DIVORCE IS NOT INEVITABLE

Delivering Hope—Preventing Divorce

SHIPPENSBURG, PA – With hundreds of thousands of couples divorcing in the United States annually—including Christians—there are millions of people impacted either by going through it, have gone through it, or are contemplating it—not to mention the children who are innocent victims.

God Understands Divorce—A Biblical Message of Grace is a compilation of real-life marriage situations that explain how quickly relationships can deteriorate and how to bring life back to terminally ill marriages. Sensitive commentary with bits of humor, this is an exceptional book of healing and hope.

“As Christian couples experience divorce at an alarming rate, individuals cry out, wondering if there are any real answers or solutions. Does anybody really care?  In these pages, Barry reveals that God has been where you are, He knows your pain, He desires wholeness for you, and He offers clear guidance to enable you to get there. He really cares!” —Gary Chapman, pastor, author

Fifteen comprehensive and well-documented chapters cover all aspects of preventing divorce including:

• Infidelity; Impotence
• Substance, Emotional, Physical Abuse
• Personal Growth and Happiness
• Intolerance; Incompatibility

Author Barry Ham writes, “My spouse doesn’t love me anymore—what should I do? I messed up my marriage big time—how do I fix it? My parents are divorcing—how should I respond? Husbands and wives are going their separate ways in our church—what can I do? Questions, questions, questions! I have faced them all as a husband, father, professor, and therapist, and they are my reasons and my passion for writing this book. Life can be an excruciating journey, but this book offers support and solid biblical answers. And most importantly, you will discover that God truly understands and cares.”

Dr. Barry Ham is a college professor, adolescent counselor, and marriage and family therapist. His articles about divorce have been published in professional journals, and he has been interviewed on Focus on the Family News because of his expertise and encouraging, practical applications and advice.

God Understands Divorce reveals the message of God’s own experience with divorce and His ability to get in the trenches with people—along with a clear plan for individuals and ministries to counter the divorce epidemic. In addition to being an essential, credible individual resource, this book is an ideal text for churches and small groups that see the need to address marriage and divorce.
