Marriage and the Counsel of God: Workbook

Marriage and the Counsel of God is the product of over 22 years of biblical study and pastoral counseling. Michael Eschelbach’s text and accompanying workbook have proven themselves effective tools for helping couples prepare for marriage, supporting those already married, and redeeming failing marriages. The text uses clear, nontechnical, and engaging language as it focuses on the biblical model for marriage. Following an outline of Lutheran beliefs—including the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, baptism, Holy Communion, and confession/absolution—Eschelbach considers the significance of the essential elements of these beliefs in the Christian life and in marriage in particular. Offering a wealth of helpful insights for pastors and counseling professionals, as well as for couples, he provides abundant Scripture references, as well as real-life anecdotes. These and other helpful resources are also given in indexes for quick reference.
