Our mission
We live in an age of countless and ever-changing opinions and theories about human relationships and how to live fulfilling lives. When we seek guidance, it is hard to know whom to believe. Yet there is a dependable source to which we can go, one proven trustworthy and constant throughout history—the Word of God.
Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night,
so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and
successful (Joshua 1:8).
My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and
training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every
good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it
penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and
attitudes of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).
The Bible covers it all, including marriage, parenting, communication, forgiveness, decision-making, finances, temptation and depression. The One who created us shows us in his Word, the Bible, how to live fulfilling, joyful lives.

Author’s biography
The books and Bible studies on this site were written by biblical marriage and family counselor Doug Britton (Douglas Britton), MFT. Doug, President of LifeTree Institute, has been a Christian since 1969, and has helped thousands of people since entering the counseling field in 1967.
In counseling with individuals and couples, leading workshops and retreats, teaching classes, and co-hosting nearly one thousand radio call-in shows, Doug has taught practical, effective ways to apply the Word of God in all aspects of daily living, and has helped people see that the Bible offers us the foundation for rewarding, meaningful lives.
Doug has worked as supervisor of an intensive treatment unit in a state institution, treatment director of a private facility and since 1980 as a private biblically-based marriage and family therapist (counselor). He has trained hundreds of professionals and paraprofessionals and has spoken at numerous seminars, workshops and retreats.
He has a Master’s Degree in Educational Psychology and has edited and published three professional publications. His wife Susan has been a homemaker, landscape designer, journalist and novelist. She also has taught marriage and parenting workshops, and holds degrees in English and Landscape Architecture.
Doug draws from his own struggles and victories when he writes. He and Susan separated in 1966 and almost divorced, but over time they learned how to apply God’s Word to their marriage, and now enjoy a great relationship.

Doctrinal beliefs / Statement of faith
The core beliefs underlying LifeTree Institute, LifeTree Books, and DougBrittonBooks.com are:There is one God, eternal and existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Bible is the Word of God. It is inspired, authoritative, and infallible—the only infallible source to which we can turn for truth. It inspires us, comforts us, convicts us of sin, and tells us how to live godly lives.
Jesus' atoning death and resurrection provide the only means by which we can be reconciled to God. When we come to faith in Christ, we are born again and experience eternal life with God.
When we place our faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, God's Spirit indwells us and begins the process of transforming us, helping us grow in holiness and preparing us for works of service which God has prepared for us.
