In pregnancy resource centers across the country, every client who walks through the door—or calls in crisis—is carrying more than an unexpected pregnancy. They're carrying deep questions about life, worth, hope, and the future. They're often scared, alone, and searching for real answers in a world that offers quick fixes but no lasting peace. Yet too many well-meaning volunteers and staff feel unprepared or hesitant when the moment arrives to share the hope of Jesus.

“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.”
