Book Review: Beneath the Surface by Bob Reccord
Beneath the Surface by Bob Reccord
“God’s intention is for marriage to be full of joy, regularly growing and supremely fulfilling.”
In this book, Bob Reccord explores the devastating nature of marital infidelity as well as the joy of faithful husbands and wives. He looks at this issue through the lives of two biblical characters, Joseph and David, both of whom dealt with the temptation to go against the grain of marital faithfulness. He displays how both Joseph and David handled their situations; one succeeded and one failed. Each chapter offers personal and real life scenarios dealing with the corresponding content of each chapter. He gives the biblical basis for his findings and conclusions and offers scriptural ‘safe-guards’ for a pure marriage. Anyone who has either dealt with fidelity themselves or any who are simply looking for ways to seal their bond of marriage in as many ways as possible would benefit from this text. It is authoritative and inspiring, loving and not condescending, yet honest and truthful.
A Matter of Opinion
My wife and I have been married a little over eight months and this book has provided ways for me to safe guard myself from the temptations that lurk all around me. Dr. Reccord came and preached at our church three days after a friend handed this book to me. After seeing his passion live, I couldn’t do anything but read this book. It was an excellent read!
