This Momentary Marriage: A Parable of Permanence

\n \nThe chasm between the biblical vision of marriage and the common human conception isand has always beengargantuan. Reflecting on over forty years of matrimony, John Piper exalts the biblical meaning of marriage over its emotion, exhorting couples to keep their covenant as a display of Christs covenant-keeping love for the church. He aims to lift the churchs low view of marriage to something infinitely greater, namely, a vision of Jesuss unswerving allegiance to and affection for his bride. This Momentary Marriage unpacks the biblical vision, its unexpected contours, and its weighty implications for married, single, divorced, and remarried alike. Now available in paperback with a freshly redesigned cover, Pipers book on marriage holds even greater appeal. \n \n \n \n \n
