What the Eldredge bestsellers Wild at Heart did for men, and Captivating did for women, LOVE & WAR will do for married couples everywhere. John and Stasi Eldredge have contributed the quintessential works on Christian spirituality through the experience of men and the experience of women and now they turn their focus to the incredible dynamic between those two forces.

With refreshing openness that will grab readers from the first page, the Eldredges candidly discuss their own marriage and the insights they've gained from the challenges they faced. Each talks independently to the reader about what they've learned, giving their guidance personal immediacy and a balance between the male and female perspectives that has been absent from all previous books on this topic. They begin LOVE & WAR with an obvious but necessary acknowledgement: Marriage is fabulously hard. They advise that the sooner we get the shame and confusion off our backs, the sooner we'll find our way through.

LOVE & WAR shows couples how to fight for their love and happiness, calling men and women to step into the great adventure God has waiting for them together. Walking alongside John and Stasi Eldredge, every couple can discover how their individual journeys are growing into a story of meaning much greater than anything they could do or be on their own.

      [Editor's Note: The Following is a combined review with NORTH AND SOUTH and HEAVEN AND HELL.]--Listening to John Jakes's North and South trilogy read by Michael Kramer is a great thrill. The 2,000-page trilogy is a multigenerational, geographical extravaganza, ranging from Lehigh Station, Pennsylvania in the North to South Carolina in the South, from Manhattan in the East to the San Fernando Valley in the West. Throughout the Civil War saga, Kramer never falters in his presentation of more than forty characters--men, women, and children; black and white; aristocrats and slaves. Northerners and Southerners from all walks of life are portrayed with unerring accuracy and complete authenticity. During the Indian wars on the plains of Kansas and Missouri, soldiers with European accents fight alongside Yankees and "Southrens" under historical figures such as General George A. Custer. In the Reconstructionist period George Hazard vacations in Paris and speaks with Monsieur Levie, who has the charming accent of a French person speaking English. The Irish accent of Constance Hazard rings true, as does the Southern dialect of the Mont Royal aristocracy. Every aspect of spoken life spanning the fifty-year period from 1840 to 1890 is flawlessly delivered by Michael Kramer. It's hard to get a happy ending out of the Civil War, but with skill and imagination John Jakes manages to accomplish a bittersweet one. M.D.H. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine

      Accepting marital conflicts and dealing with them responsibly is the subject of this memorable lesson by two Christian personal growth authors. They alternate sharing advice, which is illustrated by stories of conflicts in their marriage and those of the couples they've counseled. John Eldredge's dramatic delivery is distracting, while his wife's speaking style makes her sound more humble, available, and effective. Literal references to keeping God in and the devil out of one's marriage are expressions of the authors' religious views and don't detract from their helpful advice on issues such as adjusting annoying personal habits, nurturing romantic energy, handling threats to loyalty, and expressing hurt or anger without being adversarial. With all the narrative, the discussion unfolds slowly but delivers helpful advice on familiar relationship challenges. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
