About the Book

Be not deceived about how God views marriage. Know the truth, and be made free. While living in a world where people’s minds are so easily influenced by the opinions of celebrities and even government officials, the truth seems to get lost in the shuffle and made irrelevant. Therefore, this book is written to give some enlightenment on the institution of marriage according to the King James Version Bible. We understand that the original Bible was written by men inspired by God himself. The truth in this book is simply written with love to be a help to as many as will receive it because Jesus is love. “For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. “But after that the kindness of the love of God our Saviour toward man appeared. “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:3–5).
