Book Description

April 1 2005
Author Amy J. Tol dreamed of planning her wedding since she was a little girl. But when that time finally arrived, she found, as many future brides do, that the actual preparations can be overwhelming. When this happens, Christian brides just long for a little spiritual guidance.
They'll find it in this book. Amy now offers brides-to-be a wedding planner that not only gives practical ideas and advice, but also presents spiritual reflections on what it means to be a bride of God. Here all future brides have the unique opportunity to think about God's character, their faith, and their heart. As a result, they will be less frazzled and more focused, spiritually and emotionally, as they plan for their wedding and the new life that follows.

From the Inside Flap

FRONT FLAP

"As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you."-Isaiah 62:5

Your engagement presents a unique opportunity for you to think about the character of your God, your faith, and your heart. More than a collection of checklists and worksheets, The Bride's Handbook offers spiritual reflections to help you become a bride of love, loyalty, humility, honesty, patience, and peace. From love and transformation to contentment and generosity, the character traits described in this book will help prepare you for the rest of your life. Because when it comes to a marriage, the wedding is just the beginning.

BACK FLAP

After her wedding four years ago, Amy J. Tol recognized the need for a book that would not only address the plans whirling through a bride's mind but would also speak to the bride's heart. With memories of her own engagement still fresh in her mind, she began writing The Bride's Handbook, hoping to share some of the spiritual and practical insights she gained from her bridal experience.

Before writing this book, Amy worked as a freelance writer and helped develop online projects for several nonprofit organizations. Today, she is the youth director at her church. She lives in Holland, Michigan, with her husband, Brian.

Your engagement is one of the most exciting times of your life. And it can also be one of the most stressful. From setting the date and making the guest list to choosing attendants and booking a photographer, it's difficult to find a peaceful moment with your fiancé, let alone spend quiet time with God.

The Bride's Handbook is a wedding planner that not only gives practical ideas and advice but also presents spiritual reflections on what it means to be a bride of God. Inside you'll find everything from planning checklists and cost-cutting tips to scriptural encouragement and applicable stories from brides in the Bible.

This planner is designed to give you more than just a beautiful wedding. It's also designed to help you become a beautiful bride emotionally and spiritually. As you keep your wedding plans under control, you'll find yourself feeling less frazzled and more focused. And that's just where you need to be as you plan not just a ceremony and reception but also a Christ-centered marriage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book! Oct 15 2010
Format:Paperback
I really enjoyed this book. My mom bought it for me when I got engaged. Not only did it have insightful tips for planning a wedding. But it was very helpful in being a Christian Bride and what sets you apart from other brides and marriages. I have then sent this book on to other brides since.

Worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful devotional and planner April 4 2007
By Laura Kalemkarian - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I bought this book when I was planning my wedding and recently purchased it for a friend who is getting married. I was looking for a Christian devotional for brides or a wedding planner that focused on faith and not just the details of planning and this handbook was perfect. Amy Tol offers wonderful planning advice and ideas and the devotions were just what I needed. The devotions are based on different characteristics that a bride should possess and they bookend the chapters. I tried to read one devotion or planning section a day and had to stop myself from rushing through it because it was such an enjoyable and helpful read. I highly recommend this book and it makes a wonderful gift for someone newly engaged!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for brides to keep focused on what is really important Jan 19 2009
By Irene Wu - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I was recommended this book by another bride and I would highly recommend it. I wanted to get it because I felt like my mind was getting too preoccupied with planning and logistics while forgetting God and the spiritual aspect to a wedding and marriage. I have been reading 1 chapter a week. Each chapter includes a reflection taken from a Bible passage and a section that gives practical advice for wedding planning. I like the balance of both. I plan to give mine away after my wedding to a newly engaged friend!
