Gary tells us more about the 15th anniversary edition of Sacred Marriage:What If God Designed Marriage to Make Us Holy More Than to Make Us Happy? The book has sold over 700,000 copies. Gary has heard from countless couples whose marriages have been saved by the idea behind Sacred Marriage – that marriage is supposed to do more than make you happy. In the second hour, Kerby chats with Eric Metaxas about his new book (literally hot of the press), 7 Women and the Secret of their Greatness. Through the lives of Joan of Arc, Susanna Wesley, Hannah More, Maria Skobtsova, Corrie ten Boom, Mother Teresa, and Rosa Parks; Metaxas points us in the direction of some exemplary models of true womanhood.
