OverviewDivorce is wreaking havoc across the African American community and leaving a myriad of single-parent homes in its wake. Despite the history and traditional values of the Black Church, African American Christians have not been exempt from the onslaught of divorce. This is evident by the fact that the divorce rate among this segment of society is the same as it is in the secular world. Yet, divorce is a bitter pill to swallow for anyone, but especially for Christians; many of whom report that they feel abandoned by God and the church. With the tension between God's standards and their divorce reality, Christians could struggle to recover from divorce. In fact, despite the reason for the breakup of their marriage, many Christians report that surviving and thriving after divorce are no small feat, and requires a high degree of faith, courage, persistence, and prayers. So you might ask, how does one survive and thrive after divorce? This book offers the answer to this question and is packed with insights from actual divorcees who share lessons from their divorce. These messages attest to the fact that people can forgive, survive, and actually thrive after divorce.
