Growthtrac insidetrac, Life Changing Marriage Resources

The Complete Guide to Marriage Mentoring

Just released: A hands-on resource that covers the basics of marriage mentoring. Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott's The Complete Guide to Marriage Mentoring

This is a resource for marriage mentoring in a church setting, with a wealth of resources and tools.

This book is the first in a series of products — DVD's, workbooks, etc. — on the topic of marriage mentoring to be released between now and January.

A great way for your church to get on board with this life-changing ministry!

Check out my (Jim) contribution (page 197) on the Evangelism Factor.  Good stuff..

SEX 180

Here's a book worth checking out: Sex180 by Chip Ingram. I believe it hits the book stores tomorrow.

If you lead a youth group, if you're a parent, if you know someone struggling with purity -- this is the book they need.

(The audience is highschool through twenty-something)

This is a book that goes beyond traditional answers and speaks to a culture that's tired of the old "just wait 'til you're married" ...

Intimacy Ignited

Want to explore creative lovemaking ideas based on the bible? Intimacy Ignited is the secret to a more passionate marriage. My wife Sheri says, if this doesn't fan the flames, nothing will! Sounds like an endorsement to me.

Based on the Song of Songs, Intimacy Ignited shows couples how to fire-up and maintain the flames of passionate marriage. Check it out.

Books I'm Reading

Publishers send us (Growthtrac) lots of books to review and promote. Here are two titles that stand out from the crowd.

From the Steven Arterburn "every man" series, Every Man's Marriage
Guys, this is a must-read. Whether you are a husband or planning to be one, this book will help you grasp and apply key principles related to biblical authority, submission, and servanthood... Basics a lot of us don't do well.

Not a new book, Dr. James Dobson's Love Must Be Tough offers guidance that gives you the best chance of saving your marriage. Communication, drawing boundaries, rekindling romance, tough love... Excellent.
