Healing the Divorced Heart : Devotions for Hope & Encouragement
By Rose Sweet
We can all relate to a physical heart attack and fully understand that complete healing takes time and a prescribed course of action: rest, medication, and changes in routine or our daily diet. But what should we do about emotional and spiritual heart problems? Divorce is like a disease that tears families apart even unto the third and fourth generations. It has risen to national epidemic levels, but there are no twenty-four hour telethons for divorce nor 10k races or pink ribbons to raise awareness for the number one cause of family death. Too often, those who suffer the "heart attack" of divorce fail to follow a plan of recovery, allowing the build-up of bitterness to continue to clog emotional arteries. Rose challenges and rewards the reader with daily doses of hope and healing in this devotional. She invites those who have been damaged by divorce to take their spiritual temperature and examine emotional x-rays. The book is full of practical advice, encouragement, and hope centered on daily doses of God's Word.

Grace and Divorce: God's Healing Gift to Those Whose Marriages Fall Short
By Dr. Les Carter
Never easy for anyone, divorce can be especially painful for Christians trying to follow the teachings of the New Testament. It can result not only in feelings of personal and spiritual failure but also in being ostracized from the church, shunned by friends and family, and alienated from dearly held beliefs and truths. But there is a different way for Christians to view those who divorce. Dr. Carter provides sound theological thinking on divorce and wise, compassionate suggestions for reframing and deepening our understanding of this difficult and controversial topic. Using stories from his practice as a therapist, Dr. Carter offers healing to both those who divorce and those who know and love them. He explains that Jesus never intended us to be so fixed about right and wrong and so judgmental that we lose the ability to love those who do not meet His perfect standards. With kindness and love, he shows that the wonderful gift of God's grace is the best way to respond to people facing this trying life challenge.
