…or, it could be titled, “Created in the image of God.”

“I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, that rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
“The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: “If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?” But the good Samaritan reversed the question: “If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?”
Martin Luther King Jr.
“Poverty is not just a lack of money; it is not having the capability to realize one’s full potential as a human being”

Just finished Tim Keller’s “Meaning of Marriage” & have mixed feelings about it.
It was definitely an affirming point of view of marriage in a world where the value of marriage seems to be on the decline; however, feels like it was written for this emerging generation who do not have a firm foundation. This is a good thing. This is a needed thing.
Those that have been married for “a while” may find that the book doesn’t do a lot of digging into the beauty of what a marriage can be or the issues it may face after the first ten years. Maybe that’s a subject for another book. :-)
Definitely worth the read.
