Customer Reviews
Faithful and clear explanation of 1 Corinthians 7 with relevant and challenging
I'm not a great expert on Christian books about marriage and relationships but I liked this one! John Richardson goes through 1 Corinthians 7 clearly and with good biblical reasoning for his explanations. He's also worked hard to bring out relevant applications and he's not afraid to challenge people. This book helped me to grow in bible knowledge, changed some of my thoughts and attitudes towards marriage and singleness - and above all challenged my to be seeking first the kingdom of God. Brilliant!
