This book will equip you with tools to protect the five fronts of spiritual battle: your relationship with God, your identity, your family and friends, your church, and the world.
Win Your War is a practical marriage, parenting, and relationship book that is grounded in the Word of God and focused on recognizing Satan’s role in your life. Mark and Grace Driscoll help you understand the power Jesus gives you to overcome the enemy’s attacks.
Mark and Grace Driscoll look at the nature of spiritual warfare in response to Adam and Eve. God has a kingdom where His people are governed by the Spirit. Satan has the world, where his people are governed by the flesh. Spiritual warfare is the battle between these two realities in everything, including our identity, temptation, gender, marriage, and emotional well-being. Some years ago Mark Driscoll preached on the Book of Genesis and discovered an unexpected theme about spiritual warfare that works itself out in all of human history: the storyline of the Bible is that there is first a wedding and then a war. Satan did not show up until a man and woman were married and had a ministry call on their lives. The first thing he did was attack marriage and separate men and women. After reading this book, you will uncover the five fronts of spiritual battle: your relationship with God, your identity, your family and friends, your church, and the world.
THE BIBLE IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO LEARN ABOUT SEX.
We are living in a time when the world receives sex as a god, and some churches reject sex as gross. Sadly, many people think the Bible has nothing useful to stay about our sex lives. Song of Songs is the most debated, controversial, and sensual book in the entire Bible. So is it any wonder so many pastors and Bible teachers ignore it? They think it is just too hot to handle. It is hot, but we must handle it. We need to learn about sex, but we must understand what God has to say about it.
In Real Romance: Sex in the Song of Songs, Mark and Grace Driscoll will tell you why it is time to put fun back into Christian fundamentals with exciting information about Bible-based, red-hot monogamy. You will find answers to important questions about sex and marriage, such as:
• Why is a sexually blunt, without blushing, book in the Bible?
• How does the Song of Songs apply to your sex life?
• How can an understanding of God’s Word give you hope, help, and healing in your marriage?
• How can you build your marriage and sex life on the Song of Songs?
• How can God turn a real marriage mess into a real romance?
Pastor Mark Driscoll and his wife, Grace, talk about sex and marriage in down-to-earth terms, hitting issues other Christian books won't. While a wonderful wedding day is important, it's the last day of marriage that really counts. Will the last day of your marriage come prematurely through divorce? Will it be filled with regrets as you sit at the funeral of your spouse? Or, by God's grace, will the last day be a time to rejoice in the life you lived together?
Pastor Mark Driscoll and his wife, Grace, want you to finish well on the last day. They share private and painful issues that damaged their own marriage-including his introduction to pornography in elementary school and her abuse as a teenager at the hands of a boyfriend-and how they overcame them to experience healing and joy with each other again.
Together they tackle the tough issues, such as:
Should I confess my pre-marital sexual sin to my spouse? Is it okay to have a "work husband/wife"? Can I say no to sex when I really do have a headache? What does the Bible say about masturbation and oral sex?
From fun date night tips to the most tricky "can we do that?" sex questions, Mark and Grace share practical help and hope with people just like them.
