Book Review of Love & War by John and Stasi Eldredge

"We live in a love story, set in the midst of war. Love is our destiny, and all hell is set against it. Really, it explains so much. We wake each morning and find that we have to fight our way back to all that is true; we have to fight off the thousands of reasons to settle for less than the life we were created for. Our bodies awaken but then our hears and souls must awaken, too, so that we might play our part in the Grand Affair. And God has made our hearts in such a way that nothing awakens us quite like some great mission which is ours alone to fulfill."

In typical Eldredge style you are drawn to this book not because of it's profundity but because of it's simplicity (which is often the most profound).  It is a practical book!  It is a helpful book!  It is a challenging book.  More than just a good read (which it is); it is an honest take on the real struggles of marriage and how to find your way to something beautiful in your marriage.

If you are honestly seeking to save your marriage or just make your marriage the best that it can be, then you need to read Love and War.
