Book Report-- When Sinners Say "I Do"

When Sinners Say "I Do" M
by Dave Harvey

Non-fiction


The best book on marriage I've read to date.

The basic premise is to remind married (or to be married) Christians that they greatest problem in their marriage is themselves. Or, rather, their sin natures. And thus the gospel.

The closing chapter, for instance, was titled "When Sinners Say 'Goodbye,'" speaking obviously of death. In light of our sin, the inevitable end to even a blissful marriage is death. But by God's grace, while our bodies waste away we can be inwardly renewed. And this is what is needed in marriage throughout the years.

It's a real, clear, honest look at marriage. It's as readable as it is funny- at least to my personal humor taste.
