Fifty Shades of Faithful — Mary C. Findley

In association with The Edge Books. theedgebooks.blogspot.com/ This work of fiction chronicles adventures in the lives of a couple with 20+ years of marriage under their belts. Sam and Vivian Tucker are not exactly conventional Christian marriage counselors. But they are a couple in love with each other and the Lord and they do have some life experience with “Song of Solomon marriage”. It is a mixture of suspense, humor, and love primarily designed to help marriages in trouble and to get unmarried people to understand the need for commitment and fidelity. The book deals with issues like adultery, spouse abuse, hiding things you need to talk about, guilt and jealousy toward family caregivers, marriages of convenience, and even child sexual abuse. There is no graphic or explicit content in this book, but there are some eyebrow-raising bits of advice about trust and honesty, playful communication to create desire, and gentle roleplaying within marriage. This book has some single people in it. Those who are, as Sam himself puts it, “living in sin,” may insist on reading it. It's not a sex manual. It will do you no harm. Married people of all ages have adventures, and this book includes all ages and many conditions of life.
