Editorial Reviews

As a pastor who has officiated weddings and done premarital counseling for over thirty years, I wish I had a book to give couples to prepare them for their journey. Together With Christ: A Dating Couple's Devotional is just what the proverbial doctor ordered. I highly recommend it for couples, both before and after they get married. I only wish this book had been written decades ago.”—Dr. Phil Fernandes, Pastor of Trinity Bible Fellowship, Professor of Apologetics and Religion for Veritas International University
