Terrence and Gwendolyn Johnson proudly announce the official release of their inspirational memoir, I Found My Rib: A Testimony of Marriage, Love and Oneness. This 114-page book is now available through major online book retailers and offers a profound look into their 30-year journey of faith, commitment, and divine partnership. At its heart, this is a story about two people who found not only each other but also a deeper understanding of God’s purpose for their union. Through trials, including a life-altering kidney transplant and the emotional toll of dialysis, their love story shines as a testimony of resilience, hope, and unwavering spiritual connection.

Structured with intentionality and heart, I Found My Rib unfolds through alternating perspectives—“His” and “Her”—allowing readers to step into the unique viewpoints of both Terrence and Gwendolyn. Each chapter concludes with “The Two Become One,” a joint reflection symbolizing their shared growth and spiritual alignment. This creative narrative design captures the beauty and challenge of merging two lives into one. It highlights how communication, patience, and grace are vital in every marriage, especially when faced with life’s unexpected trials. Their storytelling is both candid and compassionate, inviting readers into their personal world with honesty and warmth.

More than a memoir, I Found My Rib is a guidebook for couples seeking a Christ-centered relationship. Rooted in the Biblical principle of two becoming one flesh, the book offers real-world examples of how love and faith can anchor a marriage through seasons of struggle. Terrence and Gwendolyn candidly discuss moments of pain, healing, and renewed purpose—showing readers that with God at the center, no challenge is insurmountable. From dealing with serious health issues to learning how to serve each other better, the Johnsons offer hope and direction for couples at every stage of their relationship.

The Johnsons’ story is a powerful reminder that marriage is a journey, not a destination. Throughout the book, readers will find encouragement, biblical insights, and practical takeaways that can strengthen their own relationships. Themes such as servant leadership, forgiveness, spiritual alignment, and mutual respect are woven throughout the chapters. By sharing not only the highlights but also the hardships of their life together, the authors encourage readers to press on in love, no matter what challenges arise.
