The Marriage Challenge

Art Rainer · 2018
74/100
👍 Worth It

Art Rainer tackles one of the real fault lines in Christian marriages — financial disagreement — with a short, warm, Scripture-grounded book that couples can actually finish together in a weekend. The B&H Books imprint and Rainer's seminary background give it solid orthodox credibility, and the companion relationship to The Money Challenge means readers who engaged that book will find a natural next step here. The depth is limited by the page count, so couples with complex financial situations will need to follow it up with a more detailed resource.
