Each for the Other offers hope and invaluable instruction for married and engaged couples and for counselors and pastors who desire to promote healthy, grace-filled families. Bryan Chapell illustrates clearly how offering Christs unconditional love to a mate can transform an individual and build a spiritual foundation that binds partners together as one. Most people understand that self-sacrifice promotes healthy relationships, but Chapell gently uncovers the biblical motivation for sacrificially serving your marriage partner as Christ chose to serve the church. Male or female, youll discover that Each for the Other isnt your typical how-to guide or fix-it manual. Chapell writes, As we live for each other, we re-enact the story of Jesus sacrifice that lifts us from the bottomless pit of self-indulgence to a purposeful life with God.

“Be holy, for I am holy.” Without Christ we would hear this command and shudder. How can God expect us to be holy as he is? But thanks to what Christ has accomplished on our behalf, God accepts us because of his Son’s righteousness. Yet the call to holiness remains. In this redesigned edition of his book, preacher and teacher Bryan Chapell puts good works and obedience in proper perspective. He traces the relationship of holiness and grace in three parts, outlining the principles of grace, the practices of faith, and the motives of love. This book will challenge readers to discover the gracious source of joy and strength they will need for a lifelong pursuit of holiness.
