What a surprise New Hope for Divorced Catholics was for me. I thought being a divorced person that I could never marry again before God. The well-written book 'New Hope for Divorced Catholics' opened my eyes that not every marriage is put together by God, that annulments are used only in 15% of the Catholic world, that the process, though good for the educated Western mind, is a liability to the poor and many ethnic groups. I never knew the process is virtually only 35 years old in a 2000 year old Church. The concept of the death of a marriage was most understandable. It was fascinating to learn that if marriage is a Sacrament, in abuse it can be a sacrilege. This book is well titled. Truly, it is new hope for divorced Catholics and, I would add, for all Christians.

As a Catholic divorcee, I found New Hope for Divorced Catholics to be a superb book. I discovered profound understanding of a divorced person, startling insights into our Christian tradition, and a common-sense view of how no one is without a solution. This book is a must for all divorced Christians who have a faith, and all those in ministry who help the divorced and separated.
