Customer Reviews

FOR SINGLES to READ TOO!

Wow! Wish I had read this 25 years ago. I've read almost every relationship book out there and this is the best one I have read in TEN YEARS about REAL LIFE RELATIONSHIPS. Some of my non-Christian friends or Christian-Lite friends wouldn't read it at first because it was written by a Pastor and has biblical references. But...I don't care if a Rabbai, Priest, Monk or Pastor wrote this...the advice in itself is priceless! A wake up call to all Singles before getting into a relationship. Wanna know why you or your partner broke your marriage vows to each other? Read this! I enjoyed the stories, analogies,advice, and realities of what it takes to have a REAL RELATIONSHIP in TODAY's world. My fiance' who HATES TO READ...was reading this book faster than me. And that is truly a miracle in itself!

Advice from experience

Whether you're more in love today than you were on your wedding day 30 years ago, or if you're struggling through a painful marriage headed for divorce, there is something in this book for you. Our Secret Paradise provides practical advice, straightforward challenge, and spiritual encouragement for couples to fight for their marriage, no matter how good or bad the relationship is. The author's advocacy comes from the battle for his own marriage on the brink of divorce, which he openly and humbly shares in this book. Since then, his 25 years as a marriage counselor, pastor, seminar speaker, and co-host of a 30-minute television program on marriage, adds to his credibility on the subject. Jimmy Evans believes the #1 reason for divorce is disappointment. This book will help new couples form the foundation of their relationship with the right set of expectations. It will also help seasoned couples to spotlight their expectations in order to find peace and purpose in their marriage. "When a couple begins to honor marriage as a spiritual relationship, true intimacy will occur." According to Jimmy Evans', it is crucial to understand that Satan intends to destroy marriage; God intends paradise. The real enemy in a troubled time is Satan, not each other. With God's authority and power to defeat, the Christian couple must fight for each other and their marriage. "Without exception, the husbands and wives who discover paradise in their marriages are the ones who have a willingness to be healers to their spouses and who allow their spouses to be healers to them. They are the ones who discover that they have been given in marriage to each other as part of the healing process that all people need."
