A propos du livre

Book Description

Bible-Based Insights for Modern Marriages

The old paradigms for marriage have changed, but most counseling guides haven’t changed with them. Love Extravagantly is written especially for today’s couples—and for friends, counselors, and pastors who need new advice for communicating biblical truth to them.

Recognizing that marriages today don’t look like the traditional marriages of the past, Marita and Chuck show how loving extravagantly is the only way to make a marriage work well. Stories from couples who’ve experienced the issues are presented alongside the authors’ own life experiences. As well, professional counselors provide unique advice that make this an inspirational, easy-to-read, and practical guide for today’s modern marriages. And it’s all based on timeless scriptural principles.

From Publishers Weekly

When a book's introductory chapter poses the question, "Is it possible that there is no one right way to develop one's spiritual life?" you have to assume the target audience has encountered some spiritual bullies along the way. This book by Littauer, a professional speaker, is a pop-psychology spiritual pep talk for evangelical Christians who need to understand that spirituality can include variety. Drawing from her own feeling that she was, at times "doing it wrong, " Littauer has developed a personality test and four "types" for identification, so that Christians can find their fit in spiritual practices. She uses Hippocrates' four basic chemical types; there's the "Popular Sanguine," the "Powerful Choleric," the "Perfect Melancholy" and the "Peaceful Phlegmatic." Much like other typologies popular in church circles—Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram—all Littauer's types feature strengths and weaknesses. She also "types" Jesus, who, not surprisingly, is the perfect balance of all four categories. This book will be helpful for evangelical Christians who feel out of sync with the usual devotional practices being promoted in their churches. It will hold little interest for those Christians who already accept that there are many paths to a deeper relationship with God and need no new typologies to persuade them.
