ÒChrist and the ChurchÓÊisÊa thirty-day devotional book for husbands and wives. It presentsÊthe commands and promises of God,ÊcallsÊto repentance and faith, followsÊthe pattern of the Word of God and prayer, and offersÊpractical suggestions according to what the Scriptures say about Christ and the Church in their union. Each day includes a writing on a particular aspect of marriage, a talking point, a prayer, and an activity.ÊWhileÊwritten for husbands and wives,Êthis bookÊcould easilyÊbe adapted to serve as a resource for premarital instruction.

ÒRev. Andrew Richard has put together a gift for the church. As fewer people speak about marriage in Scriptural ways, these devotions hearken back to traditional terms and once common Christian understandings. The language and writing is very approachable, the excerpts from the early church are real gems, and including hymnody helps this to be an ongoing resource for those married as well as those in preparation.Ó Ð Deaconess Mary J.
