most common remark readers make
SOLD OUT! I just finished reading your book, Marriage: A Taste of Heaven Vol 1. I thought it was excellent. It's the first book I've read that truly promotes the Biblical glory of the roles God has ordained and the beautiful relationship of marriage from a scriptural perspective.
I was most impressed with the section on the Song of Solomon. I've read that book twice and wondered why it was in the Bible. I look forward to re-studying that book with a new perspective.
I told my wife about how impressed I was with the book, and she is reading it now. We'll be married 39 years in October, and it has been a blessing every day. But even still, I think I'll be a better husband in the future.
I plan to order copies for my children.
I started reading your first book to my wife and about 3:00 AM we decided it was time to try and go to sleep. My wife and I have read numerous books in our 31 years of marriage; however, your material
has inspired us to the core of our being like no other books on this subject have. Patsy, thank you again and may the LORD bless and prosper your ministry as you share your beautiful scripturally balanced needful message in this hour.
These two volumes are the best books on marriage that I have read, and I have read many. I have bought and given away many copies, used them to teach and counsel. Vol. 1 is great for pre-marital counseling, to strengthen marriages, and to help save even very desperate marriages. Mrs. Dawson goes through many, many Bible texts dealing with the subject of marriage, deals with them thoroughly, and makes great applications with anecdotes, illustrations, and current events.
Her chapters on the Song of Solomon alone make the book invaluable.
My husband and I are doing an intense study of the Biblical principles of marriage. He is writing some sermons on the family, we are doing some counseling, and we have had a young married couples' marriage class in our home for close to two years. There is still much to learn.
I have had a book in my personal library for years and have never touched it until recently. I opened it and started reading it. It is probably the BEST study of marriage I have ever read. It is accurate, it is thorough, and it is well researched and documented. It is written by a woman who is a Christian.
She does a fabulous job of studying the scriptures. She has done a lot of research. She reminds me of how MUCH God HAS told us about marriage and families. I often hear Christians say, "I wish God had told us more about marriage." -- It's there! The Word is rich with instruction and application.
I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone -- whether you've been married for 50 years or one year; whether you consider your marriage healthy or unhealthy; even if (or perhaps "especially") you are still single.
The book is: Marriage, a Taste of Heaven, Volume 1 by Patsy Rae Dawson.
I was just reading this for our class last night!! It is sooo good, and is by far the best I've read in this "genre." I LOVED the part in the second chapter about prayer. Between this and my husband's lessons, we're getting the double whammy!
We have been using this book in our Ladies Bible Study for a while. I have not been through the whole book, but what I have read has been wonderful! I really like how she explains things through using scripture. The section on the Song of Solomon is great and has helped me understand the book in a way I never did before!
I recommend the book. I also recommend her 2nd volume, "God's People Make the Best Lovers." I haven't been able to read it yet, but my husband read through both books in preparation for a series he did on marriage and found them very helpful.

These Books Changed my Life
"These books changed my life. The author is an expository teacher and explains what GOD says in the Greek or Hebrew. It's not her "advice," but it's God's advice. I would have to say they are the best books on marriage I have ever read.
"I buy them again and again and always end up giving them away. I wish I was rich and could buy a big stack of them to give to everyone I know. Every one needs to read them.
They are such a radical divergence from everything else on the market. Imagine going straight to God's word for help and healing in your marriage...what a novel idea!!!!" (Florida Christian)
Love for God Increases!
"I'm spending lots of time in this study, but I'm loving it. Sometimes I am so overwhelmed that I have to stop and thank God for His beautiful, wonderful word. It brings such joy to my soul. At times I find myself singing aloud, "Praise His name!" I'm on a spiritual high thanks to you." (Oklahoma Christian and teacher)
"I became a Christian as a result of studying this book with a neighbor. If God was this plain about how to enjoy a happy marriage, I wanted to know what he had to say about other subjects. My husband also became a Christian as a result of seeing the difference God's word made in my life." (California Christian)
Newlyweds Benefit!
"My wife and I bought a copy of your book while in college. We have been blessed by all the good Bible teaching and principles for marriage which you have presented. God bless you for making His practical Word so easy to understand!" (Indiana Christian)
Marriages Transformed!
"A friend told me I desperately needed this book after listening to my complaints about my husband. In just one weekend of practicing what I learned, I couldn't believe the different in the way he treated me. When we visited my aunt, she wanted to know what happened, we had changed so much. Now she wants her own copy and so does another friend. Please rush the books." (Arkansas Christian)
Used in Successful Classes!
"I have been so excited about this study that I've told every woman who will listen that she needs this study. Our ladies prayer group has decided that this would be an excellent study to do, so as soon as we get permission from the elders, you should be receiving a book order. Imagine the great things that can happen in our chapel because of a crisis in my marriage!" (Canadian Christian)
"Studies with the women in the church here have been very edifying and have helped marriages. Thank you for taking the time to write such good books. I appreciate your word definitions, as you are very complete. Having only studied the Greek language for a couple of years, I know that I have much to learn; but I know enough to know that many who use Greek to prove points are not completely honest with their audiences about all the possible meanings. It is refreshing to study something that gives the whole story." (Bible class teacher)
“I gave one of the ladies who came to our first couples' class, your first book (I try to keep an extra copy or two on hand), and she and her husband had already gone ahead and studied the first four chapters. She told my wife, "This is the best thing that has ever happened to us." They went on a date for the first time in two years and contrary to her expectations they had plenty to talk about and had fun. He did not order alcohol, which he usually did. Obviously, they have a long way to go, but I thought you might like to know of that comment.” (Alabama preacher)
"The response to your book in our ladies' class has been tremendous and I just had to let you know." (Illinois Christian)
"Our minister preached a series of lessons from your book. After seeing his book, I was impressed and I wanted a copy for myself and my wife. I think this is a greatly neglected subject." (Oregon Christian)
"After teaching your book in the ladies' class here several women were baptized. Because of the changes in them, we soon baptized their husbands, too." (Gospel preacher)
"This series of books is so practical for both men and women, don't you dare label it 'ladies' Bible class' material." (Several Gospel Preachers)
"The preacher is teaching out of the Marriage: A Taste of Heaven books in our couples' class. The response has been tremendous. These books are responsible for much happiness in this town!" (South Carolina Christian)
