Interview– Mike and Nicole Yorkey: How Sweet It Is

Written By Ellen Bennett
 

Mike and Nicole are a couple you cannot help but love. Married for over 40 sweet years, they are kind-hearted, love hospitality, and are devoted to living their lives to serve Jesus. Mike has written or co-authored over 110 intriguing books and was the Editor of Focus on the Family's magazines for many years. Nicole grew up in Switzerland, was an impressive ski racer and instructor, and has a “sweet” popular business called Nicole's Swiss Bliss, especially known for its delicious granola and rich chocolates. You'll enjoy hearing how this EXTRAordinary couple met each other, came to know Jesus, and how He has impacted their lives in EXTRAordinary ways.
