"Rarely has a book roused in me so much enthusiasm as has the combination of wisdom, depth, dignity, and glow -- I don't know what else to call it -- that I find in these chapters. To introduce this book is not a chore, but an excitement."

This is how James Packer introduces Mike Mason's book, The Mystery of Marriage.Packer goes on to say, "The Christian world is full of bad books on marriage, books written it seems, by extrovert Pharisees for readers like themselves, who want to reduce life to routines of role-play."

But this is not one of those books. Packer continues: "The tone-quality of this book, resonating as it does off the Bible as a sounding board, is richer than we Christians are used to. Christian, read it -- but slowly! For Mike Mason spells out the magnificence of marriage in God's plan with freshness and force."

This is not only a book about human marriage, it's also a meditation on our spousal relationship with the Lord. Mike finishes his book, "[My wife] is as close as anyone in the world can come to being for me, in that mournful, radiant flesh of hers, what Christ is to me in the spirit."

Get your copy of The Mystery of Marriage, and you will be as excited as James Packer with this superb book.
