“Lord, here am I. Change him.”
“God, I’m trying. She started it.”Common claims but they’re so far from Trinitarian life. We invoke Christ at the wedding then seem to default to an alien theology afterward.
In this simple and practical book, Doug Wilson offers a richer and more comprehensive theology of marriage than in his prior works. Here he grounds marriage in the life of the Trinity and in the life of the church. Marriage is intended to be a glorious picture of the gospel, and marriages grounded elsewhere regularly create a small hell on earth. Don’t miss the riches of marriage.

Home By Choice
$19.99Add to cartIt’s one of the toughest choices a mother will ever make: to “work” or be a full-time mother? It is also a long-running debate between moms who feel they contribute more to society at work than at home and those who feel mothering is not just a full-time job but a calling. In this newly repackaged, expanded, and updated edition of Home by Choice, national authority Dr. Brenda Hunter brings research to the discussion table, arguing that no one can replace the care a mother provides. As kids grow up with parental presence, she says, they develop a sense of home that will serve them all their lives. Dr. Hunter speaks directly to moms, addressing their unique concerns-such as financial pressure, support from husbands, and personal fulfillment. She makes a well-reasoned case for the enduring effects of a mother’s love.

His own marriage of almost fifty years ended in the passing of his wife. He has since remarried. He and Lily together have a music ministry. D. J. “Pop-Pop” Wooten, as he is now often affectionately called, has studied churches and homes for the long years in his service to God.

Welcoming Children : A Practical Theology Of Childhood
$34.99Add to cartWelcoming Children develops a theology of childhood both from a theological perspective and from practical experience in children and youth ministry.
