What an amazing testimony of God's healing power and how He can redeem a marriage through such a difficult time. Their story took me back to some pain from my own marriage, however it offered incredible advice to further heal the pain in my past, and encourages you to continue pressing on and moving forward in your marriage and family. WOW. What a beautiful testimony.

GET THIS BOOK! It was so enlightening and rich with sound biblical doctrine. I am an UNMARRIED person however I found a wealth of knowledge in reading this book. I’m grateful for the authors obedience to the Lord in using (possibly) the toughest time in their marriage to bless others. This is a must read, FOR SURE!

This was an amazing book (and I'm not even married!). I think all Christians - especially married Christians who want to grow in their faith should read this. If you want to know how to cover your marriage...how to humble yourself before God (when you've made mistakes in life...and who hasn't done that?), then you should read this. This couple does an amazing job showing us that. No one has a "perfect" life and I find when we hear these stories of redemption - it makes God that much more amazing...He has plans for all of us - whether it's humbling us (like he did the Meisner's) or He wants us to hear stories like theirs and grow in Christ. Either way...amazing! <3

Bob and Audrey Meisner's story is just amazing. I was so inspired after reading this book. Even though it's about how their marriage was saved, there are so many things that apply to other aspects of life as well, and that's what I found so fascinating. It was incredibly brave of them to open up their lives by writing this book, and they are a shining light in a Christian world that often tries to sweep its problems and shame under the rug. We're not perfect, and we need to stop pretending to be. I learned a lot reading this book, and I'd really recommend this to anyone out there who's struggling. No matter what you're going through, there's grace for you.
