Cornelius Lindsey is married to Heather Lindsey, author of Pink Lips & Empty Hearts. Cornelius and Heather chose to save their very first kiss for their wedding day. They realized quickly that after their wedding day, there was still much that they had to learn about marriage God’s way. There are many examples of marriage, all around us, but many of those examples are not representative of the covenant union between Christ and the Church. This book is purposed to provide married couples with the biblical understanding of how to operate in their marriage, to provide a single person with insight on what marriage will be like for them, and to provide those that are divorced with insight on what they can do differently in their next marriage. In this book, you will be encouraged - Understand the connection between our Christian faith and family - Compare the “ideal” marriage to what actually happens in marriage - Learn about the relationship between you, your spouse, and God - Realize how to break free from feeling like a prisoner in your marriage - Learn what it means to be a submitted wife or a peace-making husband Also, read the tough, personal stories Cornelius shares about his marriage. Inside, he shares some intimate moments he and his wife experienced when a very tragic situation occurred that rocked their marriage to the core. You will be encouraged by what you read, and realize that you are not alone.
Prior to opening this book I never was under the impression that I was the cats meow or the dogs bow wow. But as I read these obviously Holy Spirit inspired pages, I felt it even more so. Cornelius took me down a path of humility of which I have never walked. Being a husband is so much more than meets the eye but with this book I not only took notes - I began implementing changes into my marriage right away. It was difficult to put this book down as it was as if I was being lectured by a sagacious older brother. This book has not only changed my mind set and marriage for the better. But my life will truly never be the same. Thank you Cornelius for being obedient and allowing God to use you as a vessel.
I enjoyed reading this book from a spiritual point of view. Cornelius stands firm on the principles of marriage and his style of writing is very simple. Sort of like he is "talking" with his reader. You have to track with him and just let the conversation carry you :-)
This book definitely purged my mind of some deeply held foolish beliefs that I previously had concerning the role of a husband. This brother plainly spells out what it takes to truly be a husband led by God.
