As a young bride, Jennifer Smith couldn’t wait to build her life with the man she adored. She dreamed of closeness, of being fully known and loved by her husband. But the first years of marriage were nothing like she’d imagined. Instead, they were marked by disappointment and pain. Trapped by fear and insecurity, and feeling totally alone, Jennifer cried out to God: What am I doing wrong? Why is this happening to us? It was as if a veil had descended between her and her husband, and between her and God—one that kept her from experiencing the fullness of love. How did Jennifer and her husband survive the painful times? What did they do when they were tempted to call it quits? How did God miraculously step in during the darkest hour to rescue and redeem them, tearing down the veil once and for all? The Unveiled Wife is a real-life love story; one couple’s refreshingly raw, transparent journey touching the deep places in a marriage that only God can reach. If you are feeling disappointment or even despair about your marriage, the heart-cry of this book is: You are not alone. Discover through Jennifer’s story how God can bring you through it all to a place of transformation.

Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

This book is an extension to my first book "Below the Line" published 2007. This book "Unyoked" will give spiritual information to those who really want to know how to withstand and unequally yoked marriage, how to make their marriage work. I believe the Heavenly Father gave me spiritual information and a message for anyone who has married an unequally yoked mate. Sometimes we may find ourselves unyoked in marriages. We find ourselves asking God to forgive us for making bad choices. While it may be true, being married to an unequally yoked spouse may force one to divorce court because of emotional or physical abuse. The Bible gives us a guideline as to how to prevent divorce. This book will offer you spiritual information with scriptures to mediate on daily. In addition, you will read how to stay married to an unequally yoked mate with God's help. Focus studying your Bible and learn how to follow God's principles. This requires work. My message in this book is that we must watch God's plan completed through man and woman of one flesh. God uses us through our trials and tribulations. These trials and tribulations are only temporary. Learn how to develop unconditional love for each other in spite of unequally yoked marriages. I have experienced being married to an unequally yoked mate and it is not easy. I have spent many hours searching the Holy Scriptures for guidance. I have spoken with other couples who are or have experience this most dangerous journey in their marriages. My day-by-day experiences were very rewarding because I know now that God still loves me even after I disobeyed Him and married someone who is unyoked. I pray that my message from this book encourage others. Remember there is a blessing in all that God has permitted in our lives. He is all-knowing God. He knew what was going to transpire in our lives even before we were born. Try to be yoke and not unyoked. God Bless

If you are married or planning to get married, you should read this book. I do not claim to be an expert, but I want to share with you what I have learned after being married for twenty-seven years in hopes that it will help you in your relationship. At the end of each chapter, a prayer will be offered for your marriage. Marriage today is under attack. The enemies that attack us individually, also attack our marriages (the world, the flesh, and the devil). Marriage is attacked by the world because of the modern mindset that marriage is not considered as necessary as it was many years ago. Marriage is under attack by the flesh because we live in a society where the common theme is that it is all about me and what I want. No one wants to deny themselves anymore. Marriage will require some self-denial.Finally, marriage is under attack by the devil, who hates marriages because marriage represents the love God has for his people. I believe the devil has assigned evil spirits under his command to destroy marriages and the ideal of marriage by any means necessary.Considering the attacks on the institution of marriage, this book seeks to strengthen marriages by addressing some common topics that married couples encounter such as communication, intimacy, and forgiveness. We will also discuss, why you need prayer in your marriage? Why is it important to have a relationship with God? Why you need to forget the past? We will even get into the everyday things that irritate us as married couples. We will also discuss the importance of supporting each other and much more.I know if you apply the information in this book, your marriage will be strengthened. To God be the glory!
