"Establishing Glory" by Jackie Smith Jr is an amazing read! I love how open and honest Mr. Smith is with the reader, while discussing some of the most delicate and personal experiences in his life. I'd recommend this book to any person seeking marriage or courtship as this read dives into the true woes of each life experience while Yet acknowledging its most precious moments. Thus, leaving my rating for the book a 5 star! All in all, purchase and read for yourself! You won't be disappointed!

This book is full of transparency, honesty, and raw conversation on relationships. It is the perfect relationship handbook. The author leaves no stone unturned when it comes to being single, married, divorce and remarriage. I have experienced all the above and still found myself taking more notes than I have in a long time. This book challenged me to take a more in-depth look at making marital vows and how vital it is to hold true to your vows to make a marriage relationship work and last. The book is real talk, straight with no chaser. The book is a winner.
