Hot Topic for Couples

Authors: Steve and Annie Chapman
Publisher: Harvest House
Scoring: Four Star

The title is Hot Topics for couples, so was the book HOT? Yes it was. What I liked most was the book listed the views of several wives and husbands on key topics in most chapters. For instance in the chapter ‘Lead or Get out of the way’ Thirty bullet points were listed from different wives about how they felt about their husband as a spiritual leader in the home. Likewise the hubbies stated how they felt about the role as a leader. Interesting insight!

The book had a wholesome feel to it because it wasn’t just Steve and Anne telling you about their marriage but you can see the bigger picture of what other couples are facing. Other chapters included: Are you connected or co-naked, it shows that ladies and gents think differently on sex. The book covers the topic of friendship, parenting, money and old age.

The second part of the book is a study guide based on the first part. I like the style of the book and the fact that it was jointly written. It was a bit simplistic in the sense that it does not have anything that people may not have heard before. However the key is applying the nuggets in the book, because it is tempting to toss aside what sounds familiar.

My Verdict: Good book for couples to have in their library.
