Following up our talk on Husbands and wives, we highly recommend Love and Respect By Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. A Focus on the Family Publication The book takes further our discussion of the Ephesians 5:22-33 passage applying God's blueprint for marriage to real life situations. It explores how married men and women ought to live and is practical in applying good biblical teaching to the reality of marriage in the real world. A wife longs to feel loved, A husband longs to be respected "The road to a lasting love and respect marriage is a lifelong one, and there is no way you can travel it in your own strength. The task is overwhelming, and you need the help from your heavenly Father, who knows your heart. if you want to do your marriage as unto Christ, you must ask Christ for help. Remember, Jesus said apart from me you can do nothing...."

Dear Gavin

I was so excited to be able to give away this copy of the
Anindilyakwa mini-Bible on behalf of you and the CMS-WA group.
Veronica came around to my place to have some fellowship, supported shyly by her husband who stayed well and truly in the background. We did some practice reading in Kriol and English, because Veronica is a Kriol speaker from Numbulwar. Then she thought she might have a go at Anindilyakwa, but it was very obvious that her language skills were not up to it, and gradually her husband came closer and closer, because he grew up at Angurugu, thought they live over on Bickerton Island now. He could recognise and understand easily, and he started to support her efforts.

I was able to have a talk with him, sensed he was interested in reading more, and decided this was the right time to give away mini- bible no 1.

Since then he has joined the baptism class. Wonderful, huh?

Gavin, I am audaciously asking for help for Linguistics. The Gospel of John has been translated and revised. There are no copies left for the GE Christians to buy. Before I left for holidays I was only able to photocopy some of the Gospel of John in Anindilyakwa, and I really wanted to get that all finished. Do you think there are people in your church who could take what I have done, plus the rest of the masters, and complete the books?? I could get the Linguistics workers to post it all down to you and then you could post all the completed ones back in installments, or lots of them could wait until someone was travelling north. What do you think??


Many blessings

Elizabeth
