What if your marriage was a movie… what story would it tell?

Would it be a romance filled with laughter, connection, and unforgettable moments? A drama weighed down by conflict and miscommunication? A comedy of unexpected plot twists and learning curves? Or perhaps a story still searching for its direction?

Lights. Camera. Marriage. is a practical and engaging workbook designed to help couples strengthen communication, deepen intimacy, resolve conflict, and build a relationship worth watching.

Using the powerful analogy of filmmaking, Raliegh and Rita Jones take couples behind the scenes of marriage to examine:

• The “directors” influencing your relationship

• The roles and expectations each spouse brings into the story

• Communication breakdowns and emotional disconnects

• Financial pressure, conflict, romance, and forgiveness

• The plot twists every marriage eventually faces

• How to create a lasting love story rooted in faith and intentionality

This interactive workbook includes:

• Real-life conversation starters

• Communication exercises

• Role play activities

• Reflection questions

• Biblical principles with practical application

• Tools for couples, small groups, and marriage ministries

Perfect for:

• Married couples

• Engaged couples

• Marriage small groups

• Church workshops

• Premarital counseling

• Couples retreats

Whether your relationship feels like a romantic classic, an action-packed adventure, or a film in need of a rewrite, this workbook will help you reconnect, refocus, and rediscover the purpose behind your partnership.

Because every marriage tells a story.
The question is: what will yours say?

Every year, communities gather. Prayers are offered. Speeches are made. Tears are shed.

And then the same things keep happening.

This workbook was born in the frustration of those meetings. Written by a pastor, community leader, and East St. Louis native who knows the street code from the inside, Beef, Bullies, and Bullets is not another lecture from someone who doesn't know your world. It is a practical, honest, research-backed tool for the teen who is trying to navigate real danger, real pressure, and a real future, all at the same time.

Across 12 chapters, teens will learn:

• How conflicts start and how to stop them before they become irreversible

• Why the armor you wear to survive the block can trap you in it

• The neuroscience behind the three-second decision that changes everything

• How bullying actually works, including the forms that leave no bruises

• How violence escalates from a group chat to a shooting, step by step

• How to get out of dangerous situations alive

• How to process trauma and grief without letting it destroy your future

• How regular people have reduced violence in their neighborhoods by 50 to 70 percent

Every chapter includes real documented stories, guided activities, role-play scenarios, an Impossible Choice wildcard that forces genuine ethical thinking, and a Parent Talk section designed to open conversations at home that might otherwise never happen.

Used in schools, churches, youth programs, juvenile diversion, and community organizations.

This workbook aligns with Social-Emotional Learning standards and is supported by citations from peer-reviewed research including the University of Chicago Crime Lab's Becoming a Man study, Cure Violence program data, Advance Peace outcomes, and Safe Streets Baltimore documentation.

Your neighborhood doesn't have to stay the way it is. But it starts with you.
