“The Man of Her Dreams, The Woman of His” – Joel & Kathy Davisson
Joel and Kathy Davisson experienced a troubled marriage for ten years while in the ministry. Their troubles culminated in adultery while pastoring their first church in 1991. For three years they struggled and then began to learn fresh, life-giving principles of how to have an outrageously happy marriage. God taught them that marriage has been presented ‘upside down’ in the church for 45 years. The principles that Joel and Kathy started to live in 1994 set their marriage right side up and will do the same thing for yours. Joel and Kathy lived this successful and new paradigm for ten years before writing their story and sharing the lessons learned.
“Livin’ It And Lovin’ It!” – Joel & Kathy Davisson

Joel and Kathy’s second book is just like their first one.. it is radical, different, it teaches marriage the way that marriage should be taught (which is opposite the traditional teachings that the church has propogated for years) and most importantly, the way that Joel and Kathy teaches marriage ACTUALLY WORKS!

“Angry Men and the Women Who Love Them” – Paul Hegstrom The Heart Of A Man” – Ken Nair
From the earliest years of his marriage, Paul Hegstrom handled his problems and frustrations the only way he knew how: with fists and fury. Talking about the problem only intensified his rage. Going into the Christian ministry didn’t help either, the guilt merely magnified his despair. Facing a charge of attempted murder and a prison term, Hegstrom got the wake-up call he needed.
With professional help and an intense struggle with spiritual issues, he began the lengthy process of healing and recovery. Through a fascinating, yet thorough examination of the psychological components of various types of abuse, along with true examples from his own life and others, Hegstrom points the way back to wholeness and freedom.
An invaluable aid for the man who batters, the woman who feels trapped, and the pastor, counselor, or friend who desperately wants to help them both, “Angry Men and the Women Who Love Them” offers straight answers for those willing to overcome the cycle of violence.
The revised and updated edition includes a new chapter that discusses the physiological and psychological changes in the brain when abuse occurs.
“Broken Children, Grown-up Pain” – Paul Hegstrom
Despair. Emotional isolation. Self-loathing. Immaturity. Abusive actions.
These are just some of the damaging fragments that remain embedded within our personalities, behaviors, and souls when we are broken as children. The memory of the past may seem distant and clouded, but within its scars deep wounds remain that continue to inflict pain upon our adult lives–and often end up spilling into the lives of others.
In “Broken Children, Grown-Up Pain”, Paul Hegstrom, author of “Angry Men and the Women Who Love Them”, shows us the scars from his broken childhood and shares practical and proven methods for facing and dealing with the pain of the past. By using scientific research, psychological studies, and biblical principles–especially those found in the Jewish model of raising children–he points us to the place of healing where we are finally free to pursue authentic relationships and build healthy emotional intimacy with others.
This updated version of “Broken Children, Grown-Up Pain” is an excellent resource for pastors, teachers, counselors, psychologists, parents, or anyone wounded by an abusive past.
