The #StoryOfMarriage PROLOGUE is a series of special messages on marriage from members of the MI team.
This book is full of grace and truth. With refreshingly honest stories and beautiful biblical instruction, John and Lisa share their hard-earned wisdom with us. These pages will help you to celebrate and cultivate God's gift of marriage.
I have never read such an eloquent and insightful outlook on marriage as the one that is presented in The Story of Marriage. John and Lisa Bevere show the blessings of marriage not from one side or the other but from the perspective of a couple, and they will teach the reader to grow with their partner and form a steady bond. I truly believe that this book will help so many people to reach their greatest potential not only for their family but also for the calling that Jesus Christ has on their life.
Every couple has a unique story. Some stories are romantic, others triumphant, and some are still being written. In their new and powerful book, The Story of Marriage, John and Lisa Bevere candidly share their story, and along the way help you understand what a true partnership and love story is all about.
Marriage is hard work, but the hard work is to produce something: a relationship that is the reflection of God’s love for us, and an intimacy that is life-changing. John and Lisa Bevere have hit a home run with their new book The Story of Marriage! They have been married for over thirty years, love each other more today, and yet have navigated some real storms in their marriage. They are so transparent about their failures and weaknesses, and they are very practical with their advice. This book will be a real encouragement to you and those in your world as you are writing the story of your own marriage.
John and Lisa Bevere have spent their lives bringing the Word of God to the world to help people fulfill all that God has for them. Writing this book on marriage is a further extension of this. In this book, they very candidly share their story, as well as biblical keys and truths that they used to see their marriage and family become what it is today. John and Lisa are close personal friends, and we know this book will be an invaluable tool for many couples.
There's no prescription or one-size-fits-all model for marriage. I love how John and Lisa were honest in sharing their own story while giving others who are married (or not) freedom to create their own story and do what God deems best! I have seen the beauty in the Bevere marriage, and I'm excited they are sharing it with others.
Marriage isn’t one size fits all—but, as John and Lisa Bevere point out, God’s purpose for marriage hasn’t changed. It may be hard to imagine what it looks like to put Christ at the center of your marriage or how marriage reflects Christ's relationship with the Church. But in this book, John and Lisa use their own real-life examples to explain how it's possible to have a successful, Christ-centered marriage.
Marriage is a beautiful, redemptive relationship. It’s a relationship ordained and orchestrated by God and one that should be entered into with honesty, respect, and purity of heart. Our dear friends John and Lisa Bevere have painted such an authentic picture of the journey of marriage—and the revelation required in each participant in order to live out your own story of marriage with biblical perspective and intentional love. Whether you have been married for years or you’re still looking for “the one,” you will enjoy their humorous personalities and deep love for Jesus as they encourage us in the pursuit of godly relationship.
I am super excited that John and Lisa have shared their wisdom and revelation with all of us on this most critical topic. As their pastor, I have witnessed the strength and unity of their relationship firsthand, and I pray this teaching rescues, redeems, and restores marriages around the world.
Jesus made it clear: "You will know them by their fruits." The beautiful relationship John and Lisa enjoy is a clear demonstration of what is produced when we do things God's way. This is especially true in relationships, and no relationship is more important than marriage. John and Lisa’s blessed ministry is an indication of the relationship they have first with God, then with one another.
It's difficult to raise children in today's challenging world filled with darkness. The lives of John and Lisa's four sons are perhaps the greatest manifestation of doing it right. Take advantage of what these gifted communicators and writers have to share!
John and Lisa Bevere are best-selling authors and the co-founders of Messenger International. They have been married for more than thirty years, and they want their struggles and triumphs to enrich and protect the story of marriage for others.
