Customer Review: 4 out of 5 A breath of fresh air - Great book, small but effective. If you've been left or somehow find yourself the only half of the marriage wanting to save it; and believe that there's still a chance ( even if small), please read- it will help you remain sain, keep you from making a few mistakes, and give you some great advice.
Customer Review: 5 out of 5 How to Save Your Marriage Alone - this is an excellent book for anyone. even if there seems to be no hope. If you like this book, you will also like Love Life for Every Married Couple. I highly recommend both books.
Customer Review: 1 out of 5 A recipe for disaster. - Many years ago I clung to this book while in the middle of a humiliating, searing disintegration of my marriage. My husband had made it clear that he wanted out for almost two years before he finally left. I remained in a church group that told me (ultimately) what I really wanted to hear: I should submit more to my husband (who wanted none of it), pray harder, hold fast and "have faith" while waiting for God to restore my marriage. I had an arsenal of scriptures and prayed on my face nightly, weeping with inconsolable grief and desperation. When he left (as he had wanted to do for so long) I was financially ruined, spiritually bankrupt and physically damaged (two sexually transmitted diseases). I would strongly urge anyone interested in this book to lay down your will (yes, your will) to "save" your marriage and to humbly and earnestly seek the will and heart of Jesus for your personal situation. My life went from the frying pan to the fire to the fires of hell because of my own very religious and ultimately disobedient choices. As Evangelicals, we have turned marriage into an idol of monstrous proportions. We have similar cult-like views of family and marriage as the Mormons...which will hopefully give you sobering pause for prayer and reflection.
Customer Review: 2 out of 5 Good for die-hard Christians - This is a very short, small book, which is not a problem, only something buyers should be aware of. Its message mostly sees to be encouragement to stay in a marriage, keeping faith in God. It attempts to justify everything with the Bible, including scripture references in seemingly every other sentence (FAR more than the excerpt would lead you to believe). For those of us who do not believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of god and the sole source of authority, it's so off-putting that it makes it hard to get at the author's message.
Customer Review: 5 out of 5 A awesome book! It works! - I just wanted to say that this book is written by a Godly man who God has given this wisdom to. Hes much older now but makes the statement somewhere in the book that the only marriages that werent restored...were the ones that the STANDING PARTNER gave up believing. Somestimes you have to take a stand for years. If God can change the water into wine....why isnt he strong enough to restore a marriage! He is! This is the first book God brought to me when my ministry started. The Lord has given me a marriage restoration ministry just like Ed wheats! Gods grace is sufficient and you can love unconditionally and forgive like Jesus did! I have seen many a spouse return because of the forgivness they have seen in their spouse as he/she were standing and believing! They are amazed how they can forgive when they are in adultery! Well they cant..but Jesus is living in them and he is totally enabling them. To God be the Glory!Just know...Its Gods will to restore every marriage!Its all in Gods timing! Are you willing to wait?
