Free Stuff Fridays (Cruciform Press)

Free Stuff Fridays

This week’s Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by Cruciform Press.

Getting to know that special someone naturally involves learning about family and friends, education and athletics, favorite pastimes, and your hopes and dreams. Ideally, you’ll talk about life’s best moments and worst, the brightest places in your background and the darkest.

But what about God? What is his role in your relationship? What do each of you believe about him, and how do you understand his dream for marriage—for your marriage?

In Preparing for Marriage: Help for Christian Couples John Piper wants to help you faithfully walk the road to becoming husband and wife.

    In My Father’s School Are Many Classrooms

    We know what Jesus said about our eternal destination: “In my Father’s house are many rooms” (or, in its older rendering, “in my Father’s house are many mansions”). We know that God has prepared a place for us to live with him forever—a place of safety, peace, and rest. But before we get to that…
