Plowshares and Pruning Hooks: Rethinking the Language of Biblical Prophecy and Apocalyptic – D. Brent Sandy:

If God Is Good – Randy Alcorn

The Mystery of Marriage – Mike Mason

From an online review: “I really enjoyed reading this book. It painted a very different, but yet real picture of the marital relationship and how it parallels our own personal relationship with Almighty God. I wish more people had an understand of what it truly means to love someone. We would have a lower divorce rate.
This book has challenged me in my own marriage. On a daily basis it causes me to reflect on whether or not I am loving my wonderful husband or if I am protecting myself and seeking my own desires. In a culture where we are taught to only think about our personal happiness, this book is a breath of fresh air. Every married couple or someone thinking about marriage should definitely read this book.”
