[Kickstarter campaign for a book called "Slick Serpents and Bad Apples"]

This book’s message is highly important in the church today. For far too long, Christian women have been fooled into believing that choosing to date and marry an unsaved man will have no negative consequences. However, they are finding out that such is not the case. In fact, choosing to be in an unequally yoked relationship can and will have devastating consequences not only on the Christian woman who gets involved in such a relationship, but also on her children, and even on those around her in ways that no one may even notice. Sadly, the divorce rate in the church today is just as bad as it is in the secular world today, if not worse. Moreover, a lot of these divorces are caused by Christians choosing to date and marry unsaved people. I have written this book geared towards women, because I have seen so many of our sisters in Christ choosing to date and marry unsaved men, and the sad consequences of such a poor choice. That is why with the help of the Lord, and with lots of research, I have written this book to serve as a wake-up call and a sounding alarm to my sisters in Christ. The following is a chapter-by-chapter summary of the book:

Chapter 1 A Sad and Disturbing Trend
Basic introduction to the subject at hand, and goes over some of the most popular reasons why Christian women choose to date and marry unsaved men—and then explains why they are not good reasons.

Chapter 2 Who Pays the Price?

This chapter discusses how not only does a Christian woman pays the price for being in an unequally yoked relationship, but so do her children, Christian men, the church, and even the unsaved man she’s involved with.

Chapter 3The Gospel is Not Love Potion #9

This chapter discusses how some Christian women misuse the Gospel in order to get what they want—a husband. It also describes in graphic detail what Jesus went through in order to obtain our salvation, and why we should therefore not misuse what He paid for with His own blood.

Chapter 4 30 Pieces of Silver

This chapter gives a few illustrations that show how not waiting upon the Lord for a spouse will hinder your abilities to have a meaningful relationship. This chapter also shows how choosing to be with unsaved men will harm your relationship with the Lord.

Chapter 5 What You Can Expect From Your Morganatic Marriage

This chapter shows a typical pattern that a Christian woman follows when romantically involved with an unsaved man, and what she can expect to happen due to her willful disobedience of God’s Word.

Chapter 6 Suffer the Little Children

This chapter shows how choosing the wrong man can affect a Christian woman’s children in so many ways, and how they will suffer for it.

Chapter 7The Arguments That the Christian Woman May Give

This chapter goes over the arguments Christian women may give in order to justify dating and marrying unsaved men. Each argument is countered with God’s Word.

Chapter 8 “So What Do I Do Now?”

This chapter helps to show a Christian woman what she must do, depending on her current situation—whether she is married to an unsaved man, or if she’s going through a breakup—and how to carry on from there.

Chapter 9 Now for the Good News!

This chapter helps the Christian woman to understand that God still loves us, God forgives us, God heals us, God restores us, and God gives us another chance.

Chapter 10 What You Need to Understand

This chapter discusses what marriage is, what its purpose is, and the fact that God designed marriage and the family. This chapter also discusses the roles that a husband and wife plays in the family. It talks about what a wife is and isn’t, and what a husband is and isn’t. It also talks abouta woman’s role as a mother.

Chapter 11 What is Love?

This chapter goes over the true definition of love, as defined in 1 Corinthians 13. It dissects each verse, and goes over how it should apply to the Christian woman and in her marriage.

Chapter 12 The Virtuous Wife

This chapter goes over what it means to be a “Proverbs 31 woman.”

Chapter 13 Make Yourself a Worthy Target

This chapter encourages a Christian woman to know who she is in Christ, and what she should strive to be, in order to become the kind of woman that God wants to bless her future husband with.

Chapter 14 The Man Hunt

This chapter gives a Christian woman some helpful ideas on how to find herself a husband—or rather how to be found by him—and what she should and should not look for in a man. It also discusses how a Christian woman should treat her man once she has him.

Chapter 15 Get the Order Right

This chapter shows the Christian woman the rightful order that God, her husband, children, ministry, and herself should participate in her life.

Chapter 16 Pass the Wisdom Down

This chapter explains the importance of passing the lessons learned in this book to the next generations—boys and girls—as well as to the young women in the church.

Chapter 17 Never Turn Away From Jesus

This chapter shows the importance of keeping Jesus at the center of your life.

A Little Something Inspirational

This closes out the book with a little bit of poetry—just a little something to inspire the sisters in Christ.

I am confident that the message of this book will do wonders to encourage single Christian women to make better decisions for their lives regarding relationships and marriage. It will also help expose Satan’s plan for Christian women, as well as for the family. With your help, we can make this book happen, and this time, in a way that will be more acceptable to women. Please pledge whatever you can to help make this book a reality.
