A Cord of Three Strands, written by a woman on the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ, makes a distinct contribution to the current literature on biblical teachings about men and women in the marriage relationship and as co-workers in the service of Christ. The title is taken from Ecclesiastes 4:12: “A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.” The three strands, in Wright’s book, refers to man, woman and God.
The book is divided into two sections: the first discusses the marriage relationship; the second concerns how men and women can and should work together in Christian service.
The style of A Cord of Three Strands is conversational and easy to read. Other books may deal in greater depth with theological and biblical interpretations, but this one puts flesh and blood and living applications into each discussion.
