For Better or for Kids

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Patrick and Ruth Schwenk have an important message to all of us who think we can put our marriage on the back burner once kids come into the family picture. They remind us a good marriage is the key to a healthy family. They know it is not easy but also know it is God’s design to put your marriage first. I recommend this book to all the parents who forget what a date night is, fantasize about the days before kids, and who just need to rekindle the fire and commitment to a vibrant marriage in a frenetic season of life. Read this book with your spouse and enjoy this season for all its worth.”

Gospel-Centered Counseling

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Gospel-Centered Counseling is more than a book on how to counsel others. It is a clear and compelling presentation of how the gospel changes everything. Bob has weaved the grand narrative of Scripture with practical application for everyday life. He has called us to be wise counselors who care about orthodoxy while bringing the Word to hurting people with love and care in such a way that grace is not compromised on the road to truth. I would recommend this book first for your personal edification and second as a guide to helping others grow and change.”

Gospel-Centered Family Counseling

World Religions

“Having spent over twenty years as a biblical counselor, I’ve often wondered why our movement has written so little on the subject of family counseling. My experience is that most biblical counselors are just not well trained in navigating the complexities of whole-family counsel. Having been trained in family therapy, I have a deep appreciation for Bob Kellemen’s inclusion of both parents and their children in the family counseling process. Gospel-Centered Family Counseling is theologically robust, philosophically refreshing, and methodologically rich. I highly recommend it to those counseling families and those training caregivers to work with parents and families.”

In a Boat in the Middle of a Lake

Christian Living

“Patrick and Ruth Schwenk have written a book that will help you redefine personal struggles and suffering from a biblical worldview. You will not find five steps to solving your pain or hopeful platitudes. Their writing is deeply compassionate, real, and profoundly hopeful. You will read how pain, suffering, hurt, and disappointment are never without purpose, never done alone, and never hopeless in God’s economy. The Schwenk’s don’t just know this, they have experienced it. If you find yourself in the middle of a trial, wondering Why me?, or wanting to encourage a sufferer, I highly recommend this book.”
