What separates happy marriages from miserable ones?
Surprisingly, it’s not healthy communication. It’s not conflict resolution skills. It’s actually the size of the marriage’s joy gap . 
Joy Gap/joi gap/ (n.)-1. The length of time between moments of shared joy 
When the joy gap gets bigger, problems are more likely to overwhelm you, resentment creeps in, and you start to feel distant and alone in your marriage. When the joy gap is smaller, you regularly feel connected and happy, problems feel manageable, and your marriage becomes a reliable source of joy. But how do you ensure that you’re experiencing joy regularly?
Marcus Warner and Chris Coursey have studied relationships (and neuroscience) and discovered four habits that keep joy regular and problems small. Some couples do them naturally, but anyone can learn. That’s why each chapter includes 15-minute exercises that boost joy and re-train your brain to make joy your default setting. You’ll learn new skills including how to: 
<ul>
<li>return to joy more quickly after disconnection</li>
<li>create stronger bonds and elongate times of happiness</li>
<li>boost your enjoyment of physical and emotional intimacy</li>
</ul>
Find out what your marriage looks like after a little work and a whole lot of joy.

“If we were created for joy, and if every relational system in the world is modeled, ultimately, after the family, then who would not want to know how to raise joy-filled children who themselves then go on to be conduits of that joy in every institution they occupy? With The 4 Habits of Raising Joy-Filled Kids, Chris Coursey and Marcus Warner have given us a gem of a book that not only will change how you parent but also bring deep, lasting hope to all of your relational interactions. Read this book prepared to work. Read it prepared to be changed. But mostly, read it for the joy that is waiting for you as you do.” –CURT THOMPSON, MD, Author, The Soul of Shame and Anatomy of the Soul 
“The journey from infancy to maturity is one that no child can make alone. Children need parents not merely to provide but to support and guide. But who will support and guide the parents? Marcus Warner and Chris Coursey have a keen understanding of the developmental needs of three-year-olds, thirteen-year-olds, and thirty-year-olds. Not only insightful but eminently practical, The 4 Habits of Raising Joy-Filled Kids is a primer every parent should read.”–BILL ST. CYR, PHD, cofounder of Ambleside Schools International 
“Chris Coursey and Marcus Warner approach parenting from a different perspective than any parenting book I have read. In The 4 Habits of Raising Joy-Filled Kids, they hold up a worthy goal: raising children who are motivated by relational joy instead of fear. My one critique of this book is that they didn’t write this book twenty years ago when our kids were young. If you are a parent or if you know a parent, this book is a gold mine. I’m already counting how many copies I plan to give away.”–MICHEL HENDRICKS, Director of Consulting at Life Model Works and coauthor of The Other Half of Church 
“In The 4 Habits of Raising Joy-Filled Kids, Coursey and Warner provide needed resources to parents who want to build a relational home of joy and peace. This is what every parent who seeks counsel or coaching desires to learn. Every parent or soon to be parent wants this must-read book on how to raise resilient kids.” –LORI A. MATEER, MA, LPC, Red Rocks Church University Classes Counselor/Trainer 
“The 4 Habits of Raising Joy-Filled Kids is an excellent parenting resource! It is full of practical and helpful insights into building joy-filled kids while encouraging growth and maturity at every stage of development.”–STEFANIE HINMAN, MS-ATR, BCCC, art therapist and counselor, coauthor of Building Bounce, author of Building Bounce with Kids 
“Few jobs are more rewarding or difficult than that of parenting. Warner and Coursey, in their book The 4 Habits of Raising Joy-Filled Kids, offer solid help in navigating the challenging waters of parenthood. Their material is insightful, encouraging, and abundantly practical. You’ll find that not only does their material equip you for becoming a better parent but a better person as well.”–

Too many Christians are stuck and unable to go deeper in their walk with God because traditional discipleship models are overly left-brained and miss the heart. These models are broken and need to be re-engineered if the Western Church is going to produce spiritually vibrant and emotionally mature disciples. In A Deeper Walk, Marcus Warner examines how status quo discipleship broke down and provides a model for whole-brained, heart-focused discipleship based on the gospel's four essential elements: freedom, identity, spirit, and heart-focused community—FISH. A Bible teacher at heart, Marcus Warner is the president of Deeper Walk International and has a passion for taking complex topics and making them practical and accessible for everyone. A Deeper Walk is the flagship title from this growing and dynamic organization seeking to revolutionize the way discipleship is done in the West.

Breakthrough!: 5 Essential Strategies for Freedom, Healing, and Wholeness

Nearly five hundred years ago, the church made a sharp left turn in response to the Enlightenment. This shift created a skewed paradigm that has left the church offering solutions for character change that have not worked. There are far too many Christians living as if real character change will only happen on the other side of eternity. But what if Christ-likeness was meant to be a reality in this life? Is it really necessary for so many Christians to feel like the best they can do is hold on until they die? In The Solution of Choice, Dr. Marcus Warner and Dr. Jim Wilder will see how four great Enlightenment ideas have neutralized the church and how something we all know but rarely understand can bring us transformed lives.

Let’s face it: Life is hard. We all get overwhelmed at times. 
But some people seem to bounce back from their upset emotions faster than most. 
Are they just born happy? Or is there a secret to building emotional resilience that anyone can learn? 
Building Bounce explains the theory behind growing emotional resilience and provides practical tools you can use in a variety of settings, such as growing your own emotional capacity, parenting children in ways that build joy, and helping others who live low-joy lives learn the skills that grow joy. The good news is that wherever you are starting this journey, growth is possible. People used to believe we were victims of the wiring in our brains. We now know that our brains can be rewired. In Building Bounce you will learn how to train your brain by building habits that increase your ability to bounce back from the hard things in life.

I'm excited to have this book as a resource both personally and professionally!" 
- Melissa Finger, MS, Executive Director + Counselor, Seek First Ministries \n"There is a new and better psychology grounded in neuroscience breakthroughs that is displacing much of the past guesswork in this fascinating and noble field of study. Oddly, much of what the research has unveiled confirms the ancient wisdom of the Bible. It's easy to see in retrospect. In 
Building Bounce, Warner and Hinman reveal how this better psychology relates to and integrates with the outstanding biblical value and virtue of relational-joy-based resilient endurance. They provide practical explanations, examples, illustrations and practices that make such transformation concrete and authentic. Read this game-changing book!"

The Bible never says, “Ignore the devil and he will leave you alone.” We are all born into a world at war. Until we understand the realities and rules of this war, we are condemned to fight blind against an adversary capable of inflicting great damage. Every Christian needs to understand the fundamentals of spiritual warfare. Participation in the battle is not optional. We are all in this war whether we like it or not, so doesn’t it make sense to be prepared? This book provides practical insights about the battle and clear strategies for winning life’s battles and for walking in Christ’s victory. We will look at the reality of spiritual warfare, how we often give permission to the enemy to have a place in our life–and how we can use our authority in Christ to remove that legal ground. We’ll look deeper into demons, the occult, and how to find freedom from bondage. In this edition of the book, you’ll also find prayer guides and exercises to help you experience the freedom that is yours in Christ.
