ABOUT PREP:

"Having heard Jack and Sheryl present to groups of Christian counselors, to my clients, my family, and to my wife and me, we have all found the presentations to be inspiring, practical, and enjoyable. Their presentations are a lively mix of scripture, solid research, their personal testimony, audience participation (unforced), highlights from successful authors, and perhaps the most readable, useful handouts I have ever gotten from a seminar. Any marriage or love relationship would benefit from these classes, and I couldn't recommend these gifted teachers with more confidence."(March 2004)

“I have been praying many years for people to discover from sound research why married couples separate and how to help them stay together in a loving way. I truly believe God has given us such a team in Scott Stanley and his colleagues. I not only give this book ‘two thumbs up,’ but lift both my hands in thanksgiving to God for the work they are doing.”
