Between the secular and the spiritual

This book manages to meld the secular and the spiritual parts of a divorce and the subsequent attempts to get back into the dating and mating game. It has a great deal of relevance to any LDS who are divorced or even contemplating divorce. It is a guide through the minefields of dating and finding an eternal partner. Ms. James takes the reader gently by the hand and shows where the pitfalls and the pratfalls are, then guides the reader to where the road runs true. This book constantly seeks to use biblical references to illustrate the path and shows how one can still lead a proper and spiritual life even in the midst of the pain and anguish of divorce. I had thought that the natural end to divorce was to move away from your faith. Ms. James shows how to use the lessons that could be gained there to become closer to God.

A Positive Influence

Ms. James hits the nail right on the head with her direct and somewhat humorous insight into the reality of divorce within the LDS world. She described almost word for word what I have been feeling for the past 3 years since my divorce. Her book helped me to finally get the closure I needed, to look at myself in the mirror and take responsibility for my own faults, and it helped me to find the motivation to move forward. I highly recommend this book to anyone who might be going through or has experienced a divorce. It is a most positive influence for good!
