With its clear and concise approach, it provides a valuable framework for anyone looking to explore theological ideas without getting lost in intricate doctrines.

At one time or another, every Christian goes through a period which is referred to as a "desert experience"-a time when they feel forsaken by God, in doubt about what God would have them do, a period of darkness of the soul. Many, during those times, feel they are alone in this experience, but this thought-provoking book shows readers that they are not alone-that in fact, many well-known Christians have been there also. Featuring personal testimonies from each contributor, The Desert Experience offers readers encouragement and valuable lessons from those who have made it through the "desert"-lessons of hope, humility, goodwill, and the sovereignty of God -all lessons necessary for the maturing of a Christian.

In this 20th Anniversary Edition of a Gold Medallion Award winner, Mike Mason embarks on a poetic exploration of the profound dynamics of committed love. Written in an engaging first-person style, Mason's work encourages readers to reflect, pray, and deepen their intimacy. He asserts that "a marriage is not a joining of two worlds, but an abandoning of two worlds to form one new one." The book features rich chapters on "Otherness," "Vows," "Intimacy," "Sex," "Submission," and a new chapter on "Oneness," inviting readers to appreciate the eternal and spiritual dimensions of marriage as a faith-filled journey. Esteemed figures praise the book for its wisdom and depth, with J.I. Packer calling it an "outstanding achievement" and Elisabeth Elliot declaring it a "drop everything book" that addresses the complexities and joys of marriage. Mason shares that over the past twenty years, many couples have read his book aloud to each other, which brings him joy. He aims for readers to be touched by the mystery of divine love, fostering deeper intimacy and reverence for marriage as a reflection of God's love and His kingdom.
