About

Week after week, they sit in church . . . alone. They are the spiritually mismatched, those who are committed to a spouse who does not share their faith. Feeling abandoned by their spouse and forgotten by their church, they live out their faith in survival mode, guarding the spiritual flame yet never feeling free to share it. But God wants them to thrive--not just survive.

Winning Him Without Words presents ten Christ centered keys to thriving in a spiritual mismatch. Readers are encouraged to commit to Christian community, to release their spouse to God's capable hands, to find peace in their relationships with Christ and with their spouse, to continue their pursuit of a growing faith, and to love their spouse with fresh enthusiasm. God wants every marriage to exude peace and love, and Winning Him Without Words empowers readers to create that environment in their homes and thrive as God works.

Winning Him Without Words was the recipient of the Nonfiction Book of 2011 Award from the San Diego Christian Writers Guild, one of the largest Christian writers group in the United States.

Endorsements

For those who've felt alone in the battle to win their husbands to Christ, help is here!

Take the truths these two women share and let them infuse your marriage with what we all desire: God's amazing love and blessing."

Karen Ball, editor and bestselling novelist of The Breaking Point and the Family Honor series

" I am the daughter of a brave mother who was married to an unbeliever. My mother's decision to follow Jesus even if my dad didn't made all the difference to me as a little girl and propelled me into Christian leadership as an adult. I am forever grateful for women like Lynn and Dineen who live out a message of 'God is enough.' Winning Him Without Words is a lifeline of hope and help for any woman who is struggling in a spiritually mismatched marriage."

Pam Farrel, relationship specialist, international speaker, and author of the bestselling Men Are Like Waffles, Women Are Like Spaghetti

"For anyone who endures a spiritually mismatched marriage--hoping and praying that things might improve--here's authentic help from two women who know this topic from the inside out. Never preachy or harsh, these authors reveal their own struggles and difficulties as wives caught up in spiritually mismatched marriages. Winning Him Without Words is a must-read for hurting wives as they prayerfully seek change in their husbands and meaningful transformation in their marriages."

Dr. David and Lisa Frisbie, The Center for Marriage and Family Studies, Del Mar, California; authors of Becoming Your Husband's Best Friend

"For the woman who is married to a man who doesn't share her faith in Christ, this book is a faithful friend who will encourage her in her feelings of aloneness, anxiety, frustration (and all the other emotions that come with living in a spiritually mismatched marriage) and point her to the One who can and will make something good out of them. This book will give great hope to those who may wonder if thriving is out of reach."

Nancy Kennedy, author of When He Doesn't Believe

"As a 'marriage' author, whenever I have a reader or audience member ask me, 'What should I do if my husband isn't a believer?' I have felt inadequate to support him or her. Now I have a new approach--pray and hand the person this book. As I read through these pages, I was humbled by the wisdom and encouragement that these women share--much of which was a timely reminder for my own marriage. With honest struggle and authentic hope, Dineen and Lynn show women how to make God the very center of their unequal marriages."

Kathi Lipp, author of The Husband Project and The Marriage Project

"It has been a wonderful gift and blessing to 'meet' Dineen and Lynn through their journeys. As one who is also unequally yoked in a spiritually mismatched marriage (to a wonderful guy, for 29 years!), the relief in knowing I am not alone is huge. That, coupled with practical keys they share as they share of themselves, has invigorated our marriage and brought honor to God."

Kathy Pride, author of What the Bible Is All About for Moms
