I Still Do


Book Description

Lasting marriages are built one defining moment at a time. The moment of blame. The moment of weakness. When your spouse suffers. When dreams disappoint. When the kids leave the nest. It's how we think and behave toward one another in moments like these that determines whether our marriage endures or falters. Ultimately, these are invitations from God to consider our direction and pursue transformation. With 37 years of marriage and 33 years of pastoring under his belt, Dave Harvey has identified those life-defining moments of a post-newlywed marriage. He wants to help couples recognize them in their own relationships so that they can take a proactive, godly approach to resolving conflicts, holding one another up as change inevitably happens, and ensuring that their marriage survives and thrives. Whether your relationship is maturing gracefully, just needs a tune-up, or you and your spouse are locked in conflict and your future seems uncertain, Dave Harvey has encouragement and practical tools to help strengthen what remains and build a rock-solid union for the days to come.

How do we keep saying "I do" and not "I don't" or "I can't"? Life can be hard, but our marriages don't have to be. Sharing their own story of difficulty and coming face to face with the reality of each vow, Che and Shireen share how their dependence on God kept them saying "I do" through each season of marriage. With God on their side, their marriage was made stronger. Just as strongly as they repeated the words "I do" on a beautiful June day seven years ago, they still say "I do" today-and you can too!

The Book of St John


Book Description

'The Book of St John is too witty to be a manifesto, but it is a sturdy invocation of the need for comfort, generosity and ritual at the table. And it is a gurglingly delightful compendium of - quite simply - delicious ideas and stories' Nigella Lawson 'An unutterable joy from the team behind one of the most influential and important restaurants in Britain ... This is much more than a book of recipes, though (glorious as they are). It’s also about the importance of the table, of feasting, of friendship, of the white cloth napkin on your knee. And it sings of simple but wonderful pleasures: a bacon sandwich and a glass of cider, a doughnut and a glass of champagne.’ Diana Henry, The Telegraph 'The Book of St. JOHN, part food gospel, part memoir, part recipe book.' Observer Food Monthly Join the inimitable Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver as they welcome you into their world-famous restaurant, inviting you to celebrate 25 years of unforgettable, innovative food.

Recipes include: Braised rabbit, mustard and bacon Ox tongue, carrots and caper sauce Duck fat toast Smoked cod’s roe, egg and potato cake Confit suckling pig shoulder and dandelion The Smithfield pickled cucumbers St. JOHN chutney Butterbean, rosemary and garlic wuzz Honey and bay rice pudding Featuring all the best-loved seminal recipes as well as comprehensive menus and wine recommendations, Fergus and Trevor will take a look back at the ethos and working practices of a food dynasty that has inspired a generation of chefs and home cooks.

This book is a systematic guide to help couples find answers to make their marriage better and become stronger followers of Christ in the process. It is a great resource for pastors and Christian counselors. I have been married to my beautiful wife, Angie, since 1980. We have two wonderful sons. One was born in 1982 and the other was born in 2002. The information we share has come from our search to find answers in God's Word, the Bible, as we have worked our way through the ups and downs of life. These are tried and true principles that can rescue or strengthen any marriage. We have enjoyed many of the joys of life including: the newness of being married, the excitement of having children, the joy of moving into new homes, the adventure of church planting, and receiving God's miraculous provision and healing on more than a few occasions. We have also experienced a lot of difficult circumstances including: financial difficulty, grueling work schedules, career changes, medical scares, miscarriages, heartache about not being able to have more children, extended family complications, re- starting a church while working a full time job, enduring the near death of our youngest son at birth, and dealing with 39 days of his being in the NICU. You see, we have not lived a life free from ups and downs. We have lived a real life together filled with many of the stressors that encourage couples to divorce, but with God's help we are still together and we still do...love each other more than ever. We look forward to sharing the principles we have learned with you!
