Life After Divorce by Scott Silverii,Leah Silverii Pdf

Welcome to Life After Divorce— We’re proud of you for taking the necessary steps in caring for yourself. This is no time to feel guilty about making sure you’re okay. We want you to know that you're going to be better than okay because you’ll be making decisions based on timeless advice and Biblical principles. We have both survived the soul-shattering trauma of divorce, but we also know the beauty of second chances once healing is achieved. Walk with us through the process and into the light of recovery. Surviving divorce, reclaiming your worth, and rebuilding life is as challenging as it is a wonderful opportunity to see God’s will at work. Leah and I know what it feels like to hit the dark and bumpy patches of life, but we thank God for being a redeeming God of second chances. Divorce is a difficult topic, and it’s possible you’re still going through the process or struggling with the aftermath. We felt led to reach out in these times because we’ve not only been there, but we both wish there’d been someone or something like this book to offer us straight truths in turbulent times. We’re not going to sugarcoat it, or encourage you to say sweet things about yourself in a mirror. Is divorce God’s plan for family? Of course not. A healthy, nuclear family is what He wants for us. But there have been many families in the bible that didn’t meet God’s plan, still He extended grace and blessed them because they sought His heart. And better yet, God used these “less than ideal” families like theirs and ours to build His kingdom. We want to encourage you that through God’s love and your faithfulness, it is possible to find healing, hope, and happiness post-divorce. Our F-A-I-T-H model for recovery to romance provides practical steps and biblical truths for the season of transitioning from defeat to victory. Although you may feel like it, you’re not alone. The next time you’re in church, look around and you’ll see many believers who have been divorced or who are remarried with blended families. While most churches have a heart for the hurting, few provide the direct support to the divorced, or those remarrying and blending families. The effects of those divorces extend beyond single parents, as studies show thirty-five percent of children from divorced parents leave the church all together. We’re not theologians. We’re people just like you, who love God, but who make mistakes. We’ve endured the tragedy of divorce and know without fail that Christ has blessed us with each other. Now, we want to help and encourage others by sharing our journey. There is always hope, Scott and Leah Silverii

Christian women will embrace this book because it helps them feel seen and validated amid their own relationship storms.

Come, Sweet Day: Thoughts and Poems from Hard Times to Hope: A Writer's Journey by Julianne Donaldson Pdf

Bestselling romance author Julianne Donaldson has written deeply emotional, sweeping love stories in Edenbrooke and Blackmoore, often commenting that her characters were a reflection of what she wanted a woman's life to be: happy, secure, unconditionally loved, and fulfilled. But in reality her own life was far more marked by difficult challenges and disappointments. In her new book, Donaldson reveals her thoughts and feelings from that unsettled time of despair and suffering so women can know they are not alone and that there is hope even in the hard times. Compiled from years of inspirational words of encouragement to herself on social media--and even bits and pieces of random musings written on scrap paper, this is a unique writer's journey through a life passage marked by cancer, a bitter divorce, legal battles with her ex-husband, mental illness, and persistent feelings of rejection and abandonment which also rendered her unable to pick up her career as a writer to support herself and her family. Overwhelmed by sadness and almost paralyzed into inaction by despair, she slowly finds her way back to her writer's toolbox, unpacking the pain and sharing her innermost feelings as if revealing a character's thoughts in a novel. In her writing she begins to find rays of understanding and acceptance and eventually finds strength from knowing that God's love and His grace and guidance give greater meaning to our suffering and light the way to hope.

How to Survive a Shipwreck by Jonathan Martin Pdf

Life is turbulent. On that, we can all agree. Disappointed dreams, broken relationships, identity crises, vocational hang-ups, wounds from the past--there are so many ways life can send us crashing up against the rocks. In this deeply personal book, Jonathan Martin draws from his own stories of failure and loss to find the love that can only be discovered on the bottom. How to Survive a Shipwreck is an invitation to trust the goodness of God and the resilience of your soul. Jonathan's clarion call is this: No matter how hard you've fallen, no matter how much you've been hurt, help is on the way--just when you need it most. With visionary artistry and pastoral wisdom, Jonathan Martin reveals what we'll need to make it through those uncharted waters, how we can use these defining experiences to live out of our depths, and why it will then become impossible to go back to the half-life we once lived.
