Musings on Spiritual Matters

by Matthew Morine

Review of “Love and War”

Love and War: Finding the Marriage You've Dreamed OfThis book is written by one of my favorite authors, especially in the area of  issues dealing with men.  I loved his book “Wild at Heart.”  So I was excited to see this title.  The book was written by the husband and wife team.  The book is wonderful, it is better than those five steps to a perfect marriage.  It is deeper than those books that the author pictures his marriage as perfect and you are to live up to that.  This book is raw and flesh.  It pictures marriage as a difficult relationship that is always worth fighting for.  It pictures marriage as a beautiful union of two people committed to loving one another through the seasons of life.  The book will help you to pray and focus on making your marriage better.  It will picture some of the major issues in a marriage.  I really enjoyed this book for its honest and real approach to Christian marriages.  It was a refreshing read in a genre full of self-help.

    This has nothing to do with this book but I thought I would tell you that I am currently reading through Tom Olbricht’s “Hearing God’s Voice: My Life with Scriptures in the Churches of Christ,” Abilene, TX: ACU Press, 1996.

    Whether or not you (and other readers) will agree with everyone of his conclusions, I believe minister’s in the CoC will appreciate this book told in auto-biographical narrative. Olbricht is a good humorous story teller who has a deep love for our fellowship. Plus I believe you will enjoy the fact that his role as a scholar is matched by his work as a preacher of the gospel from his days as a Harding student on campaigns to his workd as a preacher in local churches.

    Grace and peace,

    Rex
