2 Books I Recommend Reading, the authors, Charles & Frances Hunter

I recently read two books, "How To Pick A Perfect Husband or Wife" by Frances Hunter and "How To Make Your Marriage Exciting" by Charles & Frances Hunter. One day a ministry had a great sale in which the books were $ 1.00 each. I reviewed the titles available and selected several good books. Did you ever purchase a book and the timing just was not right the moment you bought the book? It was as though you had to wait for the right time to bring out the book and then read it. I found this happening to me when I purchased several books by the authors I mentioned. Please note that both authors went home to be with the Lord. It amazes me that their legacy lives on through the print material that is still out there for others to glean from.
The first book I make mention of is the actual story of how Frances and Charles met. They never dated and they corresponded through telephone conversations and writing of letters to each other. It is a great, romantic story of how God brought two people together. They married each other and they never dated. What they did do was trust God speaking to each of their hearts. Is that not love, great love at that, coupled with trusting Holy Spirit as the orchestrator of this blessed union.
They were not some young couple they had years of wisdom on their side. If you want to read a good book that makes you feel like cheering on this couple as they make their way to the altar, I would then recommend this very book. It is encouraging to the young and the mature age groups out there. Learn from this example and wait upon the Lord to direct your path as to when and who you are to wed. That is the safest and most blessed place to be in your life. Pick up the book and feel encouraged with this love story. What God brings together no man can separate. Their lifetime together shows us that.
The second book I read, by Frances & Charles Hunter is an inspiration to couples out there. What I like about this book is they selected topics to write about and each one writes their own thoughts on the topic to encourage couples out there and even potential couples too. If you are not married and you believe God is speaking to your heart that marriage is a part of the plan for your life, then it is never too early to start seeking wisdom from those that have had great, Godly relationships to mentor you. It can be in person or through books, ministry, etc. To take a call of God that He placed upon your life in a causal manner is not wise. If He spoke it to your heart then you have an obligation to prepare before it manifests in the natural in your life. Would you allow someone to do surgery on you or a loved one that never went to medical school and became a Dr.? No, that is the answer I would give to that question. Read and connect with others that have healthy relationships with Christ as the center. Gain knowledge while you are still single so when the time is right to step into marriage you will have already prepared in ways that will make you a wonderful husband or wife.
So, if you want to read a few good books I recommend reading the two titles I listed. After reading them you will feel inspired and uplifted, be it that you are married or single. It amazes me that a couple lets you delve into their lives, that they chose to open to others to allow them to be blessed by what they learned. That is a good thing, a very good thing in my eyes. Happy reading.
