Nicholas and Dr. Roxanne Louh have blended not only their lives in marriage, but what they have learned in their vocations to provide insights and practical suggestions for becoming the person you were designed to be.

Here are the tools you need to build better habits and stronger relationships, starting today!

Drawing deeply from Scripture and the wisdom of the ancient Church, Father (Dr.) Nicholas and Presvytera (Dr.) Roxanne Louh inspire you to grow in relationship with the Lover of your soul, expel guilt, receive peace, nurture life and health in personal relationships, and aspire to spiritual and emotional maturity for the greater benefit of the Kingdom of God. I highly recommend this book!

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book! It is spiritually uplifting, very funny, informative, poignant, touching, candid, thought provoking and challenging. When you read it, you can just feel the time, energy and thought that they put into writing this book. And, boy, did they succeed. This book has an anointing on it. So many GREAT passages in it. For those of you who are looking to be spiritually renewed (and who isn’t?), don’t look any further. This book does exactly what it says: It will renew your spirit and bring you closer to God. Amen.

Father Nicholas and Dr. Roxanne have summarized the key principles for living a healthier life spiritually, emotionally, physically, and mentally in this insightful book. These are life lessons grounded in both wisdom and experience.

Spiritual ‘power couple’ Fr. Nicholas and Dr. Roxanne Louh, a parish priest and psychologist, have combined their considerable personal and professional experience to create a book which naturally and seamlessly integrates psychology, physiology and faith. The Louhs address the challenge of how to envision and create a life of purpose and satisfaction which soars above and beyond what we might imagine possible. Practical guidelines, proven methods and various techniques provide a flight plan to conquer our ruts, inaction, excuses and bad habits. Employing solid scientific information, relatable examples from daily life, biblical insights and spiritual inspiration, the Louhs encourage us to climb into the pilot's seat of our own lives, to grasp the controls, to wing upwards and to soar to the heights of the God-given potentiality within each of us.

This exceptionally readable book refashions the wisdom of the Orthodox spiritual tradition for those resident in the noisy and often distracting world of day-to-day living.  An enjoyable and practical guide for personal and spiritual growth, Renewing You, needs to be read with intention or it will become yet another book of self-improvement collecting dust on our shelves.
