I Know How to Please a Woman

John Ortberg
One of the great
misconceptions is that the physical side of marriage should come

convinced our honeymoon would be 24-hour, nonstop passion. I told her,
"Leave the honeymoon to me." I know how to make a woman happy,
I thought. I knew just the place to take her; the right spot to put her
in the mood. Wisconsin. . . .

What Happened to the
Fireworks?
More often than not, we settled for a snuggle and sleep
instead of sex. Here's how we put the KA-BOOM back into bedtime.
Cynthia G. Yates
A new lingerie shop had opened at the mall,
and Joe and I stepped inside to have a look around. I found a beautiful,

Adventist Review October 9, 2008

Truth for
Today Revival Series, with Lay Evangelist Ivan Rolle, began on
Sunday September
14th and
ended Sept 27th on the island of Great Exuma, The Bahamas. Meetings were
held at the Mount Thompson Church Seventh-day Adventist Church nightly,
except Thursdays. The meetings were coordinated by the district
pastor, Keith A. Albury.
Apart from the
dynamic presentations, one of the high points of the campaign was the spirit
of fellowship enjoyed each night by the attendees. Members and visitors
alike looked forward to the opportunity for "spiritual fun" during the
designated segments each night. As a result of Lay Evangelist Rolle's
availability to the Holy Spirit, four precious souls committed their lives
to the Lord in baptism. “To God be glory...His Truth is marching on!"
