Are you ready for change?
I’m guessing friend, you are tired. Quite possibly overwhelmed, even weary. Life is not going at your pace or playing by your rules. There’s never enough.
It doesn’t have to be that way. You don’t have to spin out of control. But you do have to make some changes and change can be hard. Trust me. I know. I’ve been making lots of changes.
God longs for a relationship with us. That’s crazy. I don’t know any rich, powerful, important people on earth who want a relationship with me. But the God of the universe does. And he wants a relationship with you, too.
I’ve dedicated most of my adult life to finding ways to bring you closer to God. Why? Because that’s where you find peace and the unconditional love you long for. As long as we’re breathing, there will be struggle. But God is with us and as we get in the Word and work in his kingdom, we’ll find his people are with us, too. Won’t you join me on the journey?

What people are saying:
My life has been totally transformed by Pastor Mike and Amber Albee Swenson’s teaching of The Word. I am eternally grateful! (Comment via ToG)
Thank you for what you do, for being open to God’s leading, and thank you to your family for their willingness to share some of their time with you, so that you can share the Word of God with thousands of others. (via email)
Love this book, I read all different types of books and this one had me hooked! It was both refreshing and real. It was a good reminder that not all the choices we make are going to be easy or right but that forgiveness can heal.

With the book written for women, I was obviously not the intended audience, but I found the volume very edifying nonetheless. I have no doubt it should prove even more instructive and encouraging for the intended readership.
