EXCEPT FOR FORNICATION Campaign
|
Across the United States marriages are failing at an almost all time high. Much of the blame for America's marriage failure lies with the Church who has either been confused over or outright unwilling to teach what Jesus taught regarding marriage, divorce and remarriage.
While many Evangelicals have allowed the world and pragmatism to influence what their church teaches concerning marriage a growing number of Christians are taking a stand for a return to the Biblical teaching that marriage is for life and that no matter what happens between a couple, there is no permission given by God to divorce and remarry.
Using the best scholarship available, Daniel R. Jennings has written what some consider to be the best Scriptural and Historical defense of the Permanency of Marriage. But a book that is never read, no matter how well written, serves little purpose.
That is why we are starting the Except For Fornication campaign. We need your help to get the word out about this vital truth and here are some ways that you can help spread the message.
Daniel Jennings wants the most people possible to read his research and that is why he has placed his book online where anyone in the world can read it for free by clicking here.
- Share the link above by emailing it to all of your friends who
believe in the permanency of marriage, as well as to those whom you wish would start believing in the permanency of marriage. (You can also download the PDF file of the book if you so desire).
- Post the link on your Facebook and Twitter pages.
- The paperback edition of Except For Fornication has been
very modestly priced at only $4.99 making it cheap enough to buy and give away copies.
- Give a copy to your pastor, all of the Sunday School teachers
in your church and if your church has a board give each of the board members a copy and let them know that you think it is important for your church to consider this.
- Consider giving away one copy to every pastor in your city.
Surely every city has at least one person who believes in the permanency of marriage. If that one person would just be bold enough to contact all of the pastors in their city with this message, that could make a real difference. Here is a suggested letter to send with the book.
- Share the link for this campaign with those whom you
know believe in the permanency of marriage.
- Call your local Christian bookstores and ask them if they
carry "Except For Fornication". If not, encourage them to carry it.
- Some Christian bookstores will allow customers to buy
copies of a book and then have them sold through the store. This is called "consignment". If your local Christian store does not carry the title ask them if you could consign some copies to be sold in their store. You can buy the copies at $4.99 and Daniel Jennings has given permission for his readers to sell them at a higher price and keep the extra profit if they so desire. The main thing is just getting them into the stores so that people looking for sound Biblical teaching on this topic can find it when they need it.

Read What People Are Saying
"I have read a number of different books,
articles, etc. related to divorce and
remarriage, with both the adultery and the
fornication views, and I have to say that
yours was one of the most well thought out
and explained positions that I have come
across. Your book covers just about all the
questions and objections that opponents to
the fornication view have. Thank you for
taking the time and effort to lead people
back to the truth of God's heart on this
issue."
-Jason Michelli
"I highly recommend this book for anyone
who is searching for the biblical truth on
divorce and remarriage. It is well thought
out and extensively researched. I believe it
will be a helpful resource for many."

Evangelical churches often teach that Matthew's divorce exception clause allows a person to divorce and remarry in the case of adultery but many are unaware that...
- This interpretation has been
rejected by millions of Christians throughout history.
- The belief that adultery allows a
person to divorce and remarry actually causes the Bible to contradict itself.
- There is another, alternative
interpretation which is supported by stronger historical and linguistic evidence which is being embraced by Evangelicals.
This work will take you on an incredible and surprising journey from the 5th century BC up until the present in an attempt to discover the real meaning behind Jesus' often quoted but seldom deeply studied exception clause. This work presents an in-depth analysis of Matthew's "Exception Clause" found in Matthew 19:9.
