Our Featured Book

Wholeness in Every Season

Life is never static. The winds of change visit every soul, sometimes with gentle breezes, sometimes with unrelenting storms. Yet through it all, God remains the same. The Bible reminds us, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV). Seasons shift, relationships evolve, and circumstances stretch us beyond comfort— but God’s faithfulness never falters. In this book, we will walk through the seasons of singleness, marriage, divorce, remarriage and renewal. Each represents not only a chapter of life but also a spiritual classroom where God teaches trust, resilience, and grace. As a counselor, pastor, and woman who has lived through each of these transitions, I’ve learned that wholeness is possible no matter the weather of our souls. The message is simple yet profound: Wholeness is not found in a specific season—it is found in the Savior who governs them all. When you realize that His presence remains through every change, fear gives way to faith, and despair yields to divine peace. Whether you are basking in the sunlight of fulfillment or standing in the cold of uncertainty, may you come to know this unchanging truth: God is working for your good in every season of your life.

Wholeness in Every Season

Anchor 1

Introduction: When the Seasons Change but God Remains Constant

Life is never static. The winds of change visit every soul, sometimes with gentle breezes, sometimes with unrelenting storms. Yet through it all, God remains the same. The Bible reminds us, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV). Seasons shift, relationships evolve, and circumstances stretch us beyond comfort— but God’s faithfulness never falters. In this book, we will walk through the seasons of singleness, marriage, divorce, remarriage and renewal. Each represents not only a chapter of life but also a.....................................

Chapter 2: Rooted Before Rising

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.” — Jeremiah 17:7–8 (NKJV) Exegetical Note: In this text, Jeremiah contrasts the life of those who trust in man versus those who trust in God. The Hebrew term for “planted” (shāthal) means “to transplant” or “to position with purpose.” It implies that God Himself is the Gardener

Chapter 1: The Gift of Becoming

Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” — Philippians 1:6 (NKJV) Exegetical Note: Paul’s letter to the Philippians was written during imprisonment, yet it radiates joy. The phrase “begun a good work” (Greek: enarchomai) means “to initiate with purpose and continue with commitment.” Paul reminds the believers that God’s work in them was not impulsive—it was intentional. Historical Context: The church at Philippi was the first European congregation Paul founded (Acts 16). It began with unlikely converts—a businesswoman named Lydia, a freed slave girl, and a jailer—each representing God’s inclusive grace. Pastoral Insight: Becoming is not about doing more; it’s about trusting that the God who started your story will finish it beautifully. You are a work in progress—and that’s holy ground.

Chapter 3: When Love Takes Root

“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.” — 1 Corinthians 13:4–8 (NKJV) Exegetical Note: Paul’s description of love in this passage uses the Greek word agápē — a self-giving, covenantal love rooted in divine character rather than emotion. The phrase “suffers long” (makrothumeō) literally means “to remain steadfast under provocation.” It’s love with endurance — a love that stretches without snapping.

Chapter 4: Weathering the Heat

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.” — Isaiah 43:2 (NKJV) Exegetical Note: The prophet Isaiah delivers this divine promise to Israel during their exile — a time of collective grief and identity crisis. The Hebrew verb ʿābar (“pass through”) implies continuity rather than avoidance. God does not promise to keep us from fiery trials but to carry us through them. The phrase “you shall not be burned” (loʾ tiḇʿār) is both literal and symbolic — expressing divine protection that transcends circumstance. In Scripture, fire often represents testing (ṣārāp, “to refine, to purify”). Thus, the text assures that God’s presence in adversity does not prevent the flame but transforms its purpose.

Memorable Marriage Moments offers a Bible-Based Approach to Marital Satisfaction and Stability

Need help preparing for marriage? As an Ordained Minister, Doctor of Education specializing in Marriage and Family Counseling, a Certified Biblical Counselor, and facilitator for two of the most renowned premarital programs in the nation (SYMBIS and PREPARE/ENRICH), Dr. Salley has inspired and guided couples to know, and grow together for decades.

The principles that guide this work are also explored in Dr. Salley's book, Wholeness in Every Season, a pastoral and counseling resource written to support individuals and couples through singleness, marriage, divorce, remarriage, and renewal. The book reflects the same faith-centered approach used in counseling and ministry settings.

The absence of meaningful communication is often the reason that marriages experience difficulty. Learning to communicate effectively requires sharing feelings, understanding, and listening to one another. The caring, and creative approach that MEMORABLE MARRIAGE MOMENTS provides will offer a beautiful platform from which to develop positive communication skills and other marriage mantras that lead to a loving, lasting marriage.
