Editorial Reviews
Review
--D. Z. Cofield, Senior Pastor, Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church
"I am so proud of Darrell and Cynthia Rose for their exceptional book. As long as I have known them, they have been providing effective counsel to others while glorifying God in their own marriage. Their book is immensely practical, thoroughly biblical, and deeply compassionate in how it confronts the challenges of marriage. Be sure to read it with an open Bible and a highlighter as well as a pen because the information in this book has the power to be used by God to transform the most miserable marriages for his glory."
--Joseph Parle, Provost and Senior Professor, College of Biblical Studies
"This interactive book can help you think in a deeper way about God and his principles for a Christ-honoring, fulfilling marriage. It is biblically based and practical, helpful both for those who are considering marriage and those who want to strengthen their marriage."
--Rich Thomson, author of The Heart of Man and the Mental Disorders
"Darrell and Cynthia Rose have skillfully written a marriage manuscript to help couples navigate through the minefields of disorder. . . . Darrell and Cynthia's experience, commitment to couples, and reliance on the Word of God have given them pearls of wisdom for those seeking to strengthen their relationships and those who are contemplating getting married. Their step-by-step approach to navigating through marital pitfalls has laid the foundation for couples who are having difficult times to have a resource to understand how to redirect their marriage. It also gives those who are contemplating marriage a great understanding of what it will take to have a God-ordained marriage. This is certainly a resource tool for Christians who love God's Word and have the responsibility of working with couples. Marriage without Misery is a must-read."
--Willie Richardson, Senior Pastor and Founder, Christian Stronghold Baptist Church, Philadelphia
