Bryan interviews Pete about his new book, which is now available on Amazon. LISTEN NOW (www.influencers.org/podcasts)Hi Guys. We are announcing Pete’s book about he and Suzan’s marriage relationship that’s just being published this week. Many of you were so blessed by the CaringBridge posts when he and Suzan were going through her illness, that you told Pete that they should be in a book. Pete took this as from the Lord and started writing.So I am happy to share with you that he has completed the book entitled The Tug of Heaven. He tells the story of his and Suzan’s lifelong love affair, the amazing things God did and taught them in their 50-year relationship, and Suzan’s eventual passing into eternity. Many of his CaringBridge posts are included in the book.“Pete McKenzie’s deep affection for the love of his life, Suzan, is both touching and inspiring. More than a tribute to Suzan, The Tug of Heaven contains life lessons that we can all benefit from.”–Phil Van Horn, co-author of Cracking the Man CodeORDER NOW (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0998168793?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860)
