Description

Lysa TerKeurst, Dr. Joel Muddamalle, and Licensed Professional Counselor Jim Cress, hosts of the Therapy & Theology podcast, help readers understand what the Bible says about how to survive the death of a marriage while pursuing wholeness and healing.

Divorce brings grief, shock, anger--and many soul-deep questions. When New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst experienced the painful and unwanted death of her marriage after nearly thirty years, she didn't know who to turn to or what would actually help her move forward. She needed to get her bearings on what the Bible really says about marriage and divorce. She also needed the tools to get to the other side and see that life doesn't end when your marriage ends.

Now, in Surviving an Unwanted Divorce, Lysa, alongside theologian Dr. Joel Muddamalle and Licensed Professional Counselor Jim Cress, offers that resource to readers, answering the toughest questions people have about the journey through divorce such as

• Does God actually hate divorce
• What Scriptures do I need to know and correctly interpret as I process the death of my marriage
• How will I know when it's time to make the painful choice to get a divorce
• How can I let go . . . and still hold myself together
• What do I do about my fears, sadness, and loneliness
• How can I come to a place of wholeness and healing so my brokenness doesn't trickle out to other relationships
• How do I move forward

No matter where readers find themselves in their journey--whether they are contemplating divorce, in the middle of one, or still trying to recover years after--this is the book they've been looking for. Surviving an Unwanted Divorce offers biblically based, practical strategies for growing in faith and self-awareness as one season of life ends . . . and another hope-filled season begins.
