The Four People You Marry

When you said, "I do" you married four very different people. You married the person you think they are, the person they think they are, the person they are at this moment, and the person they are becoming. Problems arise when we fall in love with one or two of the four, and when the rest show up (and they will) you can feel as though you were fooled into something that you didn't sign up for. This is the path that, for many people, ends in divorce. The Four People You Marry will give you priceless tools to learning the art of growing stronger together through the inevitable changes of life. Bill and Traci Vanderbush are nationally recognized leaders who speak in conferences and churches around the world. Their humorous and insightful storytelling style will inspire and encourage you and the insight and wisdom presented will strengthen your love and bring healing to your marriage.

Soul Reformation: Wholeness for the Body

Soul Reformation is a prayer and meditation project inspired by Traci's personal experience as she sought relief from pain that was triggered by the memory of a traumatic car accident. Whether you are suffering from physical or emotional trauma, Traci's hope is that you will find relief and encouragement as many already have through this powerful meditation. 

Freedom From Financial Shame

Are you suffering under the weight of financial shame? Do you feel hopeless as bills go unpaid? Are you working as hard as you can, but seem to be getting nowhere? Traci Vanderbush shares some of her and her husband's personal struggles: the weight of carrying a small business, finding an eviction notice on their door, backing out of their dream home one week prior to closing on it, job loss, and striving to meet the expectations of the American dream. Traci's stories are meant to lift up those who feel the shame of not being able to meet financial obligations, and infuse the reader with faith and hope to believe for the impossible.

Walking With a Shepherd
by Traci Vanderbush 

​

In 2006, Traci decided to write Walking With a Shepherd after receiving encouragement from several pastors' wives who were seeking a "voice" to express what many of them were facing in walking the journey of co-leading a church. The book was written from a raw place of vulnerability and at the very beginning of a revelation of grace.

Traci says, "While I have learned much more in the last few years about walking in greater grace, being led by the Holy Spirit, and not playing the often expected role of "pastor's wife," I have been encouraged to release this book once again, as it seems to strike a chord with those who find themselves in a vulnerable place."
