In every age there have been exemplary marriages and betrothals held together by an indestructible bond. "A Cord of Three Strands" presents love letters of seven such couples spanning three centuries, written by people from three different continents in differing stations and occupations in life. Included are the letters of John Newton, pastor and hymn writer; John Winthrop, first governor of Massachusetts colony; "Stonewall" Jackson, soldier; Henry Martyn, missionary; Charles Spurgeon, preacher; and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, theologian. Each entered into his relationship with the firm conviction that if his betrothal and marriage were interwoven with Jesus Christ, then his marriage would have a depth, strength, and stability unknown to the world. This collection of Christian love letters from across the centuries provides inspiration as well as examples of Christian marriages bonded in Christ—an ideal gift for any Christian.
