The christian lover - the sweetness of love and marriage in the letters of believers

Marriage is under attack now more than ever. Even within the church, homosexuality, divorce, and shallow, sentimental views of love are attempting to challenge God’s design for husbands and wives. To help Christian couples counter these trends and recover marriage as God intended it, Dr. Michael A.G. Haykin has compiled a rich anthology of love letters from saints of the past. Each letter gives us a glimpse of what marriage should be: joyful companionship, deep passion, and unfailing commitment through the ups and downs of life. At its best, Christian marriage is a foretaste of eternal bliss—and it’s far more satisfying than any of the substitutes this world has to offer.

Michael Haykin never ceases to surprise with his gift for producing unusual books on neglected aspects of church history. Here he gives his readers insights into the love lives of some of the great saints of the past, bringing out their humanity in touching and unique ways. An unusual book, certainly, but well worth reading. --Dr. Carl R. Trueman: Professor of Historical Theology and Church History Westminster Theological Seminary Philadelphia, PA
