10 Choices Successful Couples Make

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“10 Choices Successful Couples Make comes from a man who has ‘been-there-done-that’ when it comes to pointing the way toward a successful marriage. Ron Welch (a close friend and colleague) has over thirty years of marriage under his belt, more than enough time to define these ten choices and put them into practice in his own private world. Additionally, Ron is a veteran in the graduate school classroom, where he has trained and mentored a large number of men and women who have gone on to be effective professional therapists. Finally, Ron has spent countless hours in conversation with struggling married couples who, under his guidance, have learned to make these choices for themselves. I really like this man, Ron Welch. I trust him, and I consider it an honor to introduce him to you.”

Don't Blow Up Your Ministry

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Michael MacKenzie knows what brokenness and wholeness in the lives of leaders look like. For years he has dealt with both in their various forms (moral, spiritual, emotional, relational) at the Marble Retreat in Colorado, where leaders come when life is in the process of (as he puts it) blowing up. MacKenzie's book (his first) is a must-read for any man, woman, or married couple in leadership who seek to chart a new path in the direction of lifelong resilience and effectiveness.”

Game Plan

Work, Money & Leadership

“When you know a man has touched the peaks of success in what he does, been in the pit of intense grief and suffering in what he has experienced, and made the resolute choice to serve God with all he has and is, you want to read whatever he might write about his life and thoughts. You want to learn the secrets heaven has whispered to him, to know his soul and walk his path. This book will make all of that possible.”

Lost Women of the Bible

Women

“Lost Women of the Bible easily makes my most-provocative” book list for this year. Excellent writing, thoughtful, and perspective-changing are terms that came to mind as I finished reading it (in one sitting). This is a book for anyone who likes to read about genuine courage, endurance, and nobility of spirit.”
