A year or so ago I connected with Justin Davis, an Associate Pastor under Pete Wilson at Cross Point Church in Nashville. We had a few things in common.<\/p>\n

Justin was a senior minister at a mid-western church when he had an affair with a fellow staff member who was also a friend of his wife, Trisha. It was a recipe for disaster.<\/p>\n

Although the affair was not public at the time, Justin was so disgusted with himself that after telling his wife he went and packed up his office, vowing never again to return to the ministry. After several months of separation, prayer and counseling, Justin and Trisha were able to reconcile and begin rebuilding their life. No doubt it was a huge and painful process. But they not only survived, but they were blessed beyond their wildest dreams.<\/p>\n

Beyond Ordinary<\/em> is the title of their forthcoming book and will hit stores and websites in a few months. In the meantime they are sharing the first chapter of their book in hopes it will generate discussion and book sales which is critical in expanding their ministry.<\/p>\n

Like me, I believe you’ll be looking forward to reading the rest of their book. Here is what Justin and Trisha ask in the meantime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our book is being pre-sold for roughly $11 at both Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble. You can help us by pre-ordering the book. This is important because pre-sales drive publicity.
