5.0 out of 5 stars priceless perspective, Jun 15 2004

By

"matt4vols" (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Mystery of Marriage: Meditations on the Miracle (Paperback)

This is a gem, a true diamond in the rough among marriage books. With every chapter I finished, I would slowly lift my eyes, take a deep breath, and just stare off into space absorbing it all. It turns out that the mystery of marriage is in looking at it from God's perspective. (As David T. Moore would say, "perspective is priceless.") Once seen from God's perspective, marriage makes so much more sense and has so much more meaning. This is a book to be read, contemplated, prayed over, read aloud to one's spouse, and given as a gift to couples young and old.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal insights.... Phenomenally written, Aug 9 2003

By

Stephanie (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Mystery of Marriage: Meditations on the Miracle (Paperback)

WOW.... thank you Mike Mason! My fiance and I are reading this book together during our long-distance engagement and find that the insights are thoroughly enriching to our relationship. This book deals with the spiritual picture of marriage, absolutely no practical "do's and don'ts" here. There are no "how to's" or guidelines for having a successful marriage... and honestly, such information seems so surface compared to the richness and wealth offered by this book. Understanding and applying the truths presented here almost guarantees a joyful and harmonious marriage. the mystery of marriage unveils the bedrock of marriage and then causes it to glow! I look forward to reading this book out loud with my wonderful husband in the many delightful years to come. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Unexpected Treasure, Mar 22 2007

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mystery Of Marriage (Hardcover)

Most of the reviews here of this book are favourable. The one exception, I think, stemmed from unmet expections. I would simply suggest that if you are looking for something specifically about raising a family, you may find more success in a book that, by contrast, may be entitled "The Mystery of Parenting", for example. Mason here looks at the marriage union between a man and a woman, and delves deeper than anyone I know into the profound relational, physical, and spiritual aspects of the marriage union, and relates those to God's purpose for marriage as a uniquely designed covenant relationship between two persons, expressing love for one another. True, he does use a lot of adjectives, "word pictures" and, even waxes poetic at times. This is a book to be digested SLOWLY, but the effort will certainly pay off for the reader who disciplines himself/herself to know the mind of God and the purpose for which He both designed and blesses marriage even today!
