The Sacred Search

What if It’s Not about Who You Marry, but Why?

Resumen del Editor

In the revised edition of his hit book The Sacred Search, author Gary Thomas helps single people of all ages make wise marital choices, in large part by rethinking what basis those choices should be made on.

Listeners are encouraged to think beyond finding their “soul mate", an idea that has its roots in the philosophy of Plato, and instead adopt a more biblical search for a “sole mate” - someone who will walk with them on their spiritual journey.

Thomas asks, What if we focused on why to get married more than on who to marry? What if being “in love” isn’t a good enough reason to get married? And most of all, what if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy?

Every Christian Single Needs This Book

I wish that I had received such rich, sound & biblically based advice years ago. This is a must read for any single who desires to enter into a lifelong, fulfilling and loving marriage with the right person for them. I will be listening to this book at least one more time to make sure that I didn't miss anything.

Incredible!!

What a wonderful book that I’ll recommend to so many and I’ll listen to again beautifully written and God honoring .
Thank you

Great listen

The Book does a great Job of causing you to question and really consider marriage.

Straight to the point!

In the first part of this book, I was hesitant to "read" this in audible; it is so good I want to jot down and write on the sides of the pages or underline the necessary parts. Thank God for bookmarks and clips!

The Guidance We Need

I feel blessed to have read this prior to marriage. Please spread this message to any and all young people in your life!

Before you start dating

This book should be used in church groups for high school & college kids getting ready to start dating in the first place. So much food for thought.

life changing.

I wish this was required reading for every young person. Excellent insite, and well written.

SO GOOD!

This book is packed with gold to help anyone grow in the process of finding the best person that will help them build the kingdom of God. So good.

Made room for change in my life

This book is incredibly life changing, in the sense that it helps you realize that there is some internal dialogue you haven’t had with yourself yet and perspective you haven’t received before. It helps you to create space in your life for a positive change of mindset. I think it helped to be interactive with the book by actually answering the questions myself that the book asked you to reflect on. I think EVERYONE should read this book or have it read to them. There are so many things that are life changing presented in this book. It really gets you to face the mirror, and also present yourself accurately according to you what you truly want from life and a relationship with another person. I will be reading this book again, and often. I have suggested to many friends and most of them actually started the book and they love it too. A couple have already recommended it to other friends. I’m not kidding when I say everyone should read this. More people should know and think the way this book teaches you to look and understand the importance of who you are and the “why” as to what you are looking for. Great book. 10/10!

Highly recommend

I highly recommend this book to anyone that’s single and looking, or even those who are dating or maybe engaged. I will definitely listen to it again.

Chapter 10 is incomplete though.. so four stars overall.
