 Are you and your spouse looking for a way to serve God together?

The Braggs have written Your Marriage God’s Mission with step-by-step lessons to learn what your mission is and how to protect it.

This book is full of helpful information, links to videos, prayers and questions, to help discover the mission for your marriage.  They have also filled this book with their experiences and that of others.

About the Authors-

Clint and Penny A. Bragg work as marriage missionaries through their nonprofit organization, Inverse Ministries.  The website is www.inverseministries.org.  

My thoughts-

I thought this book was well written and the only one I’ve ever read about having a mission for your marriage.

I liked having the QR codes in the book, but I do not have a reader.  I really liked how the website was easy to find in the book.  The videos were labeled by chapter and easy to view.  I really liked that.  They were also well done.  If you aren’t able to watch the videos, they were just the icing on the the cake, everything important is covered in the book.

I really liked how this book was written for both men and women, many of the marriage books I have seen are either for the man or the woman.  I also have never read a book that focused on building a specific mission for a marriage. 

All parts of this book were important from the introduction that said how the book was set up to the questions at the end of each chapter.  I liked this book and what it can do to help marriages.

This is a book I recommend to all married couples who want to strengthen their marriage and have a goal with God in mind.

A Spiritual Heritage by Glen and Ellen Schuknecht (Book Review!)

A Spiritual Heritage: Connecting Kids and Grandkids to God and Family

(received in exchange for an honest review)

Copyrighted- 2017

Number of pages- 180

Age Group- Adult

Description of book- paperback, listed price- $13.99, ISBN 978-0-8254-4483-8

Do you desire to build a spiritual heritage for your children and family for years to come?  Do you know what spiritual heritage is? 

In A Spiritual Heritage you’ll learn what spiritual heritage from God is, how to become connected, and courage to stand for what you believe as a family.

About the Authors-

Ellen Schuknecht is the director of Family Wings, head of family ministries at Veritas Academy, and a national speaker.  Glen Schuknecht speaks and consults for Family Wings and ws the head of student discipleship and discipline and Veritas Academy.  They currently live in Texas.

My thoughts-

I appreciated this book.  I know how important it is to have a spiritual heritage to have a strong family that’s always there for one another and others outside of the family.  The Schuknechts did a good job of dividing the book into three parts to cover all parts of becoming a family with a strong spiritual heritage.  The parts talked about creating the atmosphere, choosing and implementing the characteristics, and even more tools to put into place to make a family stronger.

I learned it’s important to stick what you know and to never waver.  When you want to have a powerful family you need prayer, faith, and to follow God no matter.

I think this book would have been great if there had been a summary at the end of each chapter and questions or action steps.

This book is good for families who want to be more connected with each other and God.  Please pick up a copy today!
