Equally Yoked

This book is written for people who really believe in their heart-or who really want to believe-that God's highest ideal is for men and women to operate in a full and equal partnership, yet have been led to believe that the Bible teaches otherwise. In both the original creation and in the new creation God has an ideal for the genders-full and equal partnership under God's headship. Equally Yoked examines the teaching of the Bible on this critical topic and makes the case that this ideal of partnership is biblical; and that reclaiming this ideal is essential for the church to fulfill its end-time mandate to partner with God in seeing His Kingdom come to earth. Why another book about men and women? Rick does a great job explaining why. I applaud this effort to pour more support and reason into a long overdue change in the modern day church. Men and women all over the world will applaud you as well. Thank you! Danny Silk Family Life Pastor Bethel Church, Redding, CA Rick McKinniss has written a book that should engage every serious Bible student who has struggled with the issue of gender and the Kingdom of God. Refusing to dodge either the difficult texts or the cultural contexts, this volume responsibly examines the whole perspective of Scripture concerning the roles of men and women. Dr. James Mason Professor Emeritus Bethel Seminary St. Paul, MN Rick McKinniss is the Senior Leader of Wellspring Church in Kensington, CT and is recognized as a servant-leader to pastors throughout Connecticut. He is a former adjunct professor of preaching at Bethel Seminary in St. Paul, MN where he earned two theological degrees. He and his wife Debbie have been married for 36 yers and have four grown children.

During the past fifty years, Western culture has experienced a significant shift in its overall stance regarding multiethnic marriage. As a result, more North Americans than ever marry spouses whose ethnicity (or culture) differs from theirs. This trend also is observable in Christian circles. Unfortunately, few resources exist to help multiethnic couples maneuver through the potential minefield of cultural collision. The purpose of this volume is to provide such a resource. Equally Yoked examines the subject of multiethnic marriage from a biblical perspective, before considering a history of the practice in North America over the last four centuries. Additionally, this book surveys the challenges that multiethnic Christian couples frequently encounter, and offers premarital counseling propositions that will prove valuable to both counselors and couples who originate from diverse backgrounds.

Wife since 2014, singer since she can remember, Sarah Maxwell defines her worth in seeking Christ-likeness in all aspects of her life, even when she falls short. Sarah has written many blogs on various topics and hopes to publish a book for women as well as childrens picture books in the near future, but Victory in Marriage is her first published book. She doesnt consider herself qualified to write about marriage because of age or years married, but simply because of her teachable spirit upon entering marriage. I havent been married long, Sarah says, but I entered marriage with God already the Lord of my life, and my husband did also, and from there, being married committedly is what makes me qualified. She admits she has expectations shell gain wisdom from her readers as she inevitably gets feedback about Victory in Marriage even if it changes her mind a little on some things. I hope Victory in Marriage creates teachable moments for you as it did for me when I wrote it, Sarah shares. As you read, consult scriptures and prayerfully take your time reading, and contact me to discuss any discrepancies, concerns, or inspiring moments further with me. Victory in Marriage is filled with beautifully written, authentic advice of how to do marriage well. Sarah covers a multitude of topics and consistently points to Jesus through each subject.
