Helpful resource for ministry

As a woman who has served for many decades in ministry with my pastor-husband, I have never experienced the agony of divorce personally but have walked this tearful path with many women in the churches we have served. I am thankful to have a contemporary, biblically based, practical guide like this one to recommend.

Funny, Compassionate, Real

Suzanne Reeves offers practical, spiritual and moral support for any Christ-following woman facing a divorce. She shares from the bottom of her heart and the depths of her soul what she wished she could have heard while living through (and after) a divorce as a Christian. If you're in the midst of the breakup of your marriage, this book is worth a read. Reeves offers Scripture that will encourage you and advice that's been tested. She's so honest and down-to-earth. You'll feel like you've got a friend walking beside you, not an expert talking down to you.

As one who hasn't experienced divorce I also learned a lot about how to approach those who are with compassionate. I would point any Christian woman who needs help surviving divorce to this book. (I read a pre-publication version of the book).

A true Christian book about dealing with divorce!

Finally! A true Christian book about dealing with divorce! This has many helpful ideas & I actually bought one for a friend going through divorce & she loved it! It's nice when you can get a Christian perspective on something that is still taboo in so many churches.

I felt like she knew exactly what to say to me

I felt like she knew exactly what to say to me. I kept saying aloud, "Yes! That's exactly what I thought!" I will re-read it many times.

Wonderful book. Leaves you with hope, joy and peace.

This is a wonderful book. Written from personal experience without bitterness. Based on who you are in the eyes of God instead of the eyes of man. Good practical advice with humor thrown in. But best of all it leaves you with hope, joy and peace.
I have given away over 20 copies to young ladies who are going through a divorce or a rough part in their marriage.

This may have been the best gift I have ever given someone.

I purchased this book as part of a care package I sent my best friend after finding out she was getting divorced. Living far apart from each other, I wanted to show her support but couldn't travel right away. Immediately after receiving the book, she messaged me saying that she had found a new favorite scripture and was having a hard time putting the book down. Two days later she called wanting to know how I found this book, wanting to send it to someone else. A week later she called me crying, thanking me for finding the most perfect book for her. She says the book is just full of great information, has been a great help, and was just perfect for her.

For me, this book just turned out to be the perfect way to support a friend in need when I had no idea what to say to her.

Solid Biblical Wisdom seasoned with grace and humor

The road no one wants to walk is surrounded by pitfalls. Friends want to help but often say the wrong thing. Here's a friend who's been there, done that and wants to have coffee. Good comfort, good perspective! Well done on a HARD, HARD subject!

Terrific Book, Easy Read for a Tough Subject

I LOVED this book. I have read many books on divorce and this one was one of the very best. The author shared just enough of her own story to show she knew what she was talking about. And she tackled many of the most pertinent struggles a Christian woman feels when dealing with an unwanted divorce, yet expresses her hard-learned wisdom in an engaging manner. She injects humor, reality, and spiritual perspectives that are sure to encourage anyone with a broken heart who thinks her life is over after a spouse leaves.

Empowering!

I absolutely adored this book! I read it quickly, and I was overwhelmed with a sense of calm and peace that I hadn’t truly felt in the past 17 months, since my separation began. Suzanne, thank you for empowering me with God’s word. Your book breathed life into my tired mind. Thank you 🙏
