A graceful, biblical way to reclaim sanity for the home and dignity for the suffering spouse in a dysfunctional or dangerous marriage.

Thousands of conscientious believers wanting to honor the sacred vows they took before God suffer in dysfunctional, even dangerous marriages. Each and every day they must choose between the lesser of two divorce without sound biblical support or a life of perpetual, unrelenting misery. Somewhere between the secular disregard for the commands of Christ and the sacred unwillingness to deal with real problems of people, there is a way.

The redemptive divorce process is designed to honor the sacredness of the union while offering practical relief for the suffering partner and tough love for the offending spouse. In some cases, it might even be the catalyst for the restoration and rebuilding of the marriage. Practical, provocative, and utterly unique, Redemptive Divorce includes a helpful guide with worksheets for implementation.

[Rachel · Rating 5 out of 5]

A thoughtful read for anyone who has been taught about "divorce" via evangelical teachings. Eye opening and powerful regarding how to actually support someone who is in an abusive or unhealthy marriage, and what the Bible actually teaches.

[Lynette · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a book all counselors and pastors should read. It provides a way to help the spouse in a difficult marriage yet also makes way for restoration at the same time by dealing with the spouse that's choosing their sin over marriage.

Excellent

Upholds the Sanctity of Marriage while shedding light onto misconceptions used to dominate.

I recommend this book to anyone in a destructive marriage who is seeking answers from the Bible. It shines HOPE.
