About this listen

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.

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!

Before you start dating

This book should be used in church groups for high school & college kids getting ready to start dating in the first place. So much food for thought.

Highly recommend

I highly recommend this book to anyone that’s single and looking, or even those who are dating or maybe engaged. I will definitely listen to it again.

Chapter 10 is incomplete though.. so four stars overall.

A must read for those who are married!

Gary has helped me understand why my marriage became broken.
It has also helped me help my kids understand how to end up with a good healthy marriage.

Excellent resource.

This is one of the most illuminating books that I've ever read or listened to, on the subject of marriage. It is a book that should be read/heard by anyone that is considering a Christian or non-Christian marriage.
