God Ordains Marriages
In modern times, the phrase "till death do us part" transcends its religious origins and is now often included in wedding vows as a customary expression of commitment and endurance in marriages. Many couples, regardless of their religious beliefs or practices, choose to include this phrase in their wedding ceremonies as a symbol of their intent to maintain a lifelong commitment to one another. The inclusion of this phrase can also serve as a reminder of the seriousness, and depth, of the commitment being made; even when divorce is legally recognized as an option. It is also important to note that though the inclusion of the phrase "till death do us part" in wedding ceremonies does not necessarily reflect a strict adherence to the religious beliefs or doctrines associated with it, it does, however, represent a deeper commitment/dedication to the lifelong union between two individuals. The biblical principle of "until death do us part" emphasizes the solemnity and permanence of the marital bond. Couples may express their intention to remain faithful and committed to one another throughout their lives, regardless of the challenges and obstacles they may face. The phrase signifies a promise to uphold the marriage covenant until death separates them. It reflects the understanding that marriage is a sacred and enduring bond that requires love, sacrifice, and ongoing dedication. This book guides couples in their keeping of those sacred vows through enlightened direction stemming from years of marriage conferences - filled and led with God's wisdom. The reader will receive counsel in everything from recognizing who they are and what they will be bringing to the union; building a marriage after the ceremony; the significance of communication; and the sacrifices needed to be made in order to maintain and grow a healthy marital relationship.

Survivors
THE SHOCKING TRUE STORY BEHIND THE HIT TV DRAMA THREE GIRLS When detective Maggie Oliver first discovered that children as young as 10 were being groomed, abused and trafficked for sex by gangs of men in the Rochdale area, she felt like a lonely voice calling for people to act.

A Widow's Heart
"A Widow's Heart" accounts for the author's journey of grief after fifty-one years of marriage. Vividly, she recounts the days up to her husband's death and the sorrow of learning to live alone as a widow. As the days turn into weeks and months, the memories of past years and her husband's illness become unbearable, even while crying out to God constantly. When the struggles become overwhelming, the author experiences specific encounters through God's word and visions that give her hope and a new identity filled with purpose. Through the conflict of soul and spirit, a ministry is born that includes two lifelong widow friends reaching out to widows suffering through the silence of grief. Through lives of surrender seeking God's will and guidance, the scripture in Job 29:13 b KJV is fulfilled, "And I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy." My name is Anna Horn, and I live in Martin County, a small town in Eastern Ky., where my husband Mossie and I raised our two children. I received my Bachelor's and Masters's Degrees in Communication Disorders at Marshall University in Huntington, W.Va., and retired from the Martin County School system in 2016. God and family have always been a priority, so my husband and I endeavored to instill these values in our children. I've loved to read and write all my life, so I have compiled several journals that I hope one day will be an encouragement to my family. After Mossie's death in April 2021, the Widows Heart Ministry was birthed. I felt inspired by his life to write about my journey and to share my story with other widows experiencing grief and to take heart and know God will carry them through.
