“Kay’s heart for the Gospel and years of experience counseling clients and training PRC advocates have equipped her to create outstanding evangelical training materials . . . Pore over this handbook and prayerfully apply its Christ centered principles within your ministry.”

In pregnancy resource centers across the country, every client who walks through the center’s doorway or calls in crisis carries more than a possible pregnancy. The caller may also be burdened with deeper questions about life and self-worth, as well as faltering hope for her future. She’s feeling alone and scared in her quest to “move on” with her life in a quick-fix world void of lasting peace. Yet, at this tipping point of opportunity, many well-meaning volunteers and staff feel unprepared, even hesitant, to offer spiritual support with those open to hear.

“I have been doing Biblical counseling for about ten years, and I have lost count of the numerous times I have heard wives state that their marriages would be happier if only their husbands would be willing to change. This book encourages you to invite Jesus to change you, the wife, to focus on Him, not the husband, in order to establish a spiritually harmonious foundation in the marriage. Even So, She Smiles At The Future makes you see the core of your problems, and gives you eternal solutions versus temporary ones.”
