In Reaching Jesus, by Father David Knight maps out a new path to a fuller life in Jesus Christ. This book is a guide to five choices to die to ourselves and rise to being Christ. Even though it is not specific to marriage, it was a book that calls you to action. Each chapter is brief and has discussion questions at the end. ($7.95).
