It highlights the necessity of the Spirit's action in fulfilling the church's evangelistic and prophetic tasks.

Healthy marriages don't only last a long time, they create an environment that transforms each person into a whole human, capable of living their life as God intended. The five big issues that sabotage marriages are communication, division of responsibility, finances, in-laws, and sexual intimacy. To overcome these issues, couples have to get beyond the bliss of unrealistic expectations, to a reality where they are willing to work hard and thrive in a broken world. The key to cultivating a truly transformational marriage is a consistent, love-motivated engagement in four life disciplines: delaying gratification, assuming responsibility, being dedicated to the truth, and striving to stay balanced. Here's the good news: our marriages truly can become healthy, empowering both people to become more fully and responsibly human!

The book addresses the alarming trend among evangelical churchgoers who prioritize cultural values over the teachings of Jesus, attributing this to a "discipleship deficit" and a lack of engagement with the Holy Spirit. Gary Tyra emphasizes the necessity of experiencing the Holy Spirit in profound, life-changing ways rather than through mere concepts or rituals. Aimed at church leaders and Christian students, it advocates for a robust understanding of Trinitarian doctrine to revitalize faith and enable effective outreach to a post-Christian society.

This introduction to Christian spirituality encourages students to adopt a lifestyle spirituality, which involves relational intimacy with the triune God.
