"The marriage union is the closest relationship that can exist between two human beings. When a man and woman decide to join together in marriage, they should do so with full realization of their responsibilities. Marriage is serious business. When two born-again believers know it is God's will for them to marry, they come together before God, a minister and witnesses to join their hearts and lives. They make a public profession of their mutual love and devotion, pronouncing vows and pledging their lives to each other. As they pronounce the marriage vows in faith, the power of God goes into operation and a miracle takes place. They are united by God and become as one in His sight. Their union is threefold: They are joined together spiritually by God, legally by the contract they enter into and physically, when the marriage is consummated. A husband and wife are joined together as Jesus is joined to the Church. It is a miraculous union. This booklet contains the wedding ceremony that I use as a minister of God. It is based totally and completely on the Word of God. As you use this ceremony, I add my faith to yours in believing God for lives of love and harmony for the couples you minister to, in Jesus' name." Kenneth Copeland

A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole. The Case for Marriage is a critically important intervention in the national debate about the future of family. Based on the authoritative research of family sociologist Linda J. Waite, journalist Maggie Gallagher, and a number of other scholars, this book’s findings dramatically contradict the anti-marriage myths that have become the common sense of most Americans. Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for children when parents are unhappy, and that marriage is essentially a private choice, not a public institution. Waite and Gallagher flatly contradict these assumptions, arguing instead that by a broad range of indices, marriage is actually better for you than being single or divorced– physically, materially, and spiritually. They contend that married people live longer, have better health, earn more money, accumulate more wealth, feel more fulfillment in their lives, enjoy more satisfying sexual relationships, and have happier and more successful children than those who remain single, cohabit, or get divorced. The Case for Marriage combines clearheaded analysis, penetrating cultural criticism, and practical advice for strengthening the institution of marriage, and provides clear, essential guidelines for reestablishing marriage as the foundation for a healthy and happy society. “A compelling defense of a sacred union. The Case for Marriage is well written and well argued, empirically rigorous and learned, practical and commonsensical.” -- William J. Bennett, author of The Book of Virtues “Makes the absolutely critical point that marriage has been misrepresented and misunderstood.” -- The Wall Street Journal www.broadwaybooks.com

There is no question whatsoever that it is God's perfect will for us to prosper. The 50 Days of Prosperity study series began with the two week teaching on the Believer's Voice of Victory broadcasts done by Pastor George Pearsons. At the same time Pastor Pearsons was teaching a prosperity series at Eagle Mountain International Church. It was no surprise when the Lord spoke to Pastor Pearsons spirit and told him to teach a television series titled, 10 Days of Prosperity. This teaching material is a direct result of those television broadcasts that Gloria Copeland and Pastor George Pearsons did on the Believer's Voice of Victory broadcasts. You are encouraged to immerse yourself in your own 50 Days of Prosperity or take whatever time necessary to thoroughly study each outline. This study guide could also be used to conduct your own Bible study with friends and family. God wants you to prosper. But, as we all know, a transformation of the mind takes total immersion in the Word. So, get out your Bibles and notes, and get with the program! The results of this Bible study may be found in Psalm 25:13 (NIV): "They will spend their days in prosperity, and their descendants will inherit the land."
