About Me:
My husband George and I are ordained and serve as Christian Counselors who are passionate about helping hurting seekers and believers recover emotionally. Ours is a great commandment ministry, and our counseling is about developing balanced, healthy relationships with God, others and self.

We were inspired to develop a truly unique and effective counseling tool that we use in our sessions that can also be used privately in self help situations. It's an emotional recovery workbook for Christians. It's easy to follow, it's simply written, and it's transformed many lives. We pray it ministers to you and those you care about.

When you visit our site, you can order the workbook. You'll also find emotional recovery tips and tools as well as suggestions on how to seek safe support. We look forward to supporting you in any way we can and sharing God's awesome love with you.

Regarding donations, that's always a touchy subject. Ministries are funded by donations, and we are grateful to those of you who support us in this way so we can continue to do this work that God has given us to do.

Our outreaches include Christian Counseling (a good deal of it is pro bono: we have never turned anyone away who truly is ready and willing to make the changes needed to free them to be and do all that God wants them to be and do), writing emotional recovery tools from a Christian perspective like the workbook we talked about here, and encouraging groups of all sizes that God loves them, wants to be in relationship with them and wants them to be set free from who or what hurt them so they can be and do all that God has planned for their lives.

We encourage you to prayerfully consider your contribution amount, and we thank you in advance for it. We are grateful for any amount donated, but when you send $25.00 or more, we will send you a personally inscribed and autographed copy of our emotional recovery workbook for Christians, Encouraging Words for Life's Tough Times.


Warmly, with all love and blessings

Are you looking for love in all the right places?

There's been an ongoing discussion started by a dear sister in Christ about how hung up the church is on rituals but (my words) how much it needs a love transfusion. Yes, there needs to be ceremony, structure and order, but this needs to be in place along with the real reason most seek a church home: to find a reason to stay because they feel valued, welcomed and loved.

Many, including George and me, were sent on a search for a new church home. There are many reasons why people do

Can you be miserable and happy at the same time?

Isn't that a great question? What if your health causes you tremendous pain and hardship? What if you lose all or some of your physical possessions as a result of economic downturn or other circumstances beyond your control? What if you've been abused or betrayed? You get the idea. Those are certainly miserable circumstances that are unfortunately common to us all.

At the end of each chapter in our emotional recovery workbook for Christians, we have a closing prayer that goes som
