Recovering From Divorce: Finding Peace and Happiness

By Mary Jo Thorson

Divorce is both traumatic and unnerving. You may feel as if the end of your marriage was a personal failing. It's not uncommon to believe you'll never love again, or even that God will punish you for ending your marriage.

None of this is true. Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce-you're not alone in your pain and uncertainty. And while God certainly holds marriage sacred, he's also forgiving and loving.

Recovering from a divorce takes time, and often requires guidance. Author, Christian, and divorce survivor, Mary Jo Thorson has seventeen years of experience helping people heal from the stress, pain, anger, and guilt caused by divorce.

Recovering from Divorce explores the different stages of divorce, which are not so different from the stages of grief. Shock, anger, guilt, and denial are painful but vital stages in the healing process, eventually yielding to forgiveness and new relationships.

Thorson supports each stage of recovery with inspirational biblical passages, reminding readers forgiveness is the ultimate goal-forgiveness for ourselves, for our ex-spouses, and forgiveness from God.
