Two Quick Reads
That Point the Way.

Short, focused books that name what's really going on in a marriage — one for the couple that's drifting, one for the couple that's quietly divided. Not a substitute for the daily practice. Just another door in.

A story worth sharing

A client at our salon picked up a copy of Built for Marriage. A few days later her husband called — not to talk about the book, but to ask for more of them. He wanted to give them away.

That was copy one. He has now purchased nineteen copies and is still sharing them with friends and family.

He finished the book. And then he started over — reading it again, every single morning.

"He finished it. And then he started
reading it again — daily."

A story from the salon — Carla Nelson

That's exactly why we wrote it. Not to put something pretty on a shelf, but to put something real in the hands of couples who need it. Something worth passing on.
