Looking for a way to keep going?
These six conversations are just a glimpse into the type of conversations prompted by our new marriage study, Art of Marriage, currently 25% off through August 31.
If you’ve been craving more—more connection, more understanding, more joy together—Art of Marriage is a powerful next step. This six-session, video-based study dives into the core of how to love our spouse the way God loves us: how to have an unwavering love no matter the challenge, a love full of strength and resiliency, a love that is selfless, a love that forgives because of the grace He has shown us, a love so intimate that you feel fully known and seen, and a love that is a representation of Christ just in how others see you love each other.
You can walk through it with friends, a small group, host an event at your church, or go through it with just the two of you. Learn more or preview session one at ArtofMarriage.com
About the Guest
Jennie Bishop
Jennie Bishop, a farm girl from Ohio, was formerly an editor for Warner press and is a home-schooling mom who has authored several children’s books, including the bestseller The Princess and the Kiss. Jennie has enjoyed writing since she was a child. She says her first venture into the world of publishing came in elementary school when her piano teacher ran off some copies of stories Jennie had written for distribution to classmates.
A music and drama major in college, Jennie intended to go on Broadway. Instead, while traveling as a musician with her husband, she took her computer with her, writing stories about her experiences. She says time with her family is a priority now and fits writing in around a homeschool schedule and ministry work.
Jennie’s best-known books deal with issues of purity and family. The Princess and the Kiss is a parable on the topic of purity that is appropriate even for young children. Jennie explains that the idea for this book came when her daughter arrived home one day from kindergarten and announced, “Mom, all my girlfriends have boyfriends. I need one, too.”
Since the publication of The Princess and the Kiss, Jennie has also written The Squire and the Scroll for boys, along with companion Life Lessons devotionals for each of these children’s stories based on purity. Her latest book, The Garden Wall, presents a model for friendship and marriage based on 1 Corinthians 13.
Jennie has also founded a ministry called PurityWorks which teaches strategies for Planned Purity to parents and families all over the world through conferences, speaking engagements, partnerships and relief efforts in countries like the Ukraine, Nigeria, Kenya and Tanzania.
Jennie lives in Orlando, Florida with her husband, Randy, and their two daughters. More information about her books and efforts is available through www.purityworks.org and www.jenniebishop.com.
