“As a marriage and family therapist, I've noticed a shift in my practice in recent years: My clients of all ages express distress and confusion over their friendships more than ever before. It's a common struggle. But it can also be an isolating struggle as we wonder, 'Should friendship be this hard?', 'Is it just me?' or worse, 'Is something wrong with me?' With disarming humor, sharp insights, and practical wisdom, Kristen addresses aspects of friendship we often avoid, but need to be talking about. And Kristen Strong is absolutely the woman to lead this conversation. This book was written for such a time as this!”

“As a marriage and family therapist, this is the book I’ve been looking for for years. As Melissa so wisely says, singleness is not a stage, phase, or season. Most of all, singleness is not a problem to be solved but a route to togetherness. With the wisdom of a trustworthy guide and the care and humor of your best friend, Melissa offers inspiration, deep theological truth, and practical steps we all need to grow in community! The church and the broader culture need this message, and Melissa Zaldivar was absolutely the person to write it. Join me in underlining the whole thing!”

“Dr. Alison has done it again with I Shouldn’t Feel This Way! With the voice of a trustworthy guide, a wise teacher, and a close companion, Alison brilliantly shows us that feelings are not problems to be solved but gifts to be stewarded. And when stewarded well, our feelings can actually be an avenue of freedom, deep connection with others, and courageous action. I Shouldn’t Feel This Way is a practical and profound treasure I will personally return to again and again and a resource I am eager to recommend to friends and clients in my counseling practice. Join me in filling the margins with notes. This book is a gift—a gift we all need.”

“Miscarried Hope is the book I wish I had as I stumbled through my own messy journey of loss. Using the events of Holy Week as a backdrop, Rachel is masterful in walking us through her brilliant framework: the Five Stages of Hope. As a marriage and family therapist, I will use this as my go-to resource for individuals and couples who have encountered the pain of pregnancy and infant loss. As a mom who has lost five babies to miscarriage, I will keep this book on my own nightstand and pass it to friends who share this pain too. As you read, take your time—there’s a fount of comfort and truth on every page!”
Praying the Scriptures for Your Marriage
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“mature saints—here is a dynamic new book for every marriage. We tend to forget that God’s Word is called a sword in Ephesians 6:17. Every couple needs to become better at handling “the sword” for their most important relationship this side of heaven. With gentle practicality, vast experience, and deep wisdom, Jodie Berndt takes her readers on a journey of discovery and discipline, emphasizing the power and vital importance of the Word in marriage and teaching couples how to engage that power for marriage during prayer every day. Matt Jacobson (FaithfulMan.com) and Lisa Jacobson (Club31Women.com) The Praying the Scriptures series includes the most transformative books I’ve ever read, and this book is no exception. I can’t think of a better tool for marriages than praying the Scriptures for our relationships. For the couple who is thriving, for the couple who is at the end of their rope and clinging to threadbare hope, for the couple who has endured impossibly painful life circumstances . . . no matter where you are in your marriage, Jodie Berndt reminds us of words God has given us to pray—his words! His loving truth is the best news for ourselves, our spouses, and our marriages! Thank you, Jodie, for another life-changing book.”

“Rarely do I encounter a parenting book that is both inspirational and practical. This is it! Monica is the “mentor mom” we’re all looking for, and she has generously shared her insights with us on these pages. Her wisdom springs from her personal experience as a mom of four boys, current research, and most of all, her deep and long-standing friendship with Jesus. I am grateful for Monica’s gracious and countercultural voice, and I know you will be too!”

“was no surprise to me that Tethered to Hope is one of the most powerful resources I’ve read in this season. In this book, Adriel reminds us of the invitation that accompanies heartache: to ask ourselves how we will choose to steward our pain. I’m so grateful for the truth Tethered to Hope adds to the conversation of hope and healing. Thank you, Adriel, for this important work!”

“I spent a season of my life living in Southern California and lived through several fires within those years. For months following each fire, we were surrounded by black, scorched earth. But then the rain would come, and the most tender green would emerge. The destructive fire was the very thing that made the soil rich for new growth—a picture of God’s redemption in the wake of what we thought was ruined. Weaving his wealth of knowledge and experience as a psychiatrist with his careful study of Scripture, Curt shows us that like a fire, our pain can be the very thing that keeps us tethered to the hope of Christ, where our hearts are transformed and new growth can emerge. I read everything Curt writes with anticipation. God has used his work (including this book) in my personal transformation journey. I’m so excited for you to have The Deepest Place too . . . it’s a gift for us all.”

“When Sarah Westfall writes, I read. When Sarah speaks, I listen. Offering captivating narrative, scriptural wisdom, and a practical guide, The Way of Belonging will challenge long-held beliefs about belonging and offer a more life-giving approach to relationships as we consider belonging as a welcome we carry with us. Belonging is not something we passively hope for but rather a gift we are empowered to offer others when we absorb the reality of God's wide welcome of us. I feel excited about what might be possible in our hearts, relationships, and communities if we have the courage to practice what is written in this important book.”

This book will tune your ears to hear God’s whisper in your own life—the stories that God has written just for you that ultimately tell the Greatest Story of God’s loving rescue. Join me in accepting Kathy’s exciting invitation to begin ‘trusting the whisper.”
