Happy is good. Holy is better.
Your marriage is more than a sacred
covenant with another person. It is a
spiritual discipline designed to help
you know God better, trust him more
fully, and love him more deeply. What
if God’s primary intent for your mar-
riage isn’t to make you happy . . . but
holy?
Sacred Marriage doesn’t just offer
techniques to make a marriage hap-
pier. It does contain practical tools, but
what married Christians most need is
help in becoming holier husbands
and wives. Sacred Marriage offers
that help with insights from Scripture,
church history, time tested wisdom
from Christian classics, and examples
from today’s marriages.
Sacred Marriage reveals how mar-
riage trains us to love God and others
well, how it exposes sin and makes us
more aware of God’s presence, how
good marriages foster good prayer,
how married sex feeds the spiritual
life, and more. The revised edition of
Sacred Marriage takes into account
the ways men’s and women’s roles
have expanded since the book was
first written.
It has been streamlined to be a faster
read without losing the depth that so
many readers have valued. Sacred
Marriage uncovers the mystery of
God’s overarching purpose. This book
may very well alter profoundly the
contours of your marriage.
It will most certainly change you. Be-
cause whether it is delightful or dif-
ficult, your marriage can become a
doorway to a closer walk with God,
and to a spiritual integrity that, like salt,
seasons the world around you with the
savor of Christ.

Ever wish parenting came with a do-
over button?
“Here’s where I messed up. . .”
Whenever I say those words during my
parenting workshops, you can hear a
pin drop. Parents are on the edges of
their seats.
“And here’s what I’d do differently next choosing to listen to her motherly intui-
time. . .”
That’s when every pen in the room be-
gins writing furiously.
Let’s face it. Hindsight is 20/20.
If you ever find yourself saying “I wish him different were the very things that
I had a do-over. . .” You’re not alone!
Join author and youth culture expert,
Jonathan McKee, as he shares from
his own personal parenting experi-
ences of raising three kids, while mak-
ing purposeful, effective tweaks along
the way. Delivered with a refreshing
blend of humor and vulnerability, the
author’s candid style and real-world
application will equip you with solid,
helpful practices you can actually use
in your own home.
With chapters like “Let It Go,” “Press
Pause,” and “Tip the Scales,” McKee
provides the honest answers you’re
seeking as you parent your kids.

From his early childhood, Nathan was
bursting with creativity and uncontain-
able energy, struggling not only with
learning issues but also with anxiety
and OCD.
He saw the world through his own
unique lens―one that often caused
him to be labeled as “bad,” “troubled,”
or someone in need of “fixing.” Bravely
tion rather than the loud voices of the
world, Sally dared to believe that Na-
than’s differences could be part of an
intentional design from a loving Crea-
tor with a plan for his life.
She trusted that the things that made
could make him great. Join Sally and
Nathan as they share their stories from
a personal perspective as mother and
son. If you are in need of help and
hope in your own journey with an out-
side-the-box child, or if you’re an adult
trying to make sense of your differenc-
es, you’ll find deep insight, resonance,
and encouragement in the pages of
this book.
