Summary: It is superb
Review: Christian Divorce would be non-existent if the Body of Christ would follow Derek Prince's lead in finding a mate. Book begins and ends with Derek Prince's own love stories. Sandwiched in between are wise, insightful, Biblical references to this hot topic. Obviously led by the Holy Spirit, this is a must-read for every parent and unmarried person over 10 years of age, in the Body of Christ. Don't look for a mate, or send your teenager out into the "dating game" without it!!!!!

Summary: the best advise i could ever get
Review: Hi,
I came across this book thrice and finally decided to buy it... but again God's hand worked fast. My Pastor's wife offered to lend it to me. The book has been a blessing to me in the line of praying for a Spouse. I am in the 'Indian-single-woman-in-late-20's' Group and has been under tremendous pressure. God has been wonderful and faithful leading me to this book and changing my entire perspective. I have learnt to pray for infants so that they can marry a person that God has kept in store for them... and for all my single friends both with and not with the Lord so that they marry a person who is chosen for them by the Lord.... Thanking the Lord for my spouse who is already there for me at the altar! Amen

Summary: A Must Have for Christians Looking For A Spouse
Review: I was praying for a spouse for a long time. By suggestion of a Christian mentor, I got a copy of "Spirit Filled Believer's Handbook," also by Derek prince. I went to Amazon to see if he had anything else availible. Oddly enough, there were several titles, including this one. Not long later, I ordered a copy off of the internet. I'm certainly glad I did, too. This book basically uses the Bible and lays down a foundation for the do's and dont's of finding a Godly spouse. In addition to using the Bible, Derek tells of how he met Lydia, his first wife. She died many years after they were married. Then, a few years after that, he met Ruth, his current wife. The 2 chapters on his wives and how it all happened really helped me understand the rest of the book.
But the best part of the book are the 2 chapters by his current wife, Ruth. Even though she only wrote 2 chapters, they are the longest chapters in the whole book. She tells what to do and what not to do in terms of looking for a spouse. While Derek's chapters were great, hers were different. Ruth tells of a lot of mistakes she made when she was married previously to Derek. Her chapters will help Christians avoid the pitfalls that she went through while she was seeking a spouse and her eventual and tragic first marriage. Oh, I'm still praying for a spouse. However, this book has changed my prayers on the matter and what I should and shouldn't do on my end of things. It was truly an eye-opener. This book should be read by all Christians seeking a spouse and also by Pastors, deacons, elders, lay leaders, and people in the Christian counseling field. Believe me, it'll change the way you see courtship and marriage.

Summary: Worthy of Your Purchase
Review: This book can be summarized in the author's "7 Biblical Principles Involved in Entering in a Marriage:" 1. God Himself initiated marriage at the beginning of history.
2. The decision that man was to be married proceeded from God, not man.
3. God knew the kind of helper that man needed. Man did not.
4. God prepared the woman for the man.
5. God presented the woman to the man. The man did not have to go in search for her.
6. God ordained the nature of their life together.
7. Jesus upheld God's original plan of marriage as binding on all who would be His disciples. The standard God has for marriage is high but not unattainable. I appreciate that the author used "Biblical" principles. This written material proves that he is in fact a Bible scholar. Based on this book, I will purchase additional materials from this author.

Summary: God is a Match Maker-Derek Prince
Review: This is the best book I have ever read on dating and marriage. If everyone followed the reliance on the providence of God to work in this area, there would be much less divorce and unhappiness in marriage.
