Glorious Union: Flourishing in Marriage and Ministry
This is not a book about marriage nor is it a book about ministry; rather this book is focused uniquely on the union of marriage and ministry.
These two areas can both be glorious, but all too often can be areas of difficulty, trial and sin. We can sometimes fail to take an honest look at our marriages and ministries because admitting we need help feels weak and change can seem impossible.
In this inherently practical book, Adrian and Celia Reynolds share wisdom they have gleaned through their experience of both marriage and ministry. They write honestly, compassionately and with a desire to sees lives changed by the gospel. This isn’t just a book to read, but a workbook with exercises to complete with your spouse that will help you see afresh the glory and privilege of being called to both marriage and ministry.

A good little book with some helpful pointers and things to think and pray about when it comes to the unique privileges and pressures of marriage and ministry. Definitely one to read, talk and pray through with your spouse.

The latest little book in the Hub series from 10ofThose and the FIEC that has floated across my field of vision is the intriguing Glorious Union: Flourishing in marriage and ministry, by Adrian and Celia Reynolds. Today I’m writing my fairly short review. It should be noted throughout that whilst the book is written from a broadly complementarian perspective (That generally assumes ‘ministry’ means the man is in some form of paid Christian work) this book is not too contrsained by that perspective, and so is useful for anyone wondering how marriage and ministry can go hand in hand.

A brief, but helpful, book considering different aspects of marriage and ministry. It is designed to be used as a workbook for both husband and wife to read and discuss together, although it still has some useful things to consider if reading on your own. The Reynolds are realistic, and acknowledge that the precise pattern of life for all couples in ministry will look different to one another, but recognises the fact that at lease one of you is engaged in ministry will effect your marriage in some ways. A useful resource for reviewing ministry life, and starting conversations.
