I didn't stick around for long with this book. It seemed to veer away from its marriage-centric title and instead focused heavily on preaching the gospel. Moreover, the author's tone came across as self-righteous and judgmental. If you're looking for a book solely on marriage, I wouldn't recommend this one.
The Chand's incredible love for God shines through in a powerful way. Their message about the importance of missionary marriages speaks directly to our hearts, giving us a much-needed dose of inspiration every single day.
Honestly, I was a bit skeptical about picking up this book.
I didn't want to hear about another seven things I should do or ten ways to improve myself for my partner.
However, I found this book to be a breath of fresh air. Its content is distinct yet grounded in biblical principles, which is crucial.
Whether you're single, engaged, newlyweds, or have been married for five decades, I highly recommend reading it. I'm confident that our Father will bless you for doing so.
In general, I grasped the author's points and tended to align with them. I appreciated his emphasis on scripture as the foundation. However, I didn't necessarily agree with all of his conclusions, especially when it came to determining God's priorities in various scenarios. There are multiple passages that could support different interpretations of what matters most to God. I also pondered whether Chan's viewpoints were sometimes influenced by his cultural background. Our perspective on life is often shaped by our family and cultural origins, as well as external influences. This book definitely stimulates thought, but readers should evaluate Chan's opinions against scripture before fully accepting them.
I absolutely adored this book! It really pushed me, but it had some super simple suggestions that were easy to put into practice. The audiobook was top-notch as well, making the whole experience even better!
The book directs your focus towards Christ and his righteousness and loyalty. It's a thought-provoking read, yet skillfully composed with affection and tenderness in consideration. It certainly stimulated my thoughts, but also instilled in me a desire to emulate Christ. I would highly suggest this book to others!
The content is fantastic. It's refreshing to find a preacher who emphasizes the importance of having fewer possessions and taking meaningful action. This message is desperately needed in today's world!
If you're looking for a quick and impactful way to reshape your perspective on marriage, "You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity" is the perfect read. The advice provided in this book is unique and aligns perfectly with biblical principles. Personally, I prefer listening to the authors themselves, although I do find it helpful to increase the playback speed to 1.5x as the pace may be a bit slow for my liking. Nonetheless, hearing the authors read their own work adds an enjoyable touch to the experience.
I really loved reading this book. It had numerous instances where I felt personally challenged on certain thoughts and beliefs I've had without even being aware of it. I absolutely recommend this book and can't wait to pass it on to anyone who will listen. Seriously, grab a copy of this book! My husband and I are stoked to see the Chans speaking at a marriage conference hosted by a nearby church later this week. So pumped!
