Marriage & Weddings
The Marriage
Journey : Preparations and Provisions for Life Together
For those preparing for marriage, as well as for couples who are in the midst of married
life. A thorough, thoughtful book that wonderfully combines the richness of the Prayer
Book marriage service with the best of psychology, sociology, physiology, and good common
sense.
Planning
Your Marriage Service For Christian couples planning a wedding, this workbook
offers guidelines concerning the service, music, the entrance and presentation, readings,
prayers, communion, dismissal, and more. A valuable tool to help couples reflect on the
deeper meaning of Christian marriage.
The
Bride's Guide to Wedding Music Lots of practical advice for the bride on hiring
musicians, sources for taped/CD music, and how to use music throughout the service, as
well as lots of sheet music that includes traditional sacred music, contemporary Christian
music, and popular love songs. Also includes instrumental recessionals and processionals.
So many of the other bridal music planning books forget about Christian music, so I'm glad
to see this comprehensive guide goes back to basics of faith and music. 304 pages,
softbound.
Inviting
God to Your Wedding
"In the months before our wedding, I searched the shelves of my favorite bookstores
for a wedding book that I never found: A book that would celebrate my joy and acknowledge
my fears. A book that would be a silent friend that wouldn't overwhelm me with
week-by-week checklists and endless pictures of table settings. . . . I knew that before I
began organizing the most important event of my life, I needed to organize my heart."
Inviting God to Your Wedding is not just about planning for an event. It's about
preparing for a miracle. Written with honesty, wisdom, and humor by Touched By An Angel
Executive Producer Martha Williamson, with a special chapter for men by her husband and
Co-Executive Producer Jon Andersen, this inspiring book is a "wedding handbook"
for your spirit and your soul. Funny, thought-provoking, and thoroughly useful, it is
filled with ideas, suggestions, and commonsense advice that focus on the most important
aspect of every wedding: the coming together of a man and a woman "in the sight of
God." From wedding showers to the wedding night, this personal workbook will help
create a three-way partnership with God from the start, one that will sustain couples in
times of crisis as well as triumph and joy. [buy it from
