“Don’t get drug through the mud to end up at the altar in a dirty wedding dress”

I swear, every day of my life, not a day goes by where there isn't a relationship crises that I am pulled into. It doesn't matter where I go; someone is talking about relationships and marriages. Hell, love and relationships are the top talking points at my gynecologist office, geesh!

Both men and women aspire to attain a traditional “happily ever after” in their relationships/marriages, it seems. However, it's looking more and more as if the tradition of marriage is being discarded and strewn to the wayside in our fast-paced society.

Too many relationships are plagued with infidelity, abuse, financial woes, and an absence of a spiritual foundation. With that recipe, how can a relationship survive and thrive?

After countless lessons in my life and simply observing others, I’ve witnessed and learned a lot. If marriage or a committed relationship is what you desire, complaining to others will most likely not yield a positive result.

There are some things you must never forget! Some things are good. Some things are bad. Others are simply a lesson you’re meant to learn.

You are about to experience an immersive lesson on relationships and what it all means in this real world, and it's guaranteed to be a lesson you will never forget!

“Her white dress and white veil signifies her innocence, which is glowingly visible on her face. Meanwhile, her side smile tells the entire story of her tainted love affair.”

“Some of our behaviors were quite nefarious. Behind the “good girl” public image, there lived a fun girl to the 100th power!”

“But through it all, your father always professed his love for me. He swore he'd never leave me. He said he didn’t know why he beat me, but he was so sorry…always sorry.”

 “I thought if I could just hold on and gain the title of being his wife, all the wrongdoings would somehow instantaneously be made right.”

 “He would come by our house to see my mother for a few hours, here and there. He never once stayed overnight.”

 “Barely able to speak, she said, “I can't do this anymore.”

About the Author

I was born and raised in Atlanta Georgia where fun times, eateries and big business with an international flair is always a “trending topic!”

They call us “Grady babies” because if you’re a native Atlantan, then more likely than not, you were born at Grady Memorial Hospital.

I am the middle of seven children. My greatest accomplishment to date is being gifted with the awesome title of “Mommie” to three adult children and five grandbabies, who dare not ever call me Grandma!

I was born to entertain. However, being a “Preacher's Kid”, I often felt my outgoing personality and passion for music, clubs, bars and large crowds seemed misplaced.

I became known to many around the city after co-hosting large outdoor cookouts and other promoter events. I was instrumental in producing a wave of local football viewing parties, which is now a worldwide phenomenon.

I am proud to have spearheaded an all-female indie record label, supported by an all-female promotion team, at a time when none existed. I was born to entertain.

Like most, I too have struggled through the perplexity of failed relationships. But the institution of marriage, coupled with a strong family structure remains paramount for harmony to exist within our society. God is asking us to come back to the Bridegroom. Will you come?

Okay guy so I've finished my first pandemic reading Experience.
Dirty Wedding Dress The Dirty Past.
When I tell you this is a Must-Read.
I met this young Lady through her sister. Christa Malone whom I call my goddaughter over 20 years ago.
After meeting Audrey & "Christy Buggy's" mother Pastor Betty Malone. Betty & I fastly became very Close Friends. I've always known Audrey to have an Entrepreneur Spirit! When we first met she was just closing down Her Beauty Salon. 
She had acquired her Broker's License and open up her Real Estate company A+ Capital Mortgage. Where she Employed me as a Loan Processor back in 2000. So when I heard Audrey had written a book. I was not Surprised. 
About three weeks ago I purchased Audrey's book via Amazon Prime. Truthfully at first I did it really just in Support. After Audrey & I spoke over the phone talking for about an hour about her Book where our life Journey had taken us & what the Future held for her. 
I decided I better read it for myself. From that point I have not been able to put it down. Due to my weekly chores. Taking on the role as Monday through Friday Gigi/teacher. I've only been able to read on the weekend's. But when I tell you I'm sad to come to the end. Because this book was sooo Good!!!
I've been Married for over 40 years now & some of the experiences in this book holds as true life experiences. An ohhhh but the Spiritual Imput from Pastor Betty in chapter 21. Which was one of my Favorite parts! Thank God that's where He see fit for my Marriage to be today . It was so Uplifting...
I Encourage Everyone weather married single looking to be married or just looking for something good to read.
Please Purchase this book You Won't Regret lt.
Hats off to you "Author Audrey Malone".
Young Lady once again you've done your Thing!!

“When my daughter Audrey told me she was going to write a book; She never gave me details about the book, really.
 
But, when I read the book; it BLEW ME AWAY!
The storylines were fantastic. The creativity of the writing was electrifying!
 
There were many storylines that I connected to. But, I was really drawn to Madison and Ethan. I witnessed the power of God first hand.
 
I laughed, cried and rejoiced!! I encourage everyone to go out and buy this book.I rate this book 10 out of 10 stars
 
Angela McDowell
If your looking for a great book to read, I highly recommend this book. The title carry weight, be prepared for the message. You will find that there is at least one, if not more paragraphs, that will encourage, uplift and give insight to any relationship. Audrey Malone, your book will serve as a therapeutic overhaul to all relationships, good and bad. “The Dirty Wedding Dress”, will cleanse some souls.
 
