Scott & Bethany Palmer
Thomas Nelson, January 2013
The hidden key to a healthy relationship is not just managing money but understanding how the other approaches money. Every
couple argues about money. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been married for
40 years or dating for 4 months, money touches every decision you make
as a couple—from the $5 cup of coffee to the $50,000 car. And when the
two of you don’t see eye-to-eye on how much to spend or how much to
save, that’s when arguments turn into ugly toxic fights that leave both
persons feeling hurt and angry. It’s why money has become the #1 cause
of divorce in the U.S. Obviously, something needs to change. The reason
this crisis has not been addressed is because it has never been
identified, defined, or given a name. Scott and Bethany Palmer, aka “The
Money Couple,” have identified and defined this problem and offer
concrete solutions to fix it. Once you know your Money
Personality, you can get to the root of money arguments and start really
working together. You’ll discover what has an impact on your loved
one’s money decisions, and you’ll learn how to talk about money in a way
that’s actually fun! You’ll figure out how to put an end to money
secrets and lies once and for all. It’s not just about money
management, and it’s definitely not just about overcoming debt. It is a
whole new way of living that will change everything in your
relationship. Tens of thousands have already been transformed. Are you
ready?
Beyond Ordinary
Justin & Trisha Davis
Tyndale, December 2012
How safe is your marriage? The answer may surprise you. The biggest threat to any marriage isn’t infidelity or miscommunication. The greatest enemy is ordinary. Ordinary marriages lose hope. Ordinary marriages lack vision. Ordinary marriages give in to compromise. Ordinary is the belief that this is as good as it will ever get. And when we begin to settle for ordinary, it’s easy to move from “I do” to “I’m done.” Justin and Trisha Davis know just how dangerous ordinary can be. In this beautifully written book, Justin and Trisha take us inside the slow fade that occurred in their own marriage—each telling the story from their own perspective. Together, they reveal the mistakes they made, the work they avoided, the thoughts and feelings that led to an affair and near divorce, and finally, the heart-change that had to occur in both of them before they could experience the hope, healing, and restoration of a truly extraordinary marriage.

Placebo
Steven James
Revell, November 2012
Presto! The Bowers Files disappear and James's new series explodes onto the fiction stage with Jevin Banks, an escape artist who tragically loses his family and his nerve for his craft. Now he uses his background as an illusionist to debunk fake psychics and televangelists by replicating and exposing what they do on his television show. When he and his sidekicks, Charlene and Xavier, delve into a pharmaceutical company's research into mind-to-mind communication and therapies that could radically extend life, the worlds of big drug companies, counter-terrorism, and government collide.James's brand of high-end suspense distinguishes itself as Christian through characters that stare evil in the face and don't back down because of their faith, despite doubts and confusion. The writing, pacing and plot lines are impeccable, the author always pulling up the shade a bit for a shaft of light and redemption to make gruesome scenes somehow bearable. Much isn't fully resolved, but that's why readers like series and are happy to let money vanish and reappear in the pockets of masterful novelists like James.
