The words of love are powerful in our hearts. We can build a meaningful life if we only allow ourselves to be true to our feelings. In 1 John 4:8, God said, “He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love.” God’s words remind us that we can find happiness when we don’t feel the love, and we can find comfort when we are feeling alone and separate from the person we married. 

What Is True Love in a Marriage? explores the love we hope to find in a marriage and what we believe love should encompass in a relationship. It was inspired by the true meaning of love as determined by God, the creator of the love that so many of us so often take for granted. 

Inspired by God’s love and words, this examination of relationship dynamics is for the women who have shared thoughts of love, and for those who have not yet experienced the real feelings true love brings. It is for the men who want to share their love, and their understanding of love, in a marriage. It aims to guide you toward discovering the true spirit that touches so many of our lives and help you discover or rediscover unconditional love.

In 1975 Carolyn Proctor underwent a routine surgery in an Atlanta hospital. The day before she was to return home, she was sitting up in bed, catching up on office work, chatting with her sister who had come to visit, and talking to her mother, Julia, on the phone. A few hours later, Carolyn began to hemorrhage; although doctors operated to stop the bleeding that evening, they were unable to wake her afterward. Carolyn had slipped into a coma, and scans showed very little brain activity. Waiting for their mother to come home were five-year-old Jody and his sister, Becky. Carolyn, Julia, Jody, and Becky didn’t know it yet, but their lives had changed forever.

After months in limbo, Jody and Becky were still asking for their mother, and their grandmother was advised to tell them that Carolyn had died. After all, it was only a matter of time until the inevitable end came. Julia refused, and took Jody to see Carolyn in the hospital. What happened next marked the beginning of Carolyn’s journey back to her family.

Told by Jody, this is a remarkable story of how God works through loved ones to accomplish his will for us. If you have ever wondered how to make sense of tragedy or difficult circumstances, this will inspire you to discover God’s purpose behind it all. And if you have ever wanted to give up on the power of hope and love, be ready to have your faith renewed.

Searching for Spirituality is an introductory course on forty of the world’s most practiced or most misunderstood religions. Originally born out of author Robyn Lebron’s efforts to create a Christian education course for her husband’s congregation, this easy-to-follow reference guide to international religious beliefs is designed to reduce the fear and skepticism that often comes when we encounter belief systems different than our own, with the ultimate goal of promoting peace and spiritual unity throughout the world.

Covering a broad array of different faiths, from mainstream Christian denominations to Buddhism to Islam,

Searching for Spiritual Unity breaks down each religion into eleven categories to allow for easy comparative discussions: history, doctrine, God or gods, the role of Jesus Christ, worship practices, infant baptism or blessing, confirmation or initiation, marriage, death and afterlife, judgment, and any special doctrines. Also included are comparison charts that can be used as a quick "at a glance" reference.
