MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Marriages are imploding all around us. Homes are fracturing. Families are shipwrecked. And one of the leading causes is sexual temptation that leads to moral failure. How does a guy guard his heart and home in a culture that is so sexually saturated and permissive?
It doesn't just happen. It takes intentional, biblical decisions to set guards and stand strong. And those decisions--or lack of them--will inevitably set directions for life which will lead to inevitable destinations. We are what we choose!
BENEATH THE SURFACE compares and contrasts two of scripture's best known men--Joseph and David. Both were faced head-on with sexual temptation. One stood tall--and one fell flat. And it all centered on the choices they made. This book pulls out both the choices, and the prniciples undergirding them, of both men. And they serve as beacon points to all of us on what to do...and what not to do...as the inevitability of temptatoin knocks on our door.
Journey through the lives of these two men and you will discover dangers to beware of that lurk around unsuspected corners of life's path. How to break bad habits before they become a "way of life" will be addressed head on. We'll walk together with how to make a U-turn in our life when needed, realizing that it is insane to keep going in a way that is causing problems while at the same time expecting different results. Different results only come from a change of direction. Simple, yet profound principles of setting guards on one's heart regarding thorughts, attitudes and actions will be handed to every man to use as tools for victory in his everyday battle.
And who of us don't want to leave a great legacy when our journey is finished? But to finish well in the future requires making the right and wise decision today. Kicking the can down the road, is a tragic decision. Your kids and grandkids will thannk you for your choices!
And for those who are married, or soon will be, there are helps all along the way within the book to strengthen this foundational relationship, making it better and more resilient daily. The eight questions that every husband ought to ask his wife yearly, combined with the eight a wife can ask her husband annually are guaranteed to take the relationship "beneath the surface" issues of life, and have proven to be a game changer for hundreds of marriages.

Review
...Bob gives practical advice to those of us who are committed to protecting the relationships we cherish most...
Andy Stanley, Sr. Pastor, North Point Community Church, Alpharetta, GA
This book cuts like a scalpel into the inner canctum of your soul and then, suddenly, you feel healing flow forth. Highly recommended!
Pat Morley, Founder of Man in the Mirror Ministries and best-selling author
Bob Reccord spoke into my life long before you picked up this book. With meetings in his home, and time at work, he spoke into my life about being a better man, not just a better leader. I'll always be grateful for that. Now, you can have his guidance in this new and updated edition of BENEATH THE SURFACE. As the hidden things are increasingly made known, use this book to prepare and guard your heart. There is no better investment.
Dr. Ed Stetzer, Billy Graham Distingished Chair, Wheaton College
I remember the days when affairs, divorce, broken families, adn other consequences of moral failures were heard about but not seen....But now, it's common to have a neighbor, co-worker, relative, church member, or even pastor struggling with such issues....Bob Reccord has stepped up to the plate to provide biblical insight and personal wisdom as he boldly addresses this painful subject. Bob doesn't deliever his message with finger wagging, but with a tone of compassion adn solid, usable advice. His words are simple but profound. My friend...if you're smart enough to know that you must guard your own heart--no matter what our stage in life is--this this book is for you!
Dr. John Maxwell, best-selling author and Founder of EQUIP and The John Maxwell Company
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that life-saving solutions can come in small vessels. Here's one for those who are serious about staying afloat in the murky waters of today's culture and its hidden dangers to marriage. Be sure to read it and finish well.
Bruce Wilkinson, Founder, Walk Thru the Bible and best-selling author of The Prayer of Jabez and Secrets of the Vine
This book will help you navigate the treacherous waters of our culture and keep you from shipwrecking your life. This is a must read now book for you and those you love!
