Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas
What if God designed marriage to make you holy, not happy? This powerful book by Gary Thomas explores the idea that the most powerful and sometimes most difficult relationship here on earth is about bringing glory to God.
I am not sure if this is the right site for contacting author Gary Thomas but trust it shall reach you/him with this very important letter of request below:
Subject: Couple Loses Everything to fire in CO.
Dear Gary Thomas Ministries, I am writing this on behalf of my children:
Having gone through a very devastating divorce in 1998 my dtr & son in law were re-married in 1999 almost 10 years ago . Obviously from ongoing prayer :). They have since been blessed with 2 more beautiful dtrs, 16 mos. and 4 yrs. (they'd previously had a son who is now 18 yrs. old.) Because of much prayer counsel and in allowing God to bring hope back into their marriage God has since placed a desire within their hearts to work with other struggling couples. Along with this desire they also have a vision to establish a marriage ministry retreat place to be built on a piece of property they'd purchased in CO.
Unfortunately they recently lost what they had begun to build structurally towards this ministry center along with everything they personally owned to fire. During this interim they'd moved June 2008, along with all their household & personal belongings they had to the CO. area from MN. believing (and still do) that God has called them to build the ministry retreat place on this CO location. Their library alone had consisted of many books, CD's and other helpful resource materials of which unfortunately were all destroyed as well in the fire.
My reason for this contact is to ask if there could be any possibility that your ministry would be able to bless them (or at minimal cost to them) with some of your books in particular the book The Sacred Marriage, amongst any of your other useful and insightful teaching materials which you think would be of benefit for them personally and for ministering with other couples?
I think this consideration would encourage them immensely. I am including their address along with their email address for your response: kevin@mountainhavenmarriageministry.com or phone 763-286-2572
