Dear Author Miriam Hampton,
A New Song: A Christian Perspective to Bring Love and Life Back into Your Marriage truly touched my heart. I have been married for almost 40 years and learned so much from your book.
You share your journey with remarkable honesty and grace. Your narrative isn’t just a “what to do” manual—it’s a guide on “how to be”. I highlighted over 40 paragraphs that resonated with me, each filled with hope, genuine love, and practical suggestions.
Your book is thoughtfully divided into three parts: Refocus (Our Past in our Present), Release (Let Go and Let God), and Renew (Grow Where You Are Planted). This structure provides a clear roadmap for personal and relational growth. Miriam, your words showed me that the heart of every relationship flows from the love that God has for us—a love He invites us to share with one another, with Him, and with ourselves.
I was especially moved by your honest storytelling. In the early days of your marriage in 1971, you were two young hippies facing the realities of living and loving together. You also faced alcohol addiction. But you and your husband didn’t give up!
Your integration of scripture, such as John 13:34 and Galatians 2:20, gives readers a solid rock to stand on. You have shown us a beautiful reminder that with God, all things are possible, even the restoration of a marriage that seems to be in shambles.
Thank you for this beacon of light. I wholeheartedly recommend your book to anyone who longs for a deeper, more faithful connection in their relationships. (And I’d like to read more books by you!)
God Bless,
