Going ALL the way...


Towards the end of last year I was delighted to receive a free copy of Craig Groeschel’s new book, “Going All the Way: Preparing for a Marriage that Goes the Distance.” In return, all he asked was that I write an honest review of the book on my blog.

Again Craig delivers the goods with this book on God’s heart for marriage. Written in an easy to read, engaging style Craig faithfully opens up God’s Word from a Jesus centered perspective. His foundations are strong and based on God’s word and practically applied to our current cultural environment in the western world. I first became a fan when I picked up “Confessions of a Pastor” and with this book Craig has cemented himself as one of my favorite authors.

I will be certainly making this book required reading for all couples and highly recommending it for all our young adults. Hey, I might even do a series based on it and give everyone a copy of the book for them to read and discuss in small groups. I certainly wish I had read a book like this in my early teens, but having said that there were still plenty of things I picked up that I can continue to work on, as I aim to grow as a better husband to my awesome wife and dad to my boys.

Craig is right… God does want our marriages to go all the way! Thanks Craig, I look forward to your next book.

My name is Sarah McLean and I’m Craig Groeschel’s assistant. He read your review for Going All The Way and he asked me to thank you on his behalf.

Like him I’m sure your schedule is extremely busy, so it means a lot to him that you would take the time to read the book and write a review.

He truly appreciates your endorsement.

Blessings in Christ,
Sarah
