“June Hunt has a unique way of exposing our emotions and then offering, through her words and genuine compassion, the healing that will follow. Just think what 31 days of her anointed biblically based perceptions could do for you if you were really willing to see yourself through God’s eyes. Try it. It will change your life.”

Beth and Bob StapletonWhen
both
a husband and wife live their lives reflecting their true identity in Christ, there is no more beautiful example of unity…no more inspiring display of God’s design for marriage. Such is the case with
What a joy to know a couple who long ago surrendered their lives to the Lord, trusting Him with their future. As a result, they have continually been conformed to the character of Christ. Despite inevitable trials, Bob and Beth’s faith has grown stronger—and sweeter—with each passing year.
In this world, it is special to know even a handful of people whose lives so brightly radiate the love of God. But to know two, united in marriage, is a rare privilege.
I believe that here—and in heaven—there will continue to be a host of people who will say, “Beth and Bob, thank you for enriching our lives. We have consistently seen ‘Christ in you, the hope of glory’” (Colossians 1:27).
With deepest appreciation to:
Pat McKay—for your delightful creativity…from day one
Sandy Menken—for typing each word…even through the night
June Page and Keith Wall—for your wise help…at the very last minute
Jill Prohaska, Angie White, Barbara Spruill, Carolyn White, Karen Williams, Karen Billman, and Angie Todd—for your finishing touches…always with a smile
And to my dear friend, Dorothy Patterson—no one has encouraged me more to write…and write…and keep on writing to present
God’s truth for today’s problems!
Special thanks to those who are leading study groups using this book. May the Lord bless your efforts to help others see themselves through God’s eyes.
“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power…to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ”

PHESIANS
