When Sparks Fly by Mercy Balogun

Mercy Balogun, through this beautiful work of grace brings fresh perspectives and ideas to the traditional institution called ‘marriage’. Written in simple easy-to-understand language, she
uses everyday examples to teach, advice and mentor young  people on preparation before marriage, how to plan and pray for a successful union. She expounds on how to support a spouse whilst positively working on oneself at the same time!
She delves into the deep well of human relationships and brings a bucket along to draw out timeless truths on what will work and what will not. Mercy cannot be more honest as she has experienced more than three decades in marriage with its peculiar challenges and joys… she knows what she is saying and
this is not a theoretical framework but a do-it-yourself guide to success in marriage. There are chapters on virtues to mirror and behaviour to avoid to maintain harmonious and cordial relations within marriage.

Mercy calls marriage hard work and I add “made easy by prayers”, good intentions and deep communication. I recommend this beautiful book to everyone going into marriage, already in marriage trying to find what works and to everyone who wants to have better relationships. It is genuine, germane and practical.
When she says, “Jesus take the wheel” you best believe her that the solid foundation where peace, love and harmony thrives is in God alone! May each word written here inspire us to create blissful and joyful homes. Amen.
