This book helped me to resolve questions and fears regarding the shame and guilt of divorce in my life. Coming from a Christian background and having a desire to do the right thing, even after four years of recovery, this was not fully resolved with me, especially in the area of remarriage. Les is able to explain God's grace and where divorce fits in there, in a way I never fully understood before.

This is a great resource of understanding and empathy for anyone who has not experienced divorce in dealing with anyone who has. This book sheds light on this often avoided subject and often neglected action in Christian churches today. This book is a MUST HAVE for Christian lay ministry and pastors.

Dr. Carter provides great encouragement for those of us that are divorced by reminding us that God's grace in there for us, too - just like it is everyone else. Sometimes, in the midst of the turmoil, it is hard to remember that and, unfortunately, it is ofter hard for others to remember that about the divorced folks as well. This is a great book to encourage the divorced and would also be a great book for a pastoral staff member to read.

I ordered this book for my friend who's going through a tough divorce. She said that the book is a really great read and comforting.

This book was so helpful in my divorce recovery process. There was no way that I wanted to forgive my spouse for the pain he caused our family. But I knew that forgiveness was important for me to heal.

I discovered this title on-line and recommended it sight unseen to a person trying to help a fractured family. The report back from this family friend is that the book made the rounds of family members and resulted in a significant reduction in the "anger level" in that family system. Both the separated spouses and their children have been able to treat each other with a degree of grace (including tenderness and respect) that wasn't there before. This does not mean immediate relational healing, but steps toward treating each other in a more Christ-like way. Needless to say, I will be recommending this book to others.

Excellent book for those who are going through a divorce and those who want an insight in how to support someone going through a divorce. This book was recommended to me by a Christian counselor. I now purchase copies so I can give them to give to others who are going through this difficult time in their life.

This book was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone going through a divorce. I personally was struggling with my decision because I was confused what that meant for my relationship with Christ, but after reading this book I feel comfortable and I feel as though all my questions have been answered and I was able to come to terms with my decision.

I read this book to help me deal with my marital separation and found the book to be very uplifting. The best part about this book though is NOT necessarily the marital aspect. This book is an AMAZING book about God's Grace and how we can and should demonstrate it to those around us. I recommend this book as a book about Grace alone regardless of the status of your relationship. Truly a must read!
