The Sacred Search

What if It’s Not about Who You Marry, but Why?

By: Gary Thomas

Narrated by: Gary Thomas

In the revised edition of his hit book The Sacred Search, author Gary Thomas helps single people of all ages make wise marital choices, in large part by rethinking what basis those choices should be made on.

Listeners are encouraged to think beyond finding their “soul mate", an idea that has its roots in the philosophy of Plato, and instead adopt a more biblical search for a “sole mate” - someone who will walk with them on their spiritual journey.

Thomas asks, What if we focused on why to get married more than on who to marry? What if being “in love” isn’t a good enough reason to get married? And most of all, what if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy?

Every Christian Single Needs This Book

I wish that I had received such rich, sound & biblically based advice years ago. This is a must read for any single who desires to enter into a lifelong, fulfilling and loving marriage with the right person for them. I will be listening to this book at least one more time to make sure that I didn't miss anything.

Incredible!!

What a wonderful book that I’ll recommend to so many and I’ll listen to again beautifully written and God honoring .
Thank you

Priceless!

The knowledge I gained from this book was phenomenal!!! The very fact that it pointed back to scripture and God throughout was priceless!

Fantastic Preparation For Marriage

This book is written in a way that it should be read at least twice. Gary did an amazing job breaking down so many different facets of not only looking for a good spouse, but also trying to become a good potential husband or wife to begin with. A number of the topics hit pretty hard yet it’s presented in a way that provides conviction and not condemnation. The entire book is packed with fantastic wisdom and insight. Definitely a recommendation for any man or woman seeking to honor God in their pursuit of marriage!

Straight to the point!

In the first part of this book, I was hesitant to "read" this in audible; it is so good I want to jot down and write on the sides of the pages or underline the necessary parts. Thank God for bookmarks and clips!
