Invite Him: 16 Rules from Ruth to Help Your Future Husband Find You

Description:

If you are a Christian single woman who wants to marry a godly man one day, what does the Bible say you should do?

Since the man is supposed to pursue, many Christian women have been taught to “just wait.” But what if your future husband needs your help to find you? What if his pursuit needs to be complimented by your invitation?

When you study the Bible on this important topic of meeting and marrying the right guy, you may be surprised by how much God expects you to help the man!

The book of Ruth is an amazing story that provides us with a powerful, biblical example of how a godly woman can participate in the pre-marriage steps without pursuing the man. In Invite Him, you will learn:

  • How to desire a godly man in a glorifying way that is not tainted with idolatry
  • How to place yourself in the right location so your future husband can see you
  • How to interact with a man you are interested in so he will want to pursue you
  • How to be inviting in the ways your future husband needs in order to meet, date, and marry you


By following these 16 relationship rules that come from the book of Ruth, you will know exactly what to do (and not do!) to help your future husband find you.

Such a great book. Couldn’t keep my highlighter away because it’s so many great tips throughout the chapters. It feels like a father sitting next to me sharing sound advice. You will get to know about godly principles surrounding the areas of womanhood, being found as a wife, and kingdom marriage. Very satisfied with my purchase.

An excellent book. I feel that if you are searching/waiting on a man of God, who better to teach than an actual man of God. This book is perfect for application of scripture instead of just stating it for relevance. I feel a lot of the time when we are waiting on God for something, we often focus on what we don’t have or rush the waiting to get what we want (which typically never ends well) but this book gives clear instructions and biblical backup on how to utilize your waiting period while keeping God the main focus.

If you watch Mark’s YouTube channel, reading this book his voice comes through in every word (and if you’re not watching, you should be:) I received my copy earlier today and settled in to read. I haven’t stopped. I keep saying one more chapter and then I keep reading. The way God allows Mark to navigate the reader through Ruth’s story is amazing and thorough. My favorite part has been his biblically based explanation to follow God’s way and not the world’s way. These days it is really a struggle to avoid what everyone else seems to choose without a second thought. But that’s not God’s way. Mark thoughtfully helps the reader see a better, biblical way. God’s way.

As a Christian this book was really helpful to me. It made me realize that a lot of the stuff it describes is stuff I was already doing naturally. It also showed me areas of myself I need to work on and change for the better. All in all it was a great read!

I bought this book as a guide on how to obtain and deal with finding a God fearing man. What I found was that, this book spoke to me as an individual. I stopped focusing on trying to sort out a love life and paid attention to myself. You can't really focus on or deal with other people if you don't "fix" yourself first.

I love this book. I’m almost finished with it and it is such a challenge for me to even finish books lol. I follow Mark on YouTube and I love this man. He’s my big brother in Christ and I love that he never shys away from hard/awkward subjects. He speaks the truth and it’s always based off of Gods Word. A lot would say there’s a lot the Bible doesn’t tell us and I heard Mark say once that “we can know what the Bible condones by what the Bible condemns.” Something along those words, and it really helped me a lot. This book is a blessing to any single woman who may be struggling feeling alone and wanting to have a godly marriage someday. I recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks, Big Bro!

Thoughtful and straightforward. A loving guide sharing information so many women need to hear. I've already recommended it to several people. It's as if he took all his videos and put it together succinctly by focusing on one biblical story. This is so helpful, as instead of jumping all around the Bible and to multiple cultural references, you can walk through a beautiful love story unfolding while you learn in a stable setting. Really cool how God put this together through Mark. I hope he keeps writing.

This book is full of Godly wisdom and Biblical principles! Brother Mark gives many practical examples using the book of Ruth. I highly recommend this book if you know God has called you to marriage someday. This book will help you navigate pitfalls of Christian dating and teach you how to allow God to guide you through this process, and ultimately bring Him glory through your story.

Absolute gold

Mark pours out wisdom in this book and brings such a beautiful perspective to the story of Ruth. I loved reading it! This book covers the topic of “inviting him” in a full-circle way, whether or not you have someone in mind, which I think that gives us a much more wise approach in the long-run. I’m sure it’ll bless you as much as it did me.
