TESTIMONIALS

What Readers Are Saying

“ If you want to walk in step with the good works God has planned for you, start reading this book. As you do, be prepared to stop on occasion to meditate on a single unassuming sentence that could change your life. Judy drops them throughout, each presented with such humility, one could wonder if she even realizes how powerful they are. As a pastor who frequently works with couples, I’m adding this to my resource list.

Marty H. Postor and Biblical Counselor
