“People who have suffered and embraced the grace needed to rise out of pain speak the most powerful wisdom. Troy and Kathleen Billings have earned our respect as having that unique wisdom. In the pages of this book, the authors do not preach from a lofty place of perfection in marriage, but with the authority of living in the trenches of the demands of sacrificial love within the sacrament of matrimony. We believe authenticity and vulnerability are required for true intimacy. Troy and Kathleen offer the reader a glimpse into how to gracefully become more authentic and vulnerable within a marital relationship. If you apply their insights and prayer into your lives, you will improve the landscape of your interactions. They are not just attempting to transmit their own life lessons but are seeking to assist you in recognizing and transforming your own. After decades of ministry aimed at helping couples heal the wounds that divide them, we know that it is only through encountering the Almighty in prayer that we are knit together with clarity, grace, and unconditional love. Allow this book to be a springboard to prayer and you will witness the Holy Spirit taking you deeper into the direction of your sanctification.”
