New Releases by James Reeves

Healthy people build healthy marriages. With that truth in mind, author and pastor James Reeves guides couples to find long-term healing, closeness, joy, and the strength of a marriage rooted in Christ. Based on a sound biblical context and the proven 12-step model of recovery, Life Change for Couples brings scriptural principles into personal focus, to increase the emotional and spiritual health of both individuals in the marriage. Couples will build their own "toolkit" of nine memorable, life-changing principles that will continue to guide their daily relationship long after this workbook is completed. Designed for use within guided small groups, the workbook moves individual participants to personal introspection, giving them a chance to record their thoughts, questions, and discoveries. Participants are then invited to interact with their discussion group and with their spouse, creating opportunity for growth and learning. Motivated couples can benefit from using this in-depth guide on their own as well.

My one man, my two men shall mow me down my meadows, My three men, my four men shall carry my grass away, My four, my three, my two, my one, nay not mo, For to mow my hay and carry it away On a beautiful midsummer''s day. In The Idiom of the People (1958), James Reeves revisited the manuscripts of the folklorist Cecil Sharp to produce a selection of traditional English verse undiluted by early twentieth-century propriety. The Everlasting Circle (1960), his successor volume, takes a similarly faithful approach to the folk-verse collections of Sabine Baring-Gould, H. E. D. Hammond and George B. Gardiner. Restored to their original vitality, the lyrics assembled here sing out joyfully and strong. Songs familiar to us still - ''The Cuckoo'', ''The Carpenter''s Wife - sit alongside lesser-known verse in a vibrant collection of England''s folk heritage.
