My Marriage Book
In 2018 I wrote Get Married and Save the World, a book purposed to provide a basic biblical guide to marriage, along with practical advice, personal experience, and a discussion of the theology that goes along with marriage. It was published in spring 2019, and I am putting the entire book, with some extra edits, online for free in spring 2020.
I want this message to reach my brothers in Christ, since marriage in the Church is greatly damaged, harming the witness to salvation that it is meant to be. I want the brethren to be able to hear the truth. I want them to hear the simple biblical teachings they will not be hearing from their pastors because pastors have long since stopped standing with the truth. Nothing in this book is new, but much is almost unheard of today. That’s why I wrote it.

Interviews
I’ve done various interviews about Get Married and Save the World, both with Christian radio stations and Christian journalists and bloggers. Unfortunately the first I ever did, which I think was very strong, got lost when the station went under new management:

Marriage Course: Writing the book has also encouraged me to reach out to restore the Church in other ways. Since late Summer 2019 I’ve been giving Marriage Guidance and Mentorship classes for couples soon to be married, or newly married. So far one couple has joined, and I look forward to seeing their wedding in September 2020. The course, like the book, is centered on the main teaching passages on marriage, and studies the main elements of marriage from Holy Scripture. I also offer personal advice and share personal experiences to offer guidance and support.
While I am the one to teach the course, my wife helps out when she has time, and can offer personal care to the women, and answer any questions about her experience as a wife and mother. I believe the course will be a blessing to whomever joins, although I know there are many who already know these truths, or have good examples close to home. I develop the course for those who have not been fully trained, and for those who need positive Christian examples of the home life.
