Review of Amazing Grace for Married Couples

by Jeff Cavins, Matthew Pinto, Patti Armstrong

This remarkable collection of "12 Life-Changing Stories of Renewed Love," portrays the varied experiences of twelve couples whose marriages could never have survived without both spouses having a change of heart. The voices of each husband and wife describe every possible attack against marriage. Situations of affairs among the rich and the poor; addictions to alcohol, drugs, pornography, and gambling, are fascinating in their suspense.

What is so amazing is the way God provided his grace through friends, priests and personal inspiration to give these husbands and wives hope. They came to a point where they must choose to follow their human drives and be miserable, lonely and divorced or accept God’s plan for marriage as a covenant with him that leads to real happiness.

The hard work of rebuilding these marriages sometimes meant changing careers, relocating, downsizing their lifestyle, going against the advice of friends and parents, and periods of separation. Always these sacrifices ultimately brought the couple closer to the Lord and to one another. God’s grace gave them the perseverance to deal with their own emotions, finances, faith crises and with their heartbroken children.

These frank and personal fast-paced stories are affirming to those in fulfilling marriages, helpful to those in mediocre marriages and vital to those in failing marriages. They give hope and real proof that God can work an astonishing revitalization in any marriage with his amazing grace.
