Author Lindsay Enita’s book “Lessons Learned from a Side Chick” is a powerful memoir that explores the lessons learned by Lindsay from being on both sides of an affair

Lindsay Enita, a Soul Care coach, speaker, and podcaster, has completed her new book “Lessons Learned from a Side Chick”: a powerful and fascinating true tale centered around the author’s failed marriage, struggle back to wholeness, and the life lessons gleaned from the entire experience.

“This is me not just sharing my pain but also showing you my healing and all that is possible with God. I share my faults and flaws to show how God uses them. I shared my mandate with you because I did not know who I was, and it affected the way I loved and the way I showed up in the world. You, too, have a mandate—a charge given by God of who you be (as my mentor, Dr. Eboni L. Truss, says). Not knowing who you are may be hindering your life and relationships as well,” writes Enita. “I’m going to take you on a journey from hurt to healing so you’ll know if it was possible for me, it is possible for you too.

“While I would never wish the pain of having to endure an affair and eventual divorce on anyone, I am so grateful for the journey because it taught me unique lessons both natural and spiritual. These lessons stretched me and grew my capacity to love God, love myself, and love others…including my future husband. (Yes, these lessons opened up my heart to love again!)”

Published by Page Publishing, Lindsay Enita’s poignant tale is a powerful tool that shares valuable lessons for readers seeking to protect their hearts and marriages. Using her past hurtful experiences in a positive light, Lindsay shares the ways in following God and placing him first in one’s life and relationships can only help them grow stronger.

Readers who wish to experience this enlightening work can purchase “Lessons Learned from a Side Chick” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

From Heartache to Healing” is a powerful story of growth, healing, and the resiliency of love


News Image

“Hope After Hurt: From Heartache to Healing”: an emotionally charged and honest look at the challenges that can affect the marital bond. “Hope After Hurt: From Heartache to Healing” is the creation of published authors Roxanne & Rob Maroney.

“For the past fifteen years, Rob and Roxanne Maroney have been helping couples rebuild relationships threatened by lack of intimacy, lost connection, damaged love styles, and broken trust. As a trained counselor and life coach, Roxanne works with women and couples to help heal and repair broken relationships. Rob spent twenty-five years in the corporate world with major international companies and now works with a nonprofit counseling and teaching ministry. Rob works with men recovering from sexual integrity issues.

“They both have educational backgrounds in psychology, biblical counseling, and Christian life coaching. They are certified in Gottman Therapist Training and are SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) facilitators.

“Rob and Roxanne live in Orange County, California, and have been married for over four decades. They have three grown children and thirteen grandchildren. From their own experience of repair and recovery, Rob and Roxanne share openly and candidly what they learned about building a marriage to last.

The Maroneys share, “Is your marriage a mess? Are you disconnected, struggling, or stuck even after counseling? Or are things between you and your mate too tidy or perfect but you’re wondering what happened to the adventure, the passion, and those feelings of your first dates?

“If distance, distrust, and despair define your marriage and you just hurt too much to see any hope, read Hope after Hurt before you do anything else.

“Roxanne and Rob Maroney have seen it all after leading intensive four-day marriage workshops every month for nearly ten years, teaching, coaching, and counseling couples looking for hope before giving up on their marriages.

“But that’s only a small part of their story. In Hope after Hurt, Roxanne and Rob reveal not only how their marriage was rescued from becoming another casualty in the rising divorce rate but how they were set on the path to create something entirely new. They offer a transparent telling of how their early histories unknowingly haunted their marriage and their choices and how they dramatically changed their destructive path.

“They open up about secrecy, lies, broken trust, loss of connection, and damaged intimacy. This is not just a story of two flawed people and their need for repair but also an honest account of more than forty years of healing using practical tools for greater connection and intimacy in marriage. Hope after Hurt offers hurting couples real-life examples and a roadmap to healthier relationships.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Roxanne & Rob Maroney’s new book will resonate with many as the Maroneys share a bold and honest discussion of their personal struggles and ultimate healing.

With an encouraging and sincere message, readers will find helpful guidance on how to work together to overcome challenges that could, if ignored, lead to divorce.

Consumers can purchase “Hope After Hurt: From Heartache to Healing” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Even Though You Think There Is No Hope For Your Marriage, Jesus Says There Is Always Hope


News Image

I couldn’t keep quiet but to share the greatness of God’s mercy and love He bestows upon us in hopes that others whose marriages are suffering may find hope and restoration in their lives and marriages, too.

Author Mandy Renteria encourages couples that their marriages are worth fighting for in The Devil Messed With the Wrong Girl ($22.49, paperback, 9781662859359; $9.99, e-book, 9781662859366).

Renteria knows what it’s like. Her husband was caught in addiction; she was self-righteous and bitter. It seemed like the only two options were to get divorced or to settle as civil roommates, but Jesus stepped in and offered a third choice. He gave them true victory and restoration that they never thought possible.

