God. “The renewing of the heart is an inescapable human need,” writes Saucy, “but the solution lies only within the realm of the divine.” Drawing from inspiring Bible passages as well as selected scientific studies, Saucy demonstrates how to make lasting change so Christians can finally achieve the joys of becoming more like Christ.
