A Failed Marriage Doesn’t Make You a Failure in God’s Eyes. When Lysa TerKeurst experienced the painful and unwanted death of her marriage after nearly thirty years, she didn't know who to turn to or what would actually help her. She needed to get her bearings on what the Bible really says about marriage and divorce. She also needed the tools to work through the fallout she was walking through.

Now, Lysa, alongside theologian Dr. Joel Muddamalle and Licensed Professional Counselor Jim Cress, offers you that resource, answering some of your toughest questions about how to move on, even when your marriage doesn’t, such as: - Does God hate divorce? - How do I stop feeling so angry about all that has been taken from me? - Why hasn’t God stopped all this tragedy from happening? - How do I walk toward a future I never envisioned? - How long is it going to take to heal? Whether you’re in the throes of a divorce, still processing things that happened years ago, or walking with someone you love through a devastating season, help is not far away and God deeply cares for you. Surviving an Unwanted Divorce offers biblically based, practical strategies for navigating loss, shame, intense loneliness, and the unfairness of it all as one life season ends . . . and a new hope-filled season begins.
