Andre Bustanoby has put together a brief (165 pages) and excellent synopsis of the issues when a divorce is forced upon a spouse. Chapters 2 (Letting go of your spouse), 8 (Lonliness), &9 (Loving and respecting yourself) are especially helpful when the couple's children are older and on their own. This is not a technical book, it's a practical book. Those going through an unwanted divorce are telling me they benefitted from reading it. It's a great 'Open Door' for discussion when both the counselor and client have read it. The focus is on rescuing rather than excusing or blaming. I highly recommend this book to be a part of anyone's repertoir who has an interest in this subject.

I have read several books on this subject, and what distinguishes this one is a thorough discussion on the Biblical basis of divorce and remarriage. The book, written in the 70s, is somewhat dated in its references to society, but overall very helpful.

I recommend this book to people who might experience or are experiencing the significant upheavals that divorces bring. The author provides insightful perspectives and advice.

I bought this book because of the title and the excerpt. If you're look for a book that tells you to move on then this is the book for you. If you are looking for spiritual indications, what the wrod of God has to say and how you are affected in the realm of the spirit than you need Tony Evans's booklet on divorce and remarriage.
