Reviews
"The Mingling of Souls: God's Design for Love, Marriage, Sex & Redemption - Matt Chandler with Jared C. Wilson. The scope of this book runs from the beginning to the end of a relationship. Starting with attraction, Chandler works his way through each phase of romantic relationships: attraction, dating, courtship, wedding, sex, fighting, romance, and commitment. Overall Chandler gives a balanced, Biblical, and practical take on dating, marriage, and beyond. In the chapter on marriage ("Wedding Bells") Chandler says this: "I just see no reason to agree with the worldly romantic notion that every person has just one 'soul mate' out there waiting for him or her. Chandler's distinction between dating and courtship is also extremely helpful. He spells it out this way: dating is the "get to know you" phase of the relationship, and courtship is the "let's head toward marriage" phase of the relationship. Another strong point of the book is the dealing with marriage being a representation of Christ and the Church. Chandler also does a good job of not leave things in the theoretical sphere, but also offers practical advice throughout the book."
"This book walks the reader through God’s wisdom revealed through Solomon for relationship pursuit and marital bliss."
"Absolutely loved this booked and followed it with the video study."
"Matt Chandler speaks with a candid view on dating, sex, and marriage, and doesn't shy away from the messiness or the humor."
"This was a great breakdown of the Songs that put things in perspective for me in regards to relationships."
"This book has helped me tremendously to deal with my own issues and make me willing to make this marriage work."
"I've never thought to approach the Song of Songs like Matt has in this book, the ways he interprets this mysterious book is very insightful!"
"This book reminds us that marriage is about serving God together to bring us to a more holy, serving place in our lives."

The Sermon on the Mount: The Key to Success in Life
Emmet Fox, author of "The Sermon on the Mount: The Key to Success in Life" was a New Thought spiritual leader of the early 20th century, famous for his large Divine Science church services held in New York City. Denying any interest in theology (there is no theology in the Bible, Fox argues), the author instead suggests that what Jesus was after was results: "Jesus explains to us what the nature of God is, and what our own nature is; tells us the meaning of life and of death; shows us why we make mistakes; why we yield to temptation; why we become sick, and impoverished, and old; and, most important of all, he tells us how all these evils may be overcome, and how we may bring health, happiness, and true prosperity into our lives." Fox puts it quite simply: "The Truth turns out to be nothing less than the amazing but undeniable fact that the whole outer world--whether it be the physical body, the common things of life, the winds and the rain, the clouds, the earth itself--is amenable to man's thought, and that he has dominion over it when he knows it."

"My mother use to tell me to read the Book of Enoch all the time but I never listened to her. She was well read, overly intelligent to the point where no one really could talk to her about the BIble or the history except Cardinals which really didn't talk about the Book of Enoch but knew of it."
