Putting the broken and lost in their place and proving them wrong is not the way to win their hearts for Christ. We can't expect those who have lost their way and living in sin to respond to a rebuking and discrediting dialogue. This will usually drive them further away from the church and make it harder to convince them that God's Kingdom is better than the destructive life Satan has promised them. They will see it as hatred toward them, at a time when they need love, acceptance, and kindness. People will not change without motivation and the origin of motivation is emotion. There has to be a connection with the heart, as well as the mind. There is no greater motivation to change for the better than giving someone hope. We all share the need for the hope of being all that we were created to be. In writing "Rescued by Love," the author's prayer and innermost desire is for God to use this book to give one of His greatest gifts to all who read it - the gift to see how no one is too far away or too far gone to be delivered and saved by the amazing, powerful love of our risen Savior, and how to wholeheartedly and effectively show that love to anyone and everyone

Why are there not more church families teaching couples how to pray together? Most evangelical churches have adult Sunday school classes or other adult classes which are designed to equip their members to serve in God's kingdom in whatever capacity God has called them to, and this is good wisdom. However, if a couple is never taught how to pray together, and the husband is never taught how to take the lead in all things concerning his marriage and family, including praying together, then it is likely that most married Christians may never reach the destiny that God has for them as a married couple. Unfortunately, many of these fine couples will eventually find themselves separated, and some even divorced. Satan has convinced many godly men that they don't have enough integrity to minister to their wives, or even to pray for them when they are with them. The great accuser will even convince these godly men, that they don't know enough to be the priests and spiritual leaders of their homes.He will bind them up in the fear that they will say or do the wrong thing when they are ministering to their wives or families, and it will make them look ignorant or inexperienced. If this describes the way you feel, or you just want to be better at your assignment as the priest and spiritual leader of your home, and be able to confidently minister to and pray with your wife, then the powerful truths in this little book will lead you through the steps to do so In the beginning of this book you will learn what it means to be the priest and spiritual leader of your family and how important it is to the quality and longevity of your marriage to take the lead in making sure that there is a set time and quiet location that you and your wife can comfortably and humbly sit down and pray together. In chapter three you will be given a short but powerful sample prayer for your wife's health that will allow you to start praying for her at an easy and comfortable pace. In chapter four you will be given a short, powerful sample prayer to add to your daily prayer time for your wife's protection. In the remaining chapters you will learn about and be given prayers for your wife's favor, her sleep and dreams, your marriage, your children, unborn children and grandchildren, your home, your finances, and your future. The author's heart for this book is that you and your wife may experience the life changing power of praying together that, through Jesus Christ, will strengthen your marriage beyond your wildest dreams

Start now Don't wait one more day Be the great leader and spiritual leader for your family that God created you to be Never before has it been more important for husbands and dads to prepare themselves for Satan's inevitable schemes and attacks on them and their family.
