Cuando un hombre sigue los principios de la hombría bíblica, todos a su alrededor se benefician de su cuidado y de su liderazgo.

Marriages today are deteriorating at an alarming rate: As of 2003, 43.7% of custodial mothers and 56.2% of custodial fathers were either separated or divorced (US Census Bureau).

In the age where people can get a "no-fault" divorce (When is it ever nobody's fault?) believers who claim to live by God's word cannot dodge the issue: we cannot skip it, run from it, or ignore it. God has spoken clearly on this subject and while it is far from easy to address, it must be dealt with.

Both of these are flat wrong, and Tony Evans looks to scripture to set the record straight. Simple and straight forward, Eternity is a short book on what eternity with God will really be like.
