Enhancing One Another’s Glory in Christ: Premarital and Marital Counsel for Christian Couples

"Bob and Karen have given us great teaching and tools to equip our church with gospel centered identity. The Spirit has used their studies to bring Gospel renovation to so many churches and lives. We are excited for this new work on marriage." Rusty Milton, Senior Pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Dothan, Alabama"The authors, Bob and Karen Smart, have experienced the many faces of marriage: their relationship, the marriage of their five children, and their counseling of the many couples they have known over the years. Their book is honest, caring, and spiritual. Marriage can be a life-long friendship that reveals the glory of Christ. A Christian marriage brings out rich, spiritual, and transcendent qualities: compassion, love, understanding, gentleness, freedom, life, glory, and self-control. Christians fully alive are to the glory of their Savior, as St. Irenaeus reminds us 'Life in man is the glory of God; the life of man is the vision of God.'" Dr. Willem VanGemeren, Professor
