This is a fresh new outlook based upon current and historical research and what the Bible and our loving God really do say about divorce and remarriage. God doesn’t want us bound by the false "traditions of men," so this book gives specific cases when remarriage should be allowed. However, the restoration of troubled marriages is still God’s first priority, so specific cases are given when remarriage should not be allowed. This book also answers difficult questions about the ordination of church leaders, as well as those relating to the emotional needs of divorced men and women. Biblical answers are given on how we can, with the help of the Lord, overcome the negative emotions of grief, anger, depression, bitterness, unforgiveness, and rejection, so we can live the happy, fruitful, and abundant lives that God desires for all of his children! (John 10:10)

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
No other book known to the publisher has given such clear Biblical answers to the most important questions concerning divorce and remarriage. This book is very easy to read and understand by both the lay person and the theologian.
From the Author
The inspiration for this book began many years ago when I first saw how much injustice was being done to Christians who were divorced or remarried. The main purpose of this book is to liberate divorced Christians from the false "traditions of men" so that they will no longer be treated as second class citizens in the Kingdom of God.

This review is from: Can Divorced Christians Remarry? (Paperback)
As a divorced and remarried Christian, I believe that this issue is one of the most hurtful, prejudical, and sensitive facing the church today. Many believers have faced discrimination, shunning, and church "disipline" from pastors and churches trying to adhere to godly standards. Unfortunately, they end up enforcing mere "traditions of men" rather than God's will, to the detriment of the souls affected and to the body of Christ.Robert Eldredge Sr. takes great pains to explore the biblical covenant of marriage, the desire of God for strong marriages, and the history of the institution. And then he lays a scriptural foundation, verse upon verse, of God's instructions to believers, not man's interpretation, about separation and divorce. Out of this sound and sensible approach arises clear and compelling wisdom concerning marriage, divorce, and remarriage. One of my favorite insights is, "It seems only common sense that divorced and remarried Christians should be allowed the same privelages of serving our Lord Jesus Christ in ministry that is already allowed those who used to be thieves, murderers, adulterers, fornicators, drug dealers, rapists, gang leaders, and the like!" (page 155) More than his opinion, however sound, Eldredge bases his conclusions on God's Word. He closely examines what the scriptures say about remarriage: under what circumstances, when, and how. I saw Jeremiah 3:8 in a new light when he explained that God Himself divorced Israel for "infidelity". Throughout the book, Eldredge is understanding of the issues and compassionate toward those struggling with them. He is neither heavy-handed nor permissive. This book delivers a fair, honest, and candid treatment of a very difficult topic. If you or someone you love struggles with issues of separation, divorce, or remarriage, this book has Godly answers for them, delivered in an intelligent and loving way.

Can They?,
By Paul Lawrence - Evangelist (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Can Divorced Christians Remarry? (Paperback)
The good news is YES!!! I really enjoyed this book for it's refreshing insight to a much debated subject within, and sometimes without, the Christian community. I especially enjoyed the helpful historical insight to how many of the, "traditions of men" get started. It is high time for the people of God to come out of the rut-like bondage of religion. I highly recommend this liberating book to anyone and am looking forward to more written by this gifted author.
