It’s not an exaggeration to say, Rick Warren has sold more books than any other person on the planet… ever. His book, Purpose Driven Life, is the most published, the most translated, and the most sold book in history, aside from the Bible. It sounds like rainbows and runaway success, but his story is anything but. Rick has walked through significant pain and loss that required levels of determination and grit he didn’t know possible. He has come out the other side and earned the right to be heard. His wisdom on finding, and living, your purpose has changed millions of lives. Yours could be next.

Dr. Brad Wilcox’s angle is simple—marriage is a good thing for couples, children, communities, and the world. As the Director of the National Marriage Project, he leads a group of committed sociologists studying national marriage trends in America. What he’s seeing is alarming. Marriage rates are on a decline, age at first marriage is on the rise, and many people are writing off the institution as outdated and unnecessary. Dr. Wilcox is using all his energy to push back on that narrative, encouraging men and women to pursue marriage because, in his own words, “nothing predicts overall happiness as much as a good marriage.” Whether you are married or not, there’s something in here to push your relational life forward.
