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.

Informative, touching the heart of the matter

As a professional counselor, it is a wonderfully written book, written and performed by Lysa, her therapist and one of her theological advisers. It is sound advice that I have encouraged people who have gone through divorce and those who have just been in difficult relationships to read. This has so many applications certainly when walking through a divorce but even when traveling through other unwanted problems as well. Many of the topics are similar although nothing is as keen as the betrayal felt like that of one who thought it would be “forever”. This is the only book that I listened to on Audible while reading on Kindle so I could highlight. Then, I decided to purchase the hardback. I am a voracious reader and this is a first for me. A must read. Have recommended it to colleagues, clients and friends.

I Needed This SO Much

I am just now going through a divorce after 17 years with a covert narcissist. It's been brutal. I realized, belatedly, my whole relationship was of being exploited, not loved. It's been savagely painful. This book brought so much clarity. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

That I was able to listen to someone that had went through the same thing.

I love all the verses and information given to help me through this new journey.

Godly advise, in a time of need.

very helpful, my wife of 25 years left me for her lover. I did not even want to live. Drawing close to the Lord, and Godly advise such as this got me through.

Lysa read my journal

I have been going through an unwanted divorce for the past couple of years. It was liberating to hear my feelings be validated. There were many times while listening that my journal entries matched what Lysa was saying, exactly. Thank you Lysa for writing a book that came from such a heart wrenching season. It gives me strength and hope for the future. Thank you for including the theology portion and the counselor section. It felt like a big hug listening to this book.
