From the Author

"I share life's most private moments with readers, to show them that if I can over-come, so can you. I have no shame in the testimony of my past, because that is who I was, and not who I am today. No life crisis is too large for God. Not only can we be new creations through Him, but applying His wisdom and godly principles to our marriage, dealings with our children, and every facet of our life, has the ability to transform marriages, heal relationships, and bring a clear sense of meaning, purpose, peace and joy to our lives. Life should be enjoyed! Let's do what we need to do so that we CAN partake of this big, beautiful feast!"

From the Inside Flap

A record number of people today are not satisfied with their lives. They want more zest and depth, and are often not certain how to obtain it. Divorce rates are sky-rocketing, and relationships are lacking the degree of intimacy and passion many people express they long for. While my book, "Ecstatic Living/Ecstatic Loving," has a definite spiritual (Christian) flavor, I believe you will also find it’s applications practical and sound. I have gathered these wisdoms through studies of God’s word, a close-knit relationship with my heavenly Father since childhood, and life, in general, have all been great teachers. As a wife of twenty years, I know that even the most successful marriages have their highs and lows, and there may be periods where teens rebel, relatives cause friction, and friendships are challenged. What allows us to reign victorious, however, is our reliance on God.

Just as faith is action, so too, in order for this book to be effective, it’s truths must be actively applied to your daily life. Likewise, these wisdom’s must not be kept to yourself, but once "Ecstatic Living/Ecstatic Loving" is read, it should also be shared with your spouse so you will be more inclined to follow a common course. It is this straight and narrow path that will allow broken relationships to be mended, failing or dull marriages to shine brilliant, and to possess a deeper level of understanding and life-purpose which will bring higher levels of peace and joy you ever thought possible!

I found the book both interesting and informative. The boldness also added to the book's value. Even us conservative Christians can step out side the box and learn from the author's life experiences. It is a good read.

Honest reflection upon life, love and adversity

At a time when some of us struggle to reconcile faith with the world's expectations, it is refreshing to see such an honest reflection upon life, love and adversity. Well written and insightful, Ecstatic Living/ Ecstatic Loving may break you out of your cage and propel you into a new realm of happiness.

A Powerful Message

A must-read book for Christians seeking answers to life's struggles including: a closer relationship with God, issues concerning husbands and wives, raising children, and an opportunity to self-examine ourselves as individuals. The author shares godly insights from inspiration of the scriptures as well as from lessons learned through personal experiences. Highly recommended.
