When a pragmatic planner like Rev. Derl Keefer and skilled homily writer like Dr. Randall Hartman collaborate, the effect is a resource that provides all the nuts and bolts of a wedding ceremony with the power and beauty of meaningful scripture woven throughout.
For ministers working with couples who desire a high degree of direction, Wedding Sermons and Marriage Ceremonies, Volume 2 is ideal as each ceremony includes top-to-bottom instructions, from processional music to the sermon, vows, prayer and recessional. It is also a treasure trove of ideas for couples who need a spark of inspiration to develop a unique ceremony of their own.
Each of the 12 ceremonies in this volume is centered on a unique theme based in scripture. Titles include:
- God's Law of Love (Ceremony 1)
- Establishing a Lifetime of Value (Ceremony 2)
- Prescription for a Successful Marriage (Ceremony 7)
- Marriage Is More Than a Dream - It Is Love (Ceremony 8)
- God: The Foundation of Marriage (Ceremony 9)
