Christ and the Church: A thirty-day devotion concerning the Holy Estate of Marriage, particularly addressing those whom God has placed into it

by Andrew Richard

“Christ and the Church” is a thirty-day devotional book for husbands and wives. It presents the commands and promises of God, calls to repentance and faith, follows the pattern of the Word of God and prayer, and offers practical suggestions according to what the Scriptures say about Christ and the Church in their union. Each day includes a writing on a particular aspect of marriage, a talking point, a prayer, and an activity. While written for husbands and wives, this book could easily be adapted to serve as a resource for premarital instruction. The second edition includes some updates and was produced for Amazon's self-publishing platform.

Forgot to mark this as finished. Excellent devotions in a digestible format and size. Nice and cheap for most any pastoral situation. Excellent resources as appendices in the back. Very interactive.

The one pitfall is that, like any young confessional Lutheran who is excited about the books he’s reading can get, the language sometimes becomes a bit grandiose and the content a little too serious for something (marriage) that should remain joyful.

Excellent, excellent marriage devotional. My wife and I loved it.
