Together For Good: Lessons from Fifty-Five Years of Marriage Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In a world where selfishness is academic and values are ephemeral, the fifty-five years of marriage and ministry shared by Ella and Henry Mitchell is truly a saga of sacred togetherness. Their life together has been both a pilgrimage and prophecy: pilgrimage in the rediness and zeal to sail treacherous or even uncharted waters to find service in God's name wherever the need seemed most compeling. Prohecy as the living affirmation of God's transcendent truth and faithfulness in the face of human incapacity. Henry and Ella have lived with tragedy and overcame it. They have lived with success and survived it. They have been blessed in the blessing of so many lives, and they are rich with nothing beyond each other. No wonder they call the story of their lives Together for Good! Goodness has a way of attracting goodness (and mercy too!) all the days of our lives.

"Friendship is far more important to love and marriage than we had any idea at the time we married. Friendship grows in the fertile soil of common values and interests. . . the place each of us grows as a person and a mate. We've grown far beyond anything either of us had in mind 55 years ago, and we know it's because God blessed our friendship with a spark that set it all aflame in joy and fruitfulness," writes Rev. Drs. Henry H. and Ella Pearson Mitchell, who share the secret to lasting love and friendship in Together for Good.This memoir chronicles the Mitchell's 55-year relationship, beginning with when they first met at Union Theological Seminary, and follows them throughout their lives. Filled with anecdotes and the couple's down-to-earth candor, Together for Good tells how the Mitchells coped with the first year of marriage, financial problems, the birth and adoption of their children, switching jobs, and moving. The Mitchells, who've served in various ministry capacities together, talk about their "golden" years and how staying together has been an endless source of strength and joy-even through losing a child and the long healing process afterward. Anyone who's endured a relationship-whether successful or not-will find encouragement and support from the Mitchell's "golden" insight.
