The Truth is Hard to Swallow

Dennis Rainey's compilation of Christian authors is brought together very well. The content is so needed for the Christian who wants to make a difference in their home and in their marriage. With a penchant for honesty and thorough research, this book delivers, in each chapter, a feast for thought and self evaluation. The intellectual approach to challeneging the Christian reader makes this book work better than 90% of the books I have read on this topic. The blending of the intellectual challenge, the practical application, and bibical foundation makes this book. He starts by assessing the greatest challenges facing the family and then leads the reader to a biblical explanation for these challenges. The remainder of the book provides specifics for the husband and the wife in strengthening the marriage and raising masculine sons and feminine daughters. If you do not have a Christ-centered life, you might feel as though this book is like climbing Mt. Everest without training for the climb. With that said, it is a "must" read in my opinion, but is suited best for matured Christians.
