Grazing the Fields of Plenty
Living Well in a Culture of More
Grazing the Fields of Plenty is a non-fiction book about living in the American culture of “a land of overabundance”. We live in an age of supersizing. Limitless availability of food, drink, screen technologies, news, healthcare, noise, pills and consumer goods has made us obese, unhealthy, strapped for money and unhappy stressed-out people. Just looking at all the pitfalls of living in this culture of more can easily make us depressed. However, there are solutions to these problems which Dr. Marianne de Deugd offers with support of extensive research, compelling stories, professional and personal insight from her 30 years of professional counseling expertise. We have to live in this culture, but we don’t have to get sucked into its unhealthy practices.

Fifty-two Mondays
Dealing with the rough spots in your marriage... God's Way
The "Monday" of everyday life inevitably comes after a restful Sunday... fifty-two times a year. Just as the idyllic moves into the mundane, so a couple quickly moves from the honeymoon to the "work" of a marital relationship. Small or large, every marriage has rough spots.
​
Fifty-Two Mondays acknowledges that the "everyday" or married life can begin to divide what God has put together. In this age of "irreconcilable differences" and "no-fault" divorce, couples are trading marriage for separation at a staggering rate. Regrettably, Christian couples are no different.
​
Fortunately, God is still the Author of hope. You can enjoy the kind of marriage God intended with your mate, even on the "Mondays," because God has not left us in the dark. Instead, He provided the perfect guide to marital success in the Bible. Fifty-Two Mondays provides a fresh understanding of the biblical principles and practical application needed to fully enjoy life as "one."
