Synopsis

This book is a story of triumph and victory over the evils of divorce. At the time of my divorce I had come to a crossroads in my life. I would either submit to the will of evil or I would seek to embrace what was good and right in this world. In my seeking I found the greatest good the world has ever known, and His name is Jesus Christ. For the past twenty-one years my wife Julie and I have grown stronger in our faith together, and we have witnessed the power of God to heal broken relationships and bring restoration to our own family because of His infinite and steadfast love. Our lives bare witness to the truth in God''s word that proclaims that His love never fails, and that the love of Christ overcomes all things we may encounter in life. The intimacies shared in this book are a reflection of the journey we have been on throughout the course of this life changing process. The inspiration behind its message is that it may bring hope to other families who have been stricken with the disease called divorce. And that it may instill a belief that it is possible to be cured of this affliction through the medicine of God''s love if we will submit to His will in allowing it to flow in and through our hearts. There is something truly amazing that happens when someone is able to be transparent and vulnerable enough to share the pages of their book with others. It opens up a world of possibilities for the many people who had always felt that they were alone in dealing with the many struggles we face as human beings upon this earth. The word of God says to; "Carry each other''s burdens, and in this way you fulfill the law of Christ." One of the greatest commandments in this law is to love one another. It is because of that love that we share our lives with you for the glory of God.
