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
Philip Yancey
For Philip Yancey, writing is a way to explore faith. He explains: “At times we ask questions like ‘Where is God when it hurts?’ or ‘Does prayer make any difference?’ As a freelance writer, I feel privileged to explore such questions full time.”
True to his calling, Yancey wrestles in print with God, with the Church, and with fellow believers. In the process he has authored over two dozen books, including the bestsellers What’s So Amazing About Grace and The Jesus I Never Knew. In all, his books have sold more than 17 million copies in English, and have been translated into over 40 languages worldwide.
After surviving a church background of what he now calls “toxic faith,” Yancey ultimately came to know a God of grace and beauty. His recently published memoir, Where the Light Fell, tells that complete story for the first time.
Philip Yancey and his wife live in the foothills of Colorado, where they enjoy the glories of creation while mountain climbing, skiing, hiking, and other adventures in the Rocky Mountains.
