Readers, I've known this couple since they were teenagers. I fully support and promote their ministry, and I'm excited about this new book.
Welcome, Alan and
Nancy. What would you like for our readers to know about you personally?
Alan and Nancy Smith have been married for 19 years and have
three children. Alan has served on staff at Gateway
Church in Southlake , Texas Nancy owns and operates
Authority Press, a publishing company. They are currently planning to start a
new church in 2014 called Catch the Fire – DFW.
Tell us about your
family.
Alan and Nancy have three children—Lauren, 18, Anna, 16, and
Ted, 11. All three are currently homeschooled.
Have you written
other nonfiction books?
In 2011, Alan published Unveiled:
The Transforming Power of God’s Presence and Voice. Since that time, Unveiled has sold more than 6,000
thousand copies and is available in paperback, audiobook, and eBook formats.
Do you have any other
books in the works right now?
Both Alan and Nancy have other projects in the works right
now. Updates will be forthcoming!
What kinds of hobbies
and leisure activities do you enjoy?
Both Alan and Nancy are avid readers, although of different
genres. Alan enjoys large theological works (large, in the sense that they
could double as doorstops), while Nancy
can usually be found with her nose in a good story.
Why did you write the
featured book?
A healthy approach to singleness and dating will produce
more healthy and sustainable marriages. This book is designed to help singles
understand the relational factors that make for great marriages so they can
develop, demonstrate, and discover those attributes as individuals and in
relationships. Though written for singles, because the core of this book is all
about explaining the factors that make for great marriages, this book will be
helpful for singles and marrieds alike.
What do you want the
reader to take away from the book?
The dating process usually serves to confirm physical
attraction, shared faith and values, and common interests. These then serve to
confirm “soul mate” status on the relationship and lifelong decisions are made
on this basis. Our hope is to challenge many to look beyond these important
factors to those that actually predict relational success: self-management,
honor, and vulnerability. Then, within that context, we want our readers to
begin developing a healthy approach to confrontation and boundaries.
