Synopsis:Marriage is under attack now more than ever. Even within the church, homosexuality, divorce, and shallow, sentimental views of love are subverting God’s design for husbands and wives. To help Christian couples counter these trends and recover marriage as God intended it, Dr. Michael A.G. Haykin has compiled a rich anthology of love letters from saints of the past. Each letter gives us a glimpse of what marriage should be: joyful companionship, deep passion, and unfailing commitment through the ups and downs of life. At its best, Christian marriage is a foretaste of eternal bliss—and it’s far more satisfying than any of the substitutes this world has to offer.

About the Author:Dr. Michael A.G. Haykin is chair and professor of church history and biblical spirituality at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., where he serves as director of the Andrew Fuller Center for Baptist Studies. He is also a fellow of the Royal Historical Society in the United Kingdom.