“I couldn’t keep quiet but to share the greatness of God’s mercy and love He bestows upon us in hopes that others whose marriages are suffering may find hope and restoration in their lives and marriages, too. The devil tried to destroy my marriage, so I’m taking the pain I experienced and sharing it with the world to help save marriages,” said Renteria.

Mandy Renteria is a Christian author, speaker and licensed professional counselor certified in trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy. She has personally experienced trauma in her life and in her own marriage. She owns and operates her private practice, Trinity Counseling, serving the Low Country since 2014. She lives with her husband José and three children in her hometown of Bluffton, South Carolina.

We Help You Legal Paso Robles helps answer ‘I’m divorced, why do I need a living trust?’


Paso Robles living trust

Regardless of how amenable both parties were to the divorce, too many things can go wrong without setting up your own revocable trust.

Setting up a revocable living trust after a divorce might seem like “one more thing to do” on the long list of things that need attention but it can be a very important. A revocable living trust makes sure that family, friends and even charitable organizations benefit according to your wishes. We Help You Legal has prepared some important considerations for reviewing or creating a living trust after a divorce.

If both spouses were joint trustees for the family trust during the marriage there’s a chance that trust held both community property and separate property. Community property includes assets that were jointly acquired or earned during the marriage. Separate property is assets that are the personal assets belonging only to one spouse, this includes real property that may have been acquired before the marriage, gifts and inheritances.

When a couple gets a divorce in California community property is typically equally divided between spouses. Each spouse keeps “ownership” of their separate property. Regardless of how amenable both parties were to the divorce and arrangements, or even how much the divorced partners may still trust one another, too many things can go wrong without setting up your own revocable trust.

We Help You Legal, providing assistance with living trusts from the Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo offices can help with the documents for a new trust. Revoking personal interest in the trust shared with an ex-spouse and setting up an entirely new revocable trust makes sure:


  • All of the assets held in the new trust are “separate property,” passed per your wishes.
  • The former spouse no longer has an interest in those assets.
  • In the event either former spouse remarries, a new spouse has no community property claim on those assets.

A new revocable trust provides the same benefits and assurances as the previous, joint trust:

  • Avoid the costs and delays of probate court.
  • Reduce some estate taxes.
  • Can be revoked or changed at any time during your lifetime.
  • Protects loved ones, including minor children and dependent adults.
  • Ensure assets are distributed according to your wishes.

In addition, setting up a new trust means the documents such as powers of attorney related to medical care and end-of-life wishes and financial power of attorney need to be reviewed and changed accordingly

We Help You Legal is a legal document assisting service, providing assistance with legal documents from offices in San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles for living trusts, divorce, custody matters, healthcare directive and power of attorney, landlord and tenant issues, name changes and more.

The Journey from ‘I Do’ to ‘Well Done!’” is a thoughtful and informative discussion of marriage


News Image

“Transformation: The Journey from ‘I Do’ to ‘Well Done!’”: a heartfelt look into the highs and lows of marriage. “Transformation: The Journey from ‘I Do’ to ‘Well Done!’” is the creation of published author Mishay Lavine, a certified biblical counselor and widow who seeks to help encourage strong marriages.

Lavine shares, “are you ready for marriage? Preparation for a wife’s big day includes the dresses, flowers, venues, invitations, cake, and of course, the rings. After the big day comes preparation for a lifetime of transformations; and unfortunately, the process can really take one by surprise. After the ceremony is concluded, the guests have shared gifts and returned to their individual lives and spaces, now what? There is help for every stage of the marriage process of becoming one flesh like the Holy Bible teaches. As each person relinquishes singleness to unite as one, for both husbands and wives, transformations must occur. As these adjustments commence, there is a sure model by which every wife can mold her service to her husband from ‘I Do’-2-‘Well Done!’

“The responsibilities of being married and a parent all within a two-day process required responses and adjustments that the author never considered necessary. Where does one turn for the right answers? Contained here are Biblical answers to questions, challenges, and false expectations that were experienced early in the author’s marriage. Difference of opinions and unrealistic expectations resulted in a plethora of disputes between the happy couple; what appeared to work for Hollywood marriages and on television exacerbated the chaos between two strong-willed individuals, predominantly where the wife was determined to have things her way.

“There is hope! With faith, prayer, humility, and practice, transformations for this union resulted in a seamless ‘happily-ever-after’ bond until, at the end of life’s journey, honoring their vow to GOD, the two did part. Every marriage will experience transitions from the day ‘I Do’ is promised until death separates the two; however, healthy transformations are the outcomes when the applied model is Biblical.

“There is hope and a model for the ‘happily ever after’ couples long to experience. Mrs. Lavine’s transparency is evidence that it is possible. Shine On…from ‘I Do’-2-‘Well Done!’”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Mishay Lavine’s new book is a helpful resource for those looking to explore ways to support their spouse.

