About the Book
A handsome husband, a dream job, and plenty of money- so why wasn't Juana Mikels happy? In a desperate attempt to find the peace and happiness she craved Mikels left it all behind. In Choosing Him All Over Again: A Story of Romance & Redemption, (Ambassador International; January 2014; $14.99, paperback) Mikels offers an intimate account of her search for Mr. Right, a journey that ended up leading her into the arms of Jesus, and ultimately back home to her husband.
Mikels not only includes a candid recount of her own marriage struggles in Choosing Him All Over Again, but she interviewed more than 40 people, all of whom had been separated or divorced at one time. "It is my prayer that you will be encouraged and able to love your husband and to choose him again," writes Mikels. "It is my delight to share my history with you because my story is a story of God's grace."
Choosing Him All Over Again includes strikingly honest accounts of Mikels' personal experience of separation from her husband and their ultimate reconciliation. Mikels offers wives 11 checkpoints for refreshing any marriage including saying 'I love you' daily, not bringing up past failures and praying for your husband every day. The book provides free resources like prayers Mikels prays for her husband, a note to Christian women married to unbelievers or married to Christian men who are not acting as believers should and access to a FREE downloadable companion Bible study guide.

What Other People are Saying
“God writes the best love stories—and Juana’s is one of the best! When Juana was trying to write her love story, she failed miserably. But when she turned it over to God, He did the impossible.” —SHEILA WRAY GREGOIRE Inspirational Speaker, blogger
“Juana is a lovely and godly woman who speaks from her heart, personally and honestly to her audience. She glorifies God with her honesty and candidness, and draws her listeners in with Truth and Grace from the Spirit who lives in her. I highly recommend her to you!”
—VALERIE ELLIOT SHEPARD Author of Pilipinto’s Happiness, daughter of Jim and Elisabeth Elliot
“Choosing Him is a transparent testimony of the power of God to change lives and marriages. Juana so beautifully weaves her story of brokenness as she unravels the mystery of God’s way in marriage. God used Juana’s search to find herself—to find Him! And now, she is sharing all the wisdom she learned on her journey with us! I believe marriages will be saved and changed for God’s glory with the message of this book.”
—COURTNEY JOSEPH, Author of the book Women Living Well and blogger at WomenLivingWell.org
“A stirring love story beginning with Christ’s pursuit.
—EMILY WICKHAM, Blogger at ProclaimingHimtoWomen.com
“Juana Mikels leads us through an incredible message of hope. There is no marriage that’s beyond the scope of God’s redeeming power. With a blend of wisdom and warmth, Choosing Him All Over Again reminds us that marriage is worth fighting for.”
—DARLENE SCHACHT, Author of Messy Beautiful Love: Hope and Redemption for
Real-Life Marriages
“Juana writes from her heart as she exposes her journey of marriage brokenness and reconciliation, giving readers hope for their future and the motivation to embrace true intimacy with God. This story is captivating because Juana details her thoughts and emotions which led her to walk away from her marriage for a time—thoughts and emotions that many wives encounter daily. Her honesty and transparency is a rare treasure, allowing others the chance to relate and not feel so alone in marital struggles. Juana’s words are full of life-giving encouragement, just the kind of inspiration couples desperately need today.”
—JENNIFER SMITH, Author of The Unveiled Wife and Wife After God
“Juana is real, she is honest, and she constantly points you back to the only One who brings hope, joy, and peace—Jesus Christ. You will leave with a deeper understanding that God’s plan is always best and He brings beauty out of our brokenness.”
—LEANNE BURDA, Writer, Blogger, Speaker, Women’s Ministry
“Dumping her husband for the ‘good life,’ Juana Mikels decided she could create a much better life on her own, so she took off . . . heading the wrong way down a one-way street. Then Juana crashed . . . right into Jesus and His plan for her life.
Finally, after so much ‘me-ism,’ she came face to face with Jesus and His Word. When she gave her life to Him, her parallel path with Him began. She, without realizing it, started what would become an intense love relationship with her Lord and Savior. She kept up her pace with Jesus, and miracles began on the other path. This book is a life changer. Juana’s story is for every woman: single or married!”
—NANCY COBB, Author of The Politically Incorrect Wife and How to Get Your
Husband to Listen to You
“Juana bares her soul as she shares her story of pain and heartache with great transparency. Not knowing where to turn due to her broken marriage, she turned to Jesus Christ, and what she found was not just hope, but redemption, grace, and love. As Juana sought to live a Christ-centered life, the Lord blessed her with a thriving, Christ-centered marriage. Juana’s message will definitely encourage and equip many wives with hurting marriages.”
—JOLENE ENGLE, Owner and author of JoleneEngle.com, Founder of
ChristianWifeUniversity.com, and best-selling author of Wives of the Bible

I am excited to see how the Lord will continue to use Juana and her gifts for His glory.”
