A La Carte Collection cover image

A Wife’s Testing Ground – “Some of my most scary moments as a wife have been when my husband has struggled. Some of my most intimate encounters with Jesus have been when my husband has struggled. As a wife, each of us has faced or will encounter one of these scenarios…”

—Peter Lewis
