2022 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST ONE OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES' TOP 5 FICTION BOOKS OF THE YEAR ONE OF TIME AND SLATE'S TOP 10 BOOKS OF THE YEAR Named one of the BEST BOOKS OF 2022 by NPR, Vogue, Vulture, BuzzFeed, Harper's Bazaar, and more “One of the buzziest, most human novels of the year…breathless, dizzying, and completely beautiful.” —Vogue “Dazzling and wholly original...[written] with such mordant wit, insight, and specificity, it feels like watching a new literary star being born in real time.” —Entertainment Weekly From a brilliant new voice comes an electrifying novel of a young immigrant building a life for herself—a warm, dazzling, and profound saga of queer love, friendship, work, and precarity in twenty-first century America Graduating into the long maw of an American recession, Sneha is one of the fortunate ones. She’s moved to Milwaukee for an entry-level corporate job that, grueling as it may be, is the key that unlocks every door: she can pick up the tab at dinner with her new friend Tig, get her college buddy Thom hired alongside her, and send money to her parents back in India. She begins dating women—soon developing a burning crush on Marina, a beguiling and beautiful dancer who always seems just out of reach. But before long, trouble arrives. Painful secrets rear their heads; jobs go off the rails; evictions loom. Sneha struggles to be truly close and open with anybody, even as her friendships deepen, even as she throws herself headlong into a dizzying romance with Marina. It’s then that Tig begins to draw up a radical solution to their problems, hoping to save them all. A beautiful and capacious novel rendered in singular, unforgettable prose, All This Could Be Different is a wise, tender, and riveting group portrait of young people forging love and community amidst struggle, and a moving story of one immigrant’s journey to make her home in the world.

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and the adulterous. —Hebrews 13:4 ESV When our flesh takes God’s blessings and turns them into idols, we can expect nothing but problems. This is no less true when men turn sex into an idol and elevate its importance beyond what God intended. Whenever sex becomes an idol in a husband’s heart, it does much damage to the sanctity of any marriage. All kinds of problems rise to the surface which rob couples of intimacy and joy when sex moves out of its appropriate boundaries and takes God’s rightful place on the throne of a man’s heart. In Pure Mind, Pure Marriage, Michael Ryan highlights the process in which idols develop in our hearts and explains how sex gets transformed from a blessing to a curse when we idolize it. He also gives helpful instruction on how to deal with this idolatry once it has taken shape in our hearts. In Pure Mind, Pure Marriage, you will learn how to develop and maintain a biblical mind-set about sex which honors God and blesses your marriage. Pure Mind, Pure Marriage—the help needed to equip the Christian husband with a biblical perspective which will preserve sex as the blessing God created it to be. Keep your mind and your marriage pure, exactly how God has always wanted it!
