No Innocent Affair by Edward Mrkvicka Review, Excerpt & Giveaway

Edward Mrkvicka is a lifelong Christian, award-winning author, lay minister and counselor. He is devoted to saving families from the ravages of adultery, and the divorce that almost always follows. Most important, he is devoted to the innocent children who are damaged by the selfish acts of their parents who give in to temptation.

Mrkvicka believes the only hope for betraying adulterers is the Word of God. This is what he tries to do with his books and counseling – ensure that as many as possible know what a true evil adultery is, and that they know it before-the-fact, as it is far easier to avoid the evil than to get back once the line has been crossed.

His efforts on behalf of families, understanding adultery, and the devastating effect of divorce on children has earned him a United States Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition.

He started writing professionally in 1980.

Book Description: 'Thou shalt not commit adultery' (Exodus 20:14).

Have you found yourself contemplating committing adultery? Are you currently in an adulterous relationship? Have you been affected by an act of adultery? If you answered yes to any of these questions, No Innocent Affair: Making Right the Wrong of Adultery is the tool you need.

An avid student of the Word, Ed Mrkvicka addresses the fact that adultery is one of the main contributors to the destruction of the American family and seeks to reverse this terrifying statistic. Mrkvicka posits that few who engage in adulterous relationships realize the enormity of the cost of infidelity, both to themselves and innocent people in their lives.

Beginning by comparing God's view of adultery to society's view, No Innocent Affair explains in frank yet loving terms that unrepentant adultery is more than just an innocent affair. It is choosing Satan over Jesus and death over life. Mrkvicka desires to lead adulterers to repentance and eternal life with Jesus Christ.

Most importantly, No Innocent Affair takes you on a step-by-step biblical progression that leads to the sin of adultery being forgiven and salvation reclaimed.

Infidelity is no easy subject to discuss, but it is one that must be addressed. Follow along on this exploration of the consequences and ways out of adultery.

Excerpt:

Nothing could be clearer. Unrepentant adulterers will not spend

eternity in heaven.

So if you’re thinking about committing adultery, don’t. The cost

to everyone, especially you, is just too high. Adultery is more than physical

lust or an innocent affair and/or choosing another person

over one’s spouse. Adultery is choosing Satan over Jesus, death over

life, and hell over heaven. But God does not condemn us to that

fate. Instead, if we will follow the step-by-step instructions culled

from the Bible and offered in this book, He forgives us so we may

be saved. Of course, as with all things God asks of His children,

our obedience is rewarded far beyond what we deserve: “Then shall

the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my

Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of

the world” (Matthew 25:34).

If you’re in an adulterous relationship, end it. Now. As with all

sin, adulterers must first admit it and then quit it. Thank God we

can be forgiven, but only if we repent and make right that which we

have made wrong.

Lastly, no matter how far removed we are from the Light of the

Lord, we must never forget the life-affirming words of Jesus in Luke

15:7. “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over on 
sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, 
which need no repentance.”

My Review:

This is a great way to understand the commandment of not committing adultery. There are scriptures that the author quotes, as well as his opinions as a minister. It is worth mentioning that there is a chapter titled "Committing Adultery Without Knowing It". There are many ways to be unfaithful, and this book leaves no unanswered questions. In today's society 50% of marriages end in divorce. The author discusses society's roll and views on adultery as well. What I really liked about this book is that the author talks about forgiveness and new beginnings. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