Lavine offers personal reflection and relevant scripture in hopes of empowering others to put in the necessary work to achieve successful, long-lasting marriages.

Consumers can purchase “Transformation: The Journey from ‘I Do’ to ‘Well Done!’” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

This pitching model unique to Orca has proven to be highly effective at delivering value with small business budgets in mind.

For two decades the firm has been a champion of inventors and entrepreneurs and developed ways to deliver public relations coverage at a price point affordable for startups. Generally all Orca clients benefit from the “Power of the Pod” – the fusion of skills, ideas and contacts among all of the agency’s publicists and strategists – however, this new service option is solely intended to be a co-op style campaign focused on achieving maximum holiday gift guide placement for participants through small, themed group pitches and sharing the time and expertise of a team of publicists. Editors, influencers and segment producers are receptive to these themed pitches promoting multiple products at once because it offers several selections that might be of interest to their audience, and it provides them a complete story idea that’s fast and easy to publish online or share on social media.

“Our clients have been benefiting from this style of group pitching since day one,” said Cynthia Guiang, Orca Communications CMO. “In fact, it was central to the original business model from the beginning. Fast forward 20 years later, we realized that in order to continue offering campaigns that our most budget-conscious clients can afford, we needed to look to our past for inspiration. We’ve assembled a special Pod Pitching team that will ensure that our Pod Tier clients are included in all relevant group pitches and have an abundance of media outreach opportunities.”

Kenn and Wendy Ferrell’s newly released “Hand in Hand” is an exciting resource for married couples seeking to strengthen their marital connection


News Image

“Hand in Hand”: an encouraging message regarding the promise that marriage holds. “Hand in Hand” is the creation of published authors Kenn and Wendy Ferrell.

The Ferrells share, “The Bible asks the question, ‘Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?’ (Amos 3:3 NLT). The answer is obvious to everyone. Hand in Hand was written to help every couple discuss the direction of their marriage while holding hands with no intention of letting go. Wedding vows are every couple’s proof that they have agreed to walk side by side. But what is the next direction in your journey? The answer isn’t as obvious as Amos’s thought. The explanation is as unique as your relationship, but effective communication smoothens the potholes in the road. Smiles, laughter, tears, and intimacy all await you on this journey. Embrace each change of direction or twist in the trail as long as you are walking hand in hand.

“Hand in Hand is a once-a-week devotion encompassing a full year. Each one is designed to be read together. Each devotion is composed of four segments that were created to enhance intimate conversations. The first segment articulates colorful analogies that reveal life application. The second segment is called ‘Pillow Talk.’ Four questions are concealed here and are intended to activate heart-to-heart conversations. ‘Prayer Focus’ will follow, intertwining the devotion, your marriage, and His Word, which activates spiritual growth. The last segment is called ‘Walking It Out.’ Each week you will have an opportunity to express your love through action. This is designed to incorporate a fun or romantic expression of the collaborated understanding that you have received from that week’s corresponding devotion. So lace up your brand-new hiking boots, take each other’s hand, and enjoy the adventure of your lifelong journey together!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Kenn and Wendy Ferrell’s new book will inspire and encourage as readers work through each devotion together.

The Ferrells share in hopes of helping others to establish committed, successful marriages that will last a lifetime.

Consumers can purchase “Hand in Hand” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Learn the Real Secrets of Living a Joy-Filled Marriage From Someone Who Learned the Hard Way


News Image

Failure. My failed marriages and the failed marriages I see all around me.

Author Frederick Heddinger shares valuable lessons learned about the critical role of Scripture in marriage in The Hinge of Love: What God Taught Me About Marriage ($17.99, paperback, 9781662852183; $7.99, e-book, 9781662852190).

According to Heddinger, there is not a divorce problem in today’s society but instead a problem of couples marrying for the wrong reasons and not understanding the true meaning of love. He explains how married couples make up their own rules about marriage and ignore the clear rules laid down by the designer of marriage, as specified in the Scriptures. He admits that his failure of not one but two marriages, were a result of not knowing how marriage was supposed to work. Being blessed with a third time at marriage, Heddinger turned to Scripture and happily, he and his third wife have been married for twenty-seven years and counting. This book shares what the author has learned about love and marriage from the Bible. It’s the remarkable story of turning marriage failure into marital joy by doing marriage God’s way.

When asked what inspired him to write this book, the author said, “Failure. My failed marriages and the failed marriages I see all around me.”

Frederick Heddinger was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was raised as an only child in a culturally Christian extended family. He currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife, Janet. At the age of fifty-one, Jesus of Nazareth came into Heddinger’s life, freeing him from the chains of sin and the fear of death. He is now proud to share what he has learned along the narrow path from Jesus. For more than fifteen years, Heddinger has led a weekly men’s Bible study. He is also a devoted Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
