Pioneer Store hosting Sherman and Tammy Aten book signing

PLAINVIEW — Authors Sherman and Tammy Aten will be at Wayland Baptist University’s Pioneer Store from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 24, to sign their new book, Touching Base: 52 Devotions to Connect with Your Spouse.

“Tammy and I are excited to share our first couple’s devotional book with our West Texas friends and family at our alma mater, WBU, this coming Wednesday,” said Sherman Aten, who also serves on Wayland’s Board of Trustees. “This will be the first official bookstore event. We are honored and look forward to it.”

Released in November 2023 by Harvest Creek Publishing and Design, Touching Base: 52 Devotions to Connect with Your Spouse grew out of the Aten’s work with the couples comprising the Board of Directors for Aten Ministries.

“In this one-of-a-kind marriage devotional, we share some of our most intimate, vulnerable stories,” Sherman Aten said. “The book is to be used weekly for an entire year, with 52 easy-reading chapters. No matter what stage of life you're going through, you'll quickly see that you are not alone, because we have all been there and done that. We’ve learned the importance of touching base consistently in our marriage relationship.”

Base in Granbury, the Atens have been serving in full-time ministry since 1990. Many know them as worship leaders, evangelists, or Three2One Marriage Conference hosts. The couple traveled 20 years as a family with their son and daughter ministering in worship through revivals and concerts. Today, they spend an average of 30 weeks per year ministering as a couple in the U.S, as well as internationally in churches based in Canada, Mexico, Bolivia, Wales, Romania, Russia, Venezuela, South Africa, Philippines, Ukraine, Portugal, Spain, Pakistan, and Turkey.

The couple says that God has developed in them a hunger for authentic worship as well as a passion for Godly marriages and family through their Three2One marriage ministry.

The book-signing event is open to the public and Touching Base: 52 Devotions to Connect with Your Spouse will be available in the Pioneer Store on that day. The Pioneer Store is the former Wayland Bookstore and is located on the first floor of McClung Student Center on Wayland’s Plainview campus.
