As Long as We Both Shall Live will help couples acknowledge their unexpressed assumptions, understand one another’s genuine needs and talk openly about their hopes and desires. Women and men will find the tools they need to build lasting and loving marriages.

This six-week study deals openly and honestly with questions people ask about other religions, including why we should believe the claims of Christianity over those of other faiths. As part of the study, author and presenter Adam Hamilton interviews a religious leader from each tradition. He treats the world religions with great respect, recognizing the unique contributions of each. In examining these major world religions and the beliefs of their followers, the Reverend Hamilton urges us as Christians to build bridges with others so that we might grow in our faith, seek peace in our world, love our neighbor, and find positive ways to share the gospel. |
