A CHRISTIAN AND SEPARATED? SO MUCH FOR YOUR MINISTRY by Doug Cook
Now available: See how to order below
An unsettling truth about marriage confronts a chagrined Christian community today, while secular observers are seriously under-whelmed. The truth is that divorce is now as common in the church as it is in the secular world. God hates divorce, yet He is not against separation as a temporary measure of mending differences.
Experiencing a separation myself, I had “first-hand” encounters with attitudes and misconceived philosophies in the church that bordered on condemnation rather than support in restoration. Christian and Separated uncovers these ingrained attitudes and beliefs in an effort to bring guidance, hope and encouragement to suffering marriages. It also urges a transformation of the position many Christians take when encountering a fellow believer struggling with a marital relationship. Although there are a lot of great books on Christian marriage, few come from the author’s personal experience and fewer address the disparaging reaction from Christians towards fellow believers that are struggling with this issue. The increasing numbers of divorce in the church clearly indicate the clinically oriented approaches of most of these books are not working.
Because I have endured the pain of a previous divorce and seven years of separation in my second marriage, God has given me immeasurable knowledge about these traumatic life experiences. My prayer is that many will benefit from this work reflecting on my personal recovery experiences from the front seat of the separation and divorce roller coaster.
