Book Review: The Marriage Devotional by Levi and Jennie Lusko

Levi and Jennie Lusko point readers to God's Word for wisdom and guidance in marital relationship, and rightly so--marriage is a precious blessing and gift from God, designed by Him for His glory. The Marriage Devotional is an encouraging and practical guide for couples to make their marriage grow richer, deeper, better, stronger, and funner (yes, it is a real word). Fifty-two devotions are organized into 12 parts. Some devotions are written by Levi; others are written by Jennie; and the rest are written by both of them. It is refreshing to get perspectives from both the husband and the wife, not just one side. Each devotion starts with a Bible verse and ends with a prayer. At the end of each devotion, you will also find some thought-provoking questions for reflection and discussion, or some conversation starters, or some ideas and action steps. There's a blank page for "love notes" at the beginning of each part.

The authors do not shy away from sensitive subjects such as submission, sex, finances, etc. I really appreciate their transparency, humility, and humor. I am also glad to see the gospel message clearly presented in the book. I highly recommend this God-centered, God-honoring devotional filled with Godly wisdom and insights. This book would make a meaningful wedding gift, anniversary gift, or Christmas gift for any couples in your life.

One quote that stood out to me is "The devil is like a shark who is always looking for prey. He knows that if you are a believer, he can't take you to hell; but if you let him, he can keep you from experiencing the joy of a healthy, thriving Christ-centered life and marriage." (p. 66)

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...
