Book Review #4 - Generation NeXt Marriage

April 23rd, 2008

Remember, this appeared in a MOPS newsletter…

Oh ladies, I am so excited to review this book for you for several reasons.  One, it is hot off the press!  It just hit stores earlier this year, and we are privileged to give away one copy to a lucky MOPS Mom today.  Two, I read Generation NeXt Parenting and reviewed it for last year’s newsletter, and I knew what author Tricia Goyer was capable of writing.

Sure enough, Goyer did not disappoint me.  The book is such an easy read because of the format and the way she breaks up all the “heavy” material with stories from Moms just like us.  Isn’t that what we all need; something to refresh our minds but not burden our schedule?  We’ve talked about using Love Languages in marriage this year, and I think this book is a great companion to learning how to speak your spouse’s language, even though Goyer uses different terms.    

Some of you ladies might not be labeled as “Generation Xers”, or those born between 1960 and 1981.  Whether your birth date falls in this gap or not, this book is for you.  You just might not remember all the song lyrics she uses as chapter and theme titles! (or, you might…)  Whether you’ve been married for a year or for 20 years, whether this is your first marriage or your third, this book is for you.

You will love her life story – it is so unconventional.  Her life work is even more dramatic.  But most of all, you will love this book.  Now, I think I’ll pick up some of Goyer’s fiction work…
