Just three seconds. The time it takes to make a decision. That’s all that lies between settling for “Whatever” . . . or insisting on “Whatever it takes.”

3 Seconds shows how to unleash the inner resources that can move you to a whole new level of success. It comes down to six predictable impulses that most of us automatically accept without a second thought. You can replace them with new impulses that lead toward impact and significance.

For instance, it takes Three Seconds to . . .

• Disown Your Helplessness – The First Impulse: “There’s nothing I can do about it.” The Second Impulse: “I can’t do everything, but I can do something.”
• Quit Stewing and Start Doing – The First Impulse: “Someday I’m going to do that.” The Second Impulse: “I’m diving in . . . starting today.”
• Fuel Your Passion – The First Impulse: “I’ll do what happens to come my way.” The Second Impulse: “I’ll do what I’m designed to do.”

Inhale . . . exhale . . . the difference of your lifetime can begin in the space of a single breath. The decision is yours. Start today.

The combustive force of a man’s sexual drive can incinerate his wedding vows and family commitments–or it can ignite a flame of passion within his marriage that brings mind-blowing pleasure to both partners. In this practical guidebook filled with straight talk about the issues that concern men, psychologist Dr. Les Parrott reveals the truth about six areas that can undermine a man’s confidence, damage his marriage, and leave him struggling unnecessarily with temptation.

Parrott counters these false beliefs and uncovers the answers to:

• how much sex women want
• whether married sex can be truly satisfying and steamy
• the biological effects of pornography
• what it really takes to please a woman
• whether masturbation is harmful or helpful
• the controlling force behind a man’s sexual drive

Readers will learn how to change both their beliefs and their behavior, paving the way for a whole new dimension of sexual pleasure.

Discover the secret to happy relationships.

Relationships are rife with disappointment–but they are also the primary source of personal happiness. So it is no surprise that the number one question Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott hear over and over is, What’s the single most important thing you can do for your relationships?

After over twenty-five years of researching, writing, and speaking on this subject, in Healthy Me, Healthy Us the Parrotts have whittled down their answer to the truth contained in this single sentence: if you try to build intimacy with another person before you have gotten whole on your own, all your relationships become an attempt to complete yourself.

Relationship skills, tips, and tactics? Sure. They have their place. But meaningful relationships–the kind we all long for–grow from something deeper, something stronger, something that has more to do with being than doing.

Includes an audiobook-exclusive conversation between the authors.

What can the Bible teach us about unconditional, everlasting, life-changing love? Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Les Parrott as he shows us that we all deserve Love Like That.

In this authentic, practical book, Dr. Parrott provides a simple plan to improve all of your relationships–with spouses, family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers. Dr. Parrott takes proven findings from psychology and sociology and blends them with biblical teaching to reveal five transformative ways of relating to people demonstrated by Jesus himself.

In Love Like That, Dr. Parrott gives you the tools you need to love like Jesus, because when you do:

• you become less detached and more mindful
• you become less exclusive and more approachable
• you become less judgmental and more grace-full
• you become less fearful and more bold
• you become less self-absorbed and more self-giving

Dr. Parrott teaches us that loving like Jesus can be a daily reality for anyone who chooses it. Why? Because this love isn’t elusive. It isn’t pie-in-the-sky. It isn’t out of reach or relegated to untouchable saints. It’s real. Jesus gives us practical examples of how to love in extraordinary ways. And you’re likely closer to it than you know.

Praise for Love Like That:

“From the first vulnerable sentence, this heart-felt message from Dr. Parrott will compel you to not only be a better person, it will show you exactly how you can do just that.”

–Dave Ramsey, #1 bestselling author and radio host

“Refreshingly honest and incredibly practical. This book is for everyone who wants to love like Jesus but never thought they could. I’ve personally benefited from this helpful book, and you will too.”

–Lysa TerKeurst, president of Proverbs 31 Ministries and bestselling author of Forgiving What You Can’t Forget

“With an incredible blend of contemporary social science and a deep understanding of Scripture, Les Parrott’s writing will help you see beyond what you may be tempted to settle for. And he’ll show you the way, step-by-step, to realizing the kinds of relationships we all long for.”

–Lee Strobel, New York Times bestselling author of The Case for Christ
