Power of Commitment : A Guide to Active, Lifelong Love - Scott M. Stanley,
Gary Smalley
What is commitment and what's so scary about it?
How can we better understand and appreciate the value of commitment and make it
last—for a lifetime? In his new book, Scott Stanley, best-selling marriage expert,
reveals that the secret ingredient for finding lasting love is understanding commitment.
Too often, men and women find themselves in half-committed, Maybe I Do, relationships
that lead to frustration, sadness, and, in many cases, divorce. But it doesn't
have to be this way. Scott Stanley offers a five-step plan—based on his groundbreaking
marital research and uniquely spiritual approach—for understanding commitment,
including learning to handle the pressures of everyday life, moving through the
pain of unfulfilled dreams and hopes, overcoming attraction to others that might
endanger a marriage, transforming your thinking from "me versus you" to "we" and
"us," and capturing the beauty and mystery of lifelong devotion, loyalty, teamwork,
and building a lasting vision for the future. "Nobody is more qualified to write
this book than Dr. Scott Stanley." —Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, Seattle Pacific
University; authors, Love Talk "This book should be mandatory reading for dating,
engaged, newlywed, and not-so-newlywed couples. Bravo!" —Michele Weiner-Davis,
author, Divorce Busting and The Divorce Remedy |

Me : The Single Adult's Guide to Spiritual Journey
- Harold Ivan Smith
"I am one single adult," Smith writes,
"on an intense journey to a destination called wholeness, trying to make
sense of a wonderful reality, modeled by a Galilean single adult who said, 'I
come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.'" |

| Singling:
A New Way to Live the Single Life - John R. Landgraf
For a change, a book that addresses the real needs and situations
of singles today. Quite a few testimonials and singles' stories are interspersed
with the advice, some of which are very funny just on their own merits. I found
especially helpful the advice on dealing with parents and on sexual issues. The
author does not take a backwards, unrealistic view; rather proposes intelligent,
thoughtful, open-minded Christian solutions. A Godsend, this title.

Call to the Single Adult - Michael Cavanaugh
The book made me cry time and again as I recognized my selfish attitudes
about my singleness. I now realize that being single is a unique opportunity to
get to know God better, free from distractions. And for those of you who, like
me, thought it was a book for people who expect to remain single for the rest
of their lives, it is not. But it will help you to be content, whatever your situation.
It will help you to realize what God's purpose is for your life, and it will bring
you peace and joy and hope for the future. |
