Marriage is Hard (Susan Black)
$11.50Truths I Wish I Had Understood Before I Got Married
Don’t all of us who are married wish the same!
The title may sound like something obvious, but many wives are afraid – or too dreamy-eyed – to admit it. They go into marriage with absurdly high expectations of bliss, and when things begin to get tough, they wonder if they made a mistake – the wrong choice? They look around and think that everyone else’s marriage is full of non-stop joy and pleasure.
The reality is that all marriages are hard because they all have unavoidable and unanticipated challenges and trials. Marriage is hard because it is the union of two sinners engaged in the eternal battle between self-centeredness and servanthood, between living for self or dying to self. Marriages can flourish or die on this battlefield. But God is faithful, and He has a gracious plan of heart-transformation for any wife who will commit her way to Him.
Great for small group Bible Study. Study questions for each of the ten chapters.

Easy Chairs, Hard Words: Conversations on the Liberty of God (Douglas Wilson)
$9.75“Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens. You will say to me then, ‘Why still find fault, For who resisted His will?’ But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God?” (Romans 9:18-20a).
Easy Chairs, Hard Words offers an honest look at many such difficult passages in Scripture. Presented as a series of fictional conversations between a curious young Christian and a seasoned pastor, these dialogues speak with clarity to those new to the Reformed faith.
They begin with the question, “Can salvation be lost?” and from there wrestle with other hard-to-swallow doctrines, including the freedom of the will, election, and original sin. Hard words, and yet the understanding given these passages is thoughtful and gentle. For our God—the God of hard words—is a merciful and loving Father, slow to wrath and quick to pardon, a triune God who graciously rescues men from death and brings them into everlasting life.
