This story is my life to a T!

This book is AMAZING! I heard about this book on a Christian show and had to buy it, because this is EXACTLY what happened in my life! I had an affair and left my husband. We got a divorce and after that, I found the Lord and ended the affair. Shortly after our divorce, God CLEARLY told me it was His will that my ex-husband and I get back together. "Ya, right!" I said. There was NO WAY my ex wanted anything to do with that idea. He hadn't found God at this point, but I continued to tell him, "I know it's God's will to bring our family back together." Week after week, I would come home from church, call my ex-husband, and ask him to come over. God would put on my heart LOTS of things I needed to ask forgiveness for. Sometimes, he would be attentive, other times, he would be very standoff-ish and distant. I would ALWAYS follow-up with telling him that although I didn't see it happening, I felt it was God's will for us to reunite our family. I became very discouraged off and on. I was very impatient at times and frustrated about the situation. God kept telling me to be patient, but it was so difficult! I said, "God, if this is Your will, please be BOLD and show me this is from You." 2 years went by and after 100s of prayers, 100s of talks with God and trusting in the Lord, my ex-husband approached me on a rainy Sunday and said, "I'm ready. I'm ready to get remarried and recommit to each other and our children! God has been speaking to me for the last few months and I can't ignore Him anymore. I still love you and have always loved you!" Talk about being BOLD!!! God is soooo good! He CAN make miracles happen. This book is a perfect testimony to that, and so is my story. My ex-husband and I remarried a year ago and couldn't be more in love. Our children couldn't be more happy to have both of their parents in the same home. The difference, between this marriage and our first marriage is GOD. He HAS to be the center of your marriage. Seek Him, ask Him for help and guidance, and He will be there for you. Amen!

I do again

Great!!! This isn't just a story about marriage and divorce. It's a story about how the love of God transforms hearts. It's a story about God's strength and love in a surrendered life. I read it straight through. I have been married for 33 years to my high school sweetheart. Even my marriage is strengthen by the truths in this book. I will be recommending it to all the women I counsel. Thank you Scruggs for sharing the story of your love for each other and for your God! Mona Corwin Amazing Things Ministry Texas

Loved this book!

I Do Again is an engaging and thought provoking book about God's plan for marriage and His design for couples to deepen their walk both together and individually. As a Christian wife and mother, I know my relationship with Jesus must be first for me to give my husband and kids my very best. This book brings to the forefront the message of total and complete surrender. Jeff and Cheryl are completely transparent telling their story humbly and without excuse. I highly recommend this book. Many will be encouraged and uplifted by their testimony of restoration. Loved this book!

Awesome! 5 Stars!

This is an amazingly well written book that is absolutely a must read for all Christian couples, Ministers, and Marriage Counselors.

Can remarriage work?...

Can remarriage work?... I was skeptical when I opened the book. Rarely have a seen a "remarriage" work. However, I over looked an important element. God is bigger than our problems, attitudes, and flaws. "Through Him all things are possible." Cheryl and Jeff Scruggs are proof that with God a "remarriage" can be successful. The authors courageously share the pain of a failed marriage and all that led up to it. Seven years after their divorce, they once again found themselves at an altar exchanging vows. I Do Again is written with great honesty in hopes of aiding other couples.
