Roger Gibson Marriage & Family Pastor at Fellowship of the Parks Church and Founder of Man Up & GoThis book is sure to encourage you as you read of a story of two lives coming from harsh backgrounds, blending together after divorces, walking through difficult court battles and yet determined to Glorify God through helping others in their marriages. Overcoming child abuse and an all-out legal attack, are just a couple of compelling parts to the Angelos’ story. Yet they took the difficult trials in life, and with God’s grace constantly deciding not to hold onto bitterness but instead be an example of mercy and love.
Molly Godzich Founder and Executive Director of National Association of Marriage Enhancement (NAME)I could not put the book down, and felt anticipation every time I came to the end of Jerry’s story, wanting to hear Kate’s version of what had happened. The unique dual author style keeps the reader’s attention and allows him or her to enjoy looking at the daunting mountains and despairing valleys they faced together, as One. The book shows us how a strong marriage with Christ at the center is truly a TEAM effort.