Christa Malone
I’m excited to say that I just finished reading my sister Audrey Malone’s first book. My first reaction was WOW, big Sis is an author, and a good one!
 
Vuntressa Brown
I said to myself “ O I’ll take my time and read it over a few days”...... Girl, I read that book in one day! As a matter of fact, 3-4 hours. Once I got into it, I wanted to know what would happen next!! Men should definitely read this book too!!
 
Kim Hunt
So, I started reading this book last night. I got through about 50 pages and said “ok I will just read a little everyday for the next few days” NOPE! While sitting under the hair dryer today it was like the book just took flight!! I could not put it down and was done within 2 hours!!! Audrey you were right, there were lots of twists and turns, chile I had to just put my seatbelt on and enjoy the ride! If you haven’t purchased your copy don’t wait because I foresee a virtual book club meeting coming soon I related, felt empathy, felt compassion, and felt the spirit! This was a great read! One of my favorite lines “There comes an instance in one’s life when an action or inaction can completely change the tide of a situation” #Proud #COD

Good, But Realize Its Limits
Format: Hardcover
I agree with the other reviewers who spoke highly of this resource. It is a fine resource for NT studies. However, realize that it isn't really a commentary like most of us are used to (in my opinion, the title is a little misleading). Rather, it is only a commentary on the NT texts that clearly quote OT texts. The book does not comment on entire NT books, but only some select verses. For example, I used this book studying Mark and it only discussed around 30 phrases from the Gospel of Mark - those verses in Mark that are clear OT citations. I wasn't able to use it in Mark studies as much as I had hoped. I realize this is what the book is supposed to do, and it does it very well. Just remember it won't be useful for NT texts that aren't OT quotes. This isn't a critique, just an observation for those interested. You won't be able to use this resource all the time, but it's helpful for those NT texts where an OT citation is found. FYI, I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the citations in the articles are not footnotes, but contained in the articles themselves [It looks like this: (eg. R.P. Martin 1974: 97; O'Brien 1982: 151; Hubner 1997a: 91; Gnilka 1980: 168; Barth and Blanke 1994:357, etc.)]. Some citations are very lengthy, which makes it quite cumbersome to read at times. Also, this is subjective I suppose, but I didn't like the font at all (it seemed too tight). All in all, this is a good book for what it does - just realize what it does before you buy it and you won't be disappointed.

Can't ask for more, but I want more.
Format: Hardcover
Really, this is just a start. Any commentary is. But this is one of the best because it proceeds from a radical premise: the whole Bible is from God, giving His point of view and superceding that of the human author. Not that this is promoted self-consciously or consistently from each contributor. But the structure of the enterprise is such that they are sucked back into presenting how it is that the old testament is so thoroughly imbued in NT writings, including in ways which both OT and NT writers could not have intended. Treading down this path forces us to question all those teachings we've had where we were told: "Matthew (or Paul or John ...) here had in mind xyz." When Matthew wrote his gospel, we might now surmise that we can't be sure what he himself had in mind, because what we wrote was superintended to the degree that Matthew's sinful thoughts were NOT what ended up on parchment. God's thoughts are there, pure and untainted by Matthew's natural limitations and sin. Attempts to work from Matthew's sinful thoughts and culture to God's meaning miss the point that whatever Matthew was in his head was NOT the end product that flowed out his quill. Remember when Caiaphas spoke what he thought naturally about how it is better for one man to die rather than the whole nation take a hit? He meant it for evil, but God superintended it to be ultimate truth, regardless of that speaker's intent. Same with all holy writings. Yes, holy men of old spake as they were moved, but their holiness does not naturally come out in uncontaminated speech -- that takes a special work of God. This commentary allows for that premise. There's something way more than human going on that ties this whole Bible together in one theme from one Writer. Don't get me wrong, not all these contributors seem to subscribe to my radical conclusions above, although I think the editors do. And their prescribed structure for this commentary nudge the contributors into a path that I think leads to a more theocentric authorship. So this is a good start, but nothing beats trying to read the Bible itself from God's point of view, rather than the hallowed and misguided grammatial-historical human focused approach.

An Excellent Resource for all Students of the Bible
Format: Hardcover
This is an incredible resource that looks at New Testament passages in their relation to the Old Testament. The authors go well beyond mere cross referencing and provide in-depth exegetical commentary on the New Testament and the Old Testament contexts. The writers adeptly address specific and general references by the New Testament to the Old Testament. The authors of the chapters of the book are seasoned Biblical writers that incorporate the best from existing commentaries on their subjects in addition to offering their own profound insights. This is a rich resources that is simple, cogent, well written and easy to read. Each chapter has extensive bibliographies indicating the thoroughness of the research. This is a resource book to definitely add to your library for personal devotional use, a writing resource or a preaching resource. I am very pleased with it so far. Craig Stephans, author of
