Every Christian home is under attack!

What would happen if a dedicated Christian missionary were to spend a month at your house?

What if he found an ordinary, contemporary family? (GULP!) What a mess!

Would he understand all that was going on? Would he be “culture shocked?” Or would he realize, after years of living abroad, that this home was as much of a mission field as a foreign country?

What if he didn’t condemn the people, but rather strove to be a godly example?

And what if, over time, he won each individual to a saving knowledge of, and appreciation for, God and His holy words in the Bible?

In The Marriage Mess, Mark is a seasoned veteran, with seventeen years on the mission field in Africa. But he made it through hardships, including the death of his wife, because of his reliance on the holy words of God in the Bible and the principles they teach. Could they help tame the wilds of a suburban household? Could they help a mischievous boy and a teenage girl? And could they help to untangle The Marriage Mess?

Once again, Jack Chick was decades ahead of his time. And he was unafraid to confront some very tough topics. The Marriage Mess is a roller coaster. Just when you think things are starting to settle down, up comes another situation, requiring more patience and trust and kindness on the part of the missionary for this misguided family.

FROM THE AUTHOR

When God said to eve . . . “What is this that thou hast done?” (Genesis 3:13) he already knew the horrifying chain reaction of problems that their act of rebellion had caused.

Wars, torture, perversion, despair, suffering, loneliness, hate, disease, fear, sickness, confusion, death and heartbreak spread across humanity like giant spiderwebs entangling all of our lives.

Today, Christian homes are being battered by the forces of darkness.

It would be the height of presumption to say that this book has answers to most of the complex problems in our homes; but, if one little ray of truth could improve your family life, then this little book was well worth while.
