“If you’re holding this book because a friend gave it to you, you can count that person as an exceptional friend. If you just picked it up, you can count yourself very wise for buying it and poring through its pages. From my perspective, Before You Live Together is a book that those of us in the counseling field have needed for years. From your perspective, it will give you the wisdom and sound counsel you will need to answer the hard questions on whether living together really works and makes sense. Before you make the decision to live together, read this book.”

“I cannot think of a more practical, biblical, insightful tool for ‘soon to be’ or ‘in full swing’ grandparents than Josh Mulvihill’s new book, Biblical Grandparenting. Based solidly on God’s word, filled with meaningful research, laced with ‘I can apply that!’ insights, this book can help YOU walk well, wisely, and joyfully with your grandchildren—and their parents—in the years to come. Give yourself—and your grandchild—a powerful gift for their future by getting and reading this book!”

“Why is it so easy to get knocked off course and so hard to say "no" to the things that keep us there? Enter this incredible book. Perhaps the best book I've read, period, to powerfully guide someone out of the easy places and choices that get us nowhere. And to guide us instead through the "uncomfortable" places. The ones that really can bring genuine change toward what we really want and need most in life. Life is hard. This book can show you how to quit making it harder and actually reach those places of purpose, happiness, and rest you thought were out of reach.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“For almost everyone, anger and enemies seem everywhere. Which is why it's so important that you read this book—today. I wish I'd have known what Jim and Ray share here about 'enemy mode' being a default lifestyle. I started my 'enemy mode' training by hating my father. He bailed on our family when I was two months old. I spent years perfecting being angry at him and others, not knowing or wanting anything to do with 'loving my enemy.' But leave it to a Christian neuroscientist and a West Point General to team up and talk about those 'enemies' we all have—both in our past and present. Helping us know how to reverse that curse that is swamping our culture and communities—and ruining our everyday lives. Your marriage, your memories, your relationships with those around you will be stronger and more loving when you understand 'enemy mode.' Especially how there really is an escape clause from adding so many enemies and so much anger—in relationally living out God's love.”

“If you’re serious about impacting your grandchild’s life and faith today, and their legacy tomorrow, here’s a key grandparenting instruction book. Based on Dr. Mulvihill’s doctoral research, numerous interviews with grandparents, and strong work with the leading grandparenting ministry in the country, this is an important resource whether you have one or eleven grandchildren.”
Healing the Scars of Childhood Abuse

“Dr. Jantz’s counseling practice, speaking, and writing have brought hope to thousands. It’s my prayer that thousands more will find healing and rest for their souls by reading this book—in particular, those struggling with the emotional and physical scars of childhood abuse. If you are struggling, then dive into this book like I did. You’ll find insights into why the pain we experienced can make change so difficult. Even more, you’ll find chapters full of hard-won knowledge and skills to break the cycle of hurt you’ve been in, pointing you toward a hopeful and blessed future—starting today.”

“brain”? Or put another way, do you want better relationships by understanding how Almighty God wired our brains? If your answer is yes (and it should be if you’re serious about building a strong family), then do what my wife and I did: Read this book! You won’t find “over your head” technical here — just wise words from a couple smart enough to help you and me realize how fearfully and wonderfully we’re made for great relationships!”

“From the foreword by Dr. Larry Crabb, author of A Different Kind of Happiness “Peace is a lot to expect from reading a book. But I’ve read this book cover to cover. It’s here—a livable, biblical path laid out in a single verse that Jamie Rasmussen masterfully shows can help us settle for nothing less than genuine peace and joy. Let an outstanding pastor/theologian/leader point out a new way of thinking, which I needed to see and can change how you view and enjoy life as well. It is an ‘I get this!’ way of living and loving like Jesus that our hearts are desperate for. Our families need to see it in us, and a broken world longs for us to reflect it to them. Read this book!”

“Faith-formation begins at home—for better or worse. No one has done more to make that reality clear and practical than my friend and partner, Kurt Bruner. I urge every leader to read It Starts At Home as a first step toward joining one of the most important movements of this generation.”

“Who actually gets to sit down with their favorite author or speaker and really understand who they are? The events that shaped them? This incredible book lets us look "under the hood" at Gary Chapman, to begin to understand how he can be so humble and incredible at changing and impacting literally millions of lives. You and I get to read firsthand the stories, experiences, trials, and amazing life lessons that have shaped Dr. Chapman's life. Even more, reading his insights on all the places God has taken him can take us to a whole new level of trusting and loving Jesus and others. What a powerful, uplifting, inspiring look at someone who defines a life well lived—and challenges us to go do the same for Jesus as well!”

“Years ago we planted two trees . . . feet from each other and watched them grow over the years. In the early stages they were both nourished by the sun and rain and grew independent of each other. Then their root systems went deeper and began to intertwine with each other to the point where today if you look deep beneath the surface they appear as one. But it didn’t happen without struggle, roots wrapping around each other, at times crowding each other out and fighting for nourishment. And today they bring shade, strength, and beautiful color to our lives. A bit like becoming one in marriage. We bring our own root systems into our union, as we grow we fight for our place and ultimately become so interdependent and connected that we can’t discern where one of us begins and the other ends. Our dear friends, Gary and Carrie Oliver, bring a vulnerable, inside look at God’s grace in taking two strong trees and making them one, not in spite of the struggles but because they walked through the storms of life . . . together. The Olivers unpack an inside look into the God-given emotion of anger and how they not only grew through the struggles but glorified God and experienced the intimacy that can only come through the struggles. Gary and Carrie are two of our heroes. Read this book, Mad About Us, and they will become your heroes as well.”
