From the Back Cover

"No subject in our churches today carries with it such far-reaching emotional and spiritual implications."

Are there conditions under which divorce is permissible? And when is remarriage an option? Can a second union truly be blessed by God?

We have a lot of questions about divorce in the church - and a lot of divorces. Failure to look at what the Bible teaches impairs the ability of the body of Christ to help people avoid the ongoing consequences of divorce and enter into the recovery process.

Evans suggests that divorce is best studied alongside the covenant of marriage, for it is only when we examine the union Christ designed for man and woman that we can begin to understand the full weight of each severed union. Furthermore, it is only when we have examined marriage from a biblical perspective that we can begin to explore the possibility of remarriage.

This book is a timely discussion of two of the biggest issues facing the church today. Thankfully, there are good, biblical answers to the challenges of divorce and remarriage; answers that bring true healing through Christ.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource with a high view of marriage., June 11, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Tony Evans Speaks Out on Divorce and Remarriage (Tony Evans speaks out on...series) (Paperback)

In a very short & concise book, Tony Evans gets right to the point about divorce and the possibility of remarriage. Evans promotes the high view of marriage in that he shows that it is a covenant relationship rather than a contractual relationship. However, he also demonstrates that there are a few biblical conditions for divorce although he is quite clear that divorce is what God allows because we are so sinful; the Bible never endorses divorce under any circumstances. Evans promotes the idea that no Christian should consider divorce unless his/her church says that he/she has biblical grounds for considering divorce.

I highly recommend this book to anyone (Christian or non-christian) who is contemplating divorce or has had divorce action filed against them

This review is from: Tony Evans Speaks Out On Divorce and Remarriage (Tony Evans Speaks Out Booklet Series) (Paperback)

I have read many books on restoring marriages, dead marraiges, divorce, praying for your wayward spouse, being the redeemer in the marriage, fixing yor marriage alone, etc...this is the best book a person in limbo can read. If you are hoping that your marriage will be restored and your wayward spouse still seeks divorce and you wonder if he or she will make you an adulterer if you remarry, this is the book for you. If you want to divorce for "no-fault", this is the book for you. If your spouse has commited sexual immorality and you don't know what to so, this is the book for you. If you have a marriage ministry in your church or want to start one, this is the book for you. This one booklet has changed my life for the better. I ordered several books from popular writers and none of them even came close to this book.

This review is from: Tony Evans Speaks Out On Divorce and Remarriage (Tony Evans Speaks Out Booklet Series) (Paperback)

If you want to know what God thinks about divorce and remarriage, this is the book for you. It's not the popular view of divorce but it is the Biblical view.
