There are people in your church and community who feel wounded, rejected, and shamed by their divorce. They don’t always know where to go for help.

When a tragic divorce destroys a family, many women find their hopes and dreams shattered. For many, this is the greatest loss they have faced. It devastates them, and they desperately need emotional and spiritual help. They struggle with loneliness and shame. Many of them need to face the pain and begin to forgive themselves and others in order to move forward in life..

The good news is a recent study showed Christian faith made a big difference in divorcees' ability to put their life back together and successfully live with hope and purpose. In fact, Christians recovered nearly 3 times better than people having "no religion." They were able to live again because of their faith and trust in the Lord!

This 8-session DVD study helps them stay connected to God’s truth during this season of loss. It helps guide them towards healing and recovery. You don’t have to be a pastor or counselor to lead it! It comes with all that you need. This Christian divorce recovery series covers topics such as dealing with loneliness, forgiving offenses, overcoming fear, picking up the pieces, and moving past the shame toward healing and wholeness.
