Make marriage happen?!

I was in Brisbane on the weekend, as readers would know, when my Mum got the Koorong catalogue in the mail. Being on holidays and loafing about I flicked through it. This book Get Married: What Women Can Do To Help it Happen, by Candice Watters, featured prominently in it somewhere, and then I recalled that I had read about it previously, perhaps on the Boundless Line blog. I admit, I'm intrigued - but confess that I probably wouldn't be intrigued if it wasn't for the foreward by Albert Mohler (well, there're so many books not worth reading at Koorong that I generally don't bother unless I know a name - however see * below). I'm currently doing some further reading around the topic of the book I have for the EQUIP book club, so perhaps I'll add this one to the list. But this book is probably not one that you should broadcast that you're reading. Men of Australia, lookout! I'm coming, armed with new strategies for success! Now is your opportunity to start running ... ;)

*Even though, dare I say it, I think I disagree with Mohler's interpretation of the "gift of singleness" in 1 Corinthians 7 - though don't hold me to that just yet as I need to do more research. There appears to be quite a debate raging out there on the subject, which I have only recently discovered and haven't yet got my head around, and Mohler has also endorsed this book, by Debbie Maken, on singleness and getting married, which Andreas Kostenberger disputes (great series of posts on the Gift of Singleness and also that book on Kostenberger's blog) and with which Ben Witherington and John Piper (and others) also seemingly differ - which just adds somewhat to the intrigue.
