Marriage, What's The Point *Giveaway*

Marriage What's The Point by Jesse Birkey

About The Book:

What would happen if: You admitted that marriage hasn't been the answer for your loneliness, unfulfillment, insecurities and fear you hoped it would be? You've tried everything to fix your marriage and nothing has worked? You found out that you are just "existing" and not really living? You are desperate for revelation and a powerful testimony to draw encouragement from? You can't live one more day without a change? You found out there is a solution? How would your marriage be changed? How would your family be changed? How would you be transformed? Author Jesse Birkey will take you on a journey of personal tragedy that brought his whole world down around him. As Jesse lay in the ruins of everything he knew he began asking questions desperate for answers. As the smoke began to clear Jesse began to hear the small, still voice of the Holy Spirit telling him that his hope for restored marriage, and resurrected life, rested in his willingness to be transformed. It was then that Jesus picked Jesse up and set him on the path to freedom and life and they began walking hand in hand. Take the journey in "Marriage What's The Point?"

My Thoughts:

This was an interesting read for me. Not because I needed help in love or marriage, because I certainly don't. But besides the relationship between a married couple, this book helped me in some sense with grief. Which is probably not what it is really intended for.  It is also the story of one man's journey through something hard, and how he overcame it and everything worked out. A good read, even if you don't need marriage advice!

About The Author:

The son of a pastor, Jesse grew up in the church with an intellectual knowledge of God. As a teenager he faced the same struggles as everyone else especially in the area of acceptance. He married his school sweetheart, made a career as a firefighter/paramedic and had two beautiful children. His life was enviable and he found security in what he had until God allowed his most treasured relationship, his marriage, to be tested. The veil was pulled back and he was able to see himself as he was "poor, blind and naked".  He came to the revelation that he needed a relationship with God and not a religion. He made a choice to die to himself, sacrificing his own selfish desires and learned to walk in obedience to God. God restored his marriage, but even more started him on a journey of understanding true love and intimacy.  God has given Jesse a ministry of setting the captives free through Jesus Christ. He uses his website, www.marriagewhatsthepoint.com, as an outreach for the hurting and broken.
