Books about Rekindling from Amazon.com

Is sex more work than play in your marriage? Do you schedule it in like a dentist appointment? Do you make love once a month, twice at the most? If you answered yes to these questions, you are among the forty million Americans trapped in a low-sex or no-sex marriage.

Now there is help from nationally acclaimed sex and marital experts Barry and Emily McCarthy, who for years have helped couples break down the barriers that have developed between them, and rebuild closeness and longing. Their groundbreaking ten-step program is designed to get sex and intimacy back into these marriages and revitalize relationships. Crafted by years of clinical practice, Rekindling Desire first shows couples how to root out the "poisons" that inhibit sexual desire: shame, guilt, anger, passivity, as well as medical side effects and physical dysfunctions. With sensitivity and tact, the McCarthys then lay out concrete techniques and effective strategies that help couples increase sexual awareness, confront inhibitions, revitalize desire, and integrate intimacy and eroticism.

An exciting new way to spark and sustain desire, Rekindling Desire confronts the secrecy and stigma of low-sex and no-sex marriages, teaching couples how to enjoy a fulfilling, life-long sexual partnership..

Writings that touch the pure-flaming heart of God - from the men and women who walked with Him through the ages - guiding into a deeper friendship with the "Father of Lights."

Can I trust God in every circumstance? Can I rely on His promises of protection, security, safety, provision, comfort when I most need them? Is God always there for me? So many struggle to find confidence in God. Amy Carmichael stepped faithfully into the darkness surrounding her, and found the greatest "refuge" of all the sheltering love of God, who is with us in all things.

When Amy Carmichael (1867-1951) arrived in India, she had no idea the dangerous work ahead to save young girls from cult prostitution in Hindu temples. Nor could she imagine the times of material need, physical danger, pain and debilitating illness, disappointment and attack by friends. From this crucible, she writes of her uplifting times with God who calls us all to find safety in Him, to live honestly before Him, and to receive peace as we live in His presence.

Deep within every marriage is a God-given desire for intimacy. By God's design, romance is supposed to be the flame in the fireplace. It includes warmth, security, and, of course, sexual intimacy.

Yet far too many Christian couples feel cheated because their marriage produces about as much spark as a book of wet matches. For them the kids, the long hours at the office, the bills, health issues, and even feelings of guilt leave them drained. Others have neglected to fan the flames of passion for so long that they have lost hope of experiencing romance. Their relationship has become as routine as it is lifeless. Some are so puzzled by the whole affair they have come to the wrong conclusion that God has withheld something good from them. In short, romance in marriage can be a challenge and a mystery.

Rekindling the Romance is organized into a collection of short, easy-to-digest, biblically based chapters. Packed with practical insight, this tastefully candid and inviting resource provides the Christian couple with the keys to unlock their relational and sexual intimacy.

Rekindling the Inner Fire

Writings that touch the pure-flaming heart of God - from the men and women who walked with Him through the ages - guiding into a deeper friendship with the "Father of Lights."

John of the Cross (1549-1591) was one of the brightest spiritual lights of the dark and tumultuous 1500s. His teaching led thousands to inner freedom from "the dark night of the soul" the state of spiritual blindness in which most of us live our days, unaware that God is right beside us, in love, in freeing power. Through great opposition and danger, John taught countless men and women how to find freedom in the Spirit.

John's words and deep understanding of spiritual truth will also help you find a richer experience of God, leading you to:

a fresh infilling of the love of the Father.

renewed wonder at the beauty and holiness of Jesus, our Lord and brother.

the discovery of the Holy Spirit's presence, helping you daily, with new strength and freedom from within.

Treasured and classic writings that have had a profound impact on the church down through the ages.

Writings that touch the pure-flaming heart of God-from the men and women who walked with Him through the ages-guiding into a deeper friendship with the "Father of Lights."

Why at times do I feel so empty? If I am a Christian, a child of my heavenly Father, why does a barrier of life's pressures, cares, and troubles so often keep me from entering His presence? Is there a spiritual key that will unlock the doors of my soul to His majestic Spirit so that I am crowned with all the blessings that are mine in Christ?

Julian of Norwich (1342-1413) lived when poverty, plagues, war and despotic kings ravaged Europe. A terrifying illness brought her to her deathbed. Then a powerful vision opened up to Julian. She saw the tender, burning, unstoppable love of God, reaching out to touch her. To love and heal the soul of the whole world. And in an instant, waves of health revived her physical body. Love made her well.

Julian's ongoing vision of divine love, recorded over several decades, reigns supreme in all of English devotional writing. Her words will open your heart wide to be touched and crowned with new spiritual life, and with love greater than you have ever known.
