Catching Foxes: A Gospel-Guided Journey to Marriage
There are many threats to a marriage--but every reason for hope. You may be surprised to discover how many potential dangers can be identified and confronted even before the wedding takes place, and God's gospel provides the means of overcoming them all. Are you prepared for marriage? Using biblical counselor John Henderson's interactive guide, you will gain understanding--understanding not only of spousal roles and marital conflict but also your own heart and the purpose of marriage itself. As understanding is established, you will learn how to handle conflict, glorify Christ in your union and finances, get a grip on your expectations, and address the sins that threaten your marriage. Catching Foxes is appropriate for individual or group study and may also be worked through with a pastor, counselor, or mentor couple both before and after the wedding.

Praise for this book
Self-centered views of compatibility, relational chemistry, and personal needs are too often the focus of preparation and counseling for marriage. Catching Foxes provides a Christ-focused, gospel-saturated alternative. Couples need to see that marriage has been given by God to provide a beautiful picture of Christ and the church. He has given marriage to fulfill and illustrate His mission in the world. They need to see how the gospel connects to their everyday married life. This book can help them make the connection.--Lee Lewis, Pastor of Biblical Soul Care, Radiant Church, Austin, Texas
I am grateful to the Lord for John's work in helping couples who are entering into marriage. John, with his many years of pastoral and counseling experience, prepares couples for the covenant they are entering into by continually pointing them back to the reason for marriage: the glory of God. He provides practical questions, but more importantly he focuses on how each individual heart is corrupted by its own desires and how the gospel of Jesus Christ redeems couples and helps them to move from overly focusing on each other to savoring Christ. I am thankful for his work and how it has aided many of our couples in our premarital ministry at The Village Church.--Rachael Rosser, Counselor, North Texas Christian Counseling
Getting married is one of the most crucial decisions in life. The importance and necessity of preparing well for marriage cannot be overstated--especially when the aisles of the average church are littered with both weak and broken marriages. John Henderson's Catching Foxes is one of our go-to resources in all our pre-marriage counseling. John helps engaged couples to truly understand their new covenant together and the impact of the gospel for daily living. His interactive study guide provides couples with many opportunities to discover each other, learn relevant biblical truth, and build a rich foundation for their new life together.--Kevin Carson, Pastor, Sonrise Baptist Church, Ozark, Missouri; Biblical Counseling Professor and Department Chair, Baptist Bible College and Theological Seminary, Springfield, Missouri
Finally a premarital book that cuts the fluff and delivers biblically sound preparation that paves the way toward a Christ-centered marriage. Brilliantly laid out, Catching Foxes provides couples the opportunity to engage with each other and mentors in honest conversation about vital topics. Faithful to Scripture, each page is packed with solid direction that will both challenge and excite couples to build their marriage according to God's plan. I consider this book an outstanding road map to a God-honoring marriage.--Eliza Huie, Counselor, Life Counseling Center
Our church has been using this book for years to help couples, young and old, work through a gospel-centered view of marriage. I've yet to find another book that is as biblical and as helpful at engaging the heart when it comes to this topic.--Matt Chandler, Lead Teaching Pastor, The Village Church, Flower Mound, Texas
