From Broken Vows to Healed Hearts by Rebecca L. Mitchell Pdf

Divorce can be a sensitive topic for Christians. After all, a husband and wife are supposed to be "one flesh." Yet even in the church, divorce rates continue to be substantial. And women are desperate for biblically based guidance, encouragement, and hope--not to sweep their pain under the rug and pretend broken vows don't exist but to know that complete healing is possible. Rebecca Mitchell knows this because she has experienced divorce firsthand. Her marriage crumbled after twenty-five years, and she went through every stage of grief. But one day she realized she needed to stop being trapped by the past and move forward. She refused to accept the role of victim. Her journey to healing and her experience leading a support group in her home church led to a conviction that others could be helped in the same way: through engaged community, biblical self-care, and compassionate reflective practices. This unique book covers topics such as depression, loneliness, forgiveness, hope, and even joy. Each of the twelve chapters includes five days of devotionals and journaling questions. From Broken Vows to Healed Hearts leads readers through the process of realizing that brokenness is a stage, not an identity. Mitchell encourages women to maintain hope for healing, to be patient with the time recovery takes, to be committed to community, and, above all, to seek God.

Broken Vows by Rowena Cory Daniells Pdf

It has been six hundred years since Imoshen the First, Causare of the T'En, brought her beleaguered people across the seas to Fair Isle. The magical folk mixed with the natives, bringing culture and sophistication, and made the island one of the wealthiest, most powerful nations in the known world. In one night, all is lost. Imoshen, namesake of the first Empress, is the last pure-blooded T'En woman, left behind when her kinfolk went to die in defence of their homeland. The savage Ghebites, barbarians from the warm north, have conquered Fair Isle, and their general, Tulkhan, claims her as his right of conquest. Proud and fierce, trained in arts of war and possessed of extraordinary healing gifts, Imoshen must choose to submit to the barbarian soldier and save her people's heritage... or to die in a futile gesture of defiance.

Shattered Vows by Debra Laaser Pdf

For any woman dealing with the fallout of infidelity, this sensitive and practical guide offers proven tools to help you make wise and empowering decisions as you deal with your husband’s sexual betrayal. If you have been devastated by your husband's sexual betrayal--whether an isolated incident or a long-term pattern of addiction--you don't have to live as a victim. If you choose to stay in your marriage, you have options other than punishing, tolerating, or ignoring your spouse; in fact, extraordinary growth awaits a woman willing to deal with the pain of her husband's struggles with sexual purity. Even if your spouse will not participate in a program for healing, you can change your own life in powerful and permanent ways. Shattered Vows is inspired by Debra Laaser's own journey through betrayal, her extensive work with hundreds of hurting women as a licensed marriage and family therapist, and her healed marriage after her husband's infidelity. In this book, she gives you the emotional tools to develop greater intimacy in your life, spiritual tools to transform your suffering, and meaningful answers to the questions that arise amid the complex fallout of broken vows: What am I supposed to do now? Why should I get help when this is his problem? How could this have happened? Where can I hide my heart? When will I stop feeling so out of control? What do you mean, "do I want to get well?" How can I ever trust him again? Is forgiving him really possible? How can we rebuild our relationship? The pain endured from sexual betrayal can break your heart, but it does not need to break your life.

God, The Devil and Divorce by Linda M. Kurth Pdf

God, The Devil, and Divorce tells the story of a Christian woman’s marriage and divorce recovery from her “crazymaking” spouse; and how she learned to trust God along the way. How could Linda Moore Kurth’s marriage that once seemed so right become so wrong? Put-downs, shaming, and distancing grow into habitual emotional abuse. Counseling provides glimmers of hope, only for that hope to fade. She is shocked when her latest Christian counselor tells her, “If you divorce, Satan wins.” Linda receives a dichotomy of reactions from other Christians for her ultimate decision to leave her marriage. Betrayal and heartache bring her to her knees, but she clings to the belief that God loves her more than He loved her marriage. That belief sustains her as she builds a life of abundant joy. An inspirational read for Christians going through divorce and recovery.

How God Will Restore Your Marriage by Erin Thiele Pdf

Is everyone telling you that your marriage is hopeless? It's not! God is more than able to restore any marriage, especially YOURS! Why should YOU be another divorce statistic when God's Word holds both the Power and the Truth to change YOUR seemingly hopeless situation? "I want to praise God! I began reading the book on Wed. I started repenting for my sin and after just 2 days my wife called me! She hasn't been able to talk to me for more than 6 months! This is really a breakthrough and has encouraged me to continue to follow the principles in the book. God is changing me and I now see all the horrible mistakes I made to bring this divorce about. I am now sure God can and wants to restore any marriage because my situation seemed hopeless. Don't give up!" Kevin in Colorado, divorced "These books have kept me going the last 6 months. I just got a call from my wife and she told me that God has told her that she and I will be back together again!! She said she is not ready yet, but she knows that it will happen- Praise God!!" Larry in Illinois, separated "I cannot tell you enough how much I wish I had this book before following and confronting my wife with the other man. The horrifying consequences from not following the principles of Scripture the book outlines has been unreal. Then I finally found out about your ministry and found hope in a sea of despair. I have read and re-read the book, studying verse after verse in the Bible, and then some. I am just now finding peace in the storm after almost five months of struggles. GOD BLESS you for having the courage to stand and fight for your marriage and for sharing God's wisdom with me! AWESOME!" Eric* in Alaska

Broken Vows by John Greco Pdf

“There was never supposed to be a post-marriage period of my life,” says John Greco. He had just accepted his dream position as a church pastor when his wife announced she was divorcing him. In a few short weeks, his marriage ended and his career plans unraveled. He was hurt, angry, and felt abandoned by God. Marriage is supposed to be for life, but divorce still happens. How can a Christian reconcile the reality of divorce with the biblical view of marriage? How can the wronged spouse forgive? And how can God still be good when bad things happen? In Broken Vows: Divorce and the Goodness of God, Greco doesn’t offer pat answers. In the initial aftermath, he says one must simply grieve. “There is a period after a devastating loss when a soul is unable to take in words of healing,” he says. “These are the moments, not to look for answers or try to find any sort of good in the situation, but to pour yourself out to Jesus.” Broken Vows combines Greco’s personal story with a biblical view of suffering. He provides pastoral help for those who have experienced divorce and gives all Christians a way to think biblically about this difficult subject.
