Of Knights and Fair Maidens by Jeff & Danielle Myers $13.50 | Hardcover | 122 pages | Grace and Truth Books OUR PRICE: $9.75 An old favorite, back in print in a new hardcover edition! This was one of our most requested Out of Print books for years - and now available again! Jeff and Danielle were determined to do things differently. So, before the era of "True Love Waits" or the writing of I Kissed Dating Goodbye, they interviewed married couples to discover the keys to a successful courtship. They applied these principles in their own relationship and later, wrote this humorous, heart-warming book. 15 years later, they have re-released an updated version of this classic, which has given tens of thousands of young couples honest and straightforward counsel about the best way to prepare for marriage. "Jeff and Danielle prove that God's plan for relationships is not out of date or old-fashioned - it's for the adventurous, courageous and most importantly, romantic Christian single who wants God's best in relationships and marriage." -- Joshua Harris, Senior Pastor, Covenant Life Church, Gaithersburg, MD and author of I Kissed Dating Goodbye and Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship.

Courtship, Engagement, and Marriage: Sex, Marriage and Family in John Calvin's Geneva by John Witte Jr, Robert Kingdon $32.00 | Paperback | 512 pages | Eerdmans Publishing OUR PRICE: $23.50 You wouldn't expect it, from the dour reputation he has with many of his critics, but John Calvin's teaching truly transformed the Western understanding of sex, marriage and family life. In this fascinating volume, Witte and Kingdon treat comprehensively the new theology and laws of domestic life that Calvin and his fellow reformers established in 16th century Geneva. Bringing to light and life hundreds of newly discovered cases and theological texts, the authors trace the historical forms on these subjects that still shape us today. "Give a new generation a monograph on Calvinist views of sex, marriage, and family, and you may catch their minds for a day. But give them a multi-volume edition of the same subjects in superb translations and you start up new schools of scholarship. With this first volume on courtship, engagement and marriage, Witte and Kingdon are teaching a new generation how to fish in Geneva." -- Steven Ozment. Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:
