Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Strengths Based Marriage
Jimmy Evans & Allan Kelsey · 2016
🎙 Narrated by Steven Grimsley and Jason Carson
58/100
👎 Skip It
Jimmy Evans brings real ministry credibility and personal stories to this strengths-based approach, but readers push back on the fact that the CliftonStrengths assessment it's built around isn't included and costs extra for both spouses. It's a reasonable pick if you're willing to buy the add-on, and the dual narration by Grimsley and Carson is steady, standard nonfiction delivery.
