A MESSAGE FROM OUR READERS
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ...
“As a pastor, I care about how men and women view themselves and how they relate to one another in marriage, in the workplace, and in friendships. God created us to serve a purpose as individuals and in each other’s lives. The principles in Keys of Truth are straight from God’s Word and are crucial for teaching us how to connect and relate to one another the way He designed us. They will also help us live with and honor our spouses in a godly way. ”

“Keys of Truth is a phenomenal depiction of the distinct gender differences that allow us to function in our God-given roles. Cristie Penn gets straight to the heart of the matter when it comes to relationships and makes understanding them very simple, yet allows for significant introspection and reflection. These gender-specific communication concepts are essential for every person to be successful in any type of relationship. Keys of Truth is such a delight to read and makes applying these deep concepts simple and understandable. I love that Cristie’s heart is to see people walking freely in their true identity and as the best version of themselves. I will use this book with clients and in teaching students how to effectively counsel those they encounter, as well as in my own relationships. This is an excellent resource!”

Her book attends to building successful relationships, and she has drawn a picture of how men and women can ‘dance,’ work, love, protect, collaborate and thrive together. In bringing her insight and understanding, she encourages the body of Christ in the practical keys of living in dignity, wisdom, and grace while partnering with one another.”

“As a product of an unsuccessful marriage and two relationships, Keys of Truth has given me stable, Christian-based guidance on how to understand a man. It has also shown me the art of maneuvering around my insecurities with men. This book has mesmerized me. I’ve read it over and over and each time a new enlightenment is revealed. I cannot put it down and want to keep it near me for quick reference. It’s a must read for every woman looking to have a successful and loving relationship, a manual for every marriage! Cristie was God inspired to reach women of all ages and backgrounds with words of encouragement for a better life. It has certainly moved and touched my soul, and I look forward to the day God gives me another opportunity to use what I’ve learned.”

“Passionate, determined, beautiful, humble, and full of compassion is how I would describe Cristie. I am not surprised about her desire to obey God’s calling to write Keys of Truth. This book offers powerful insight to people who are married, single, and engaged and those who are seeking a relationship according to God’s original design. This is an opportunity to rediscover and reposition your heart to unveil and reveal redemptive and practical truths about yourself and the majesty of God’s love to restore and heal relationships.”
Speaker and Author of Silent Cry
“Today we face a crisis regarding the definition of marriage. Many have become confused and surrendered their dreams of one man and one woman for life to the lies and schemes of an enemy who wants to destroy biblical marriage. Now more than ever, we need strong mentors and clear voices that can communicate God’s plan and purpose for healthy marriages. In Keys of Truth: Unlocking God’s Design for the Sexes, Cristie Penn takes the discussion of gender to a new level. She serves as the master mentor, transparently sharing from her own life stories, offering keys to greater understanding of our identity in Christ and teaching us how to grow in our value and respect for the opposite sex. I highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to communicate more effectively, love more deeply, and build a lifelong love affair with his or her spouse.”
