Today in God's Word 5/16/26
The only book you truly need is the Word of God.
The Bible is not just inspired; it is God-breathed, living, and perfectly sufficient. It holds every answer your heart is searching for. Whether you are struggling in your marriage, wrestling with your thoughts, or seeking direction for your family, God has already spoken. He wrote it for you, and He meets you through its pages no matter where you are in your walk.
In a world filled with books, seminars, and voices offering psychological advice disguised as biblical truth, we must be careful not to put our confidence in the wisdom of man over the wisdom of God. Every time we turn to a man-made book instead of God’s Word, we risk telling the Lord, “Your book is not enough.” But I will not say that — and I encourage you not to either.
My full faith is in God alone. Not in a bestselling author. Not in a speaker. Not even in myself. Why? Because only faith in God’s Word has the power to restore our hearts, heal our marriages, guide our children, and rebuild what has been broken. And that faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
The books listed below are biblically based and contain the same truths we share with you through Marriage Hotline 911 in written form. But let me gently remind you: no book written by man can heal your home. Only the Word of God can. And only His Word will do. These resources are for digging deeper into the truth of God’s Word — not psychology.
