Mark Driscoll just posted some of Grace and his favorite books on marriage and family. I like a lot of the same ones, but thought I would post my own list too. I love to read, especially on this subject. Erick and I really enjoy doing premarriage counseling with young couples in Kaleo. I have found such joy in being married and really appreciate the wonderfully wise biblical premarriage counseling that we received 12 years ago. Anyway, here is my list.
Marriage / Dating
- Doing Things Right in Matters of the Heart by John Ensor (we have used this as a book study for Kaleo)
- Love That Lasts: When Marriage Meets Grace by Gary and Betsy Ricucci (we use this book for Premarriage counseling)
- When Sinners Say I Do by Dave Harvey
Sex
- Intimate Issues by Linda Dillow (a must read for all married women)
- Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God by CJ Mahaney
Parenting / Family
- Don't Make Me Count To Three By Ginger Plowman
- Disciplines of a Godly Family by Kent Hughes
- Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp
- Future Men by Doug Wilson
Women
- Feminine Appeal by Carolyn Mahaney (all females should read this!)
- Damsels in Distress by Martha Peace
- Disciplines of a Godly Woman by Barbara Hughes
- Women Helping Women by Elyse Fitzpatrick
- Love to Eat Hate to Eat by Elyse Fitzpatrick
Men
- Disciplines of a Godly Man by Kent Hughes
Erick has a broader list of books on the Kaleo site.
