ABOUT THE
BOOK
If you are suffering through the pain of divorce or marital separation and you feel like you just can't take it anymore, then this book is for you. It began as a cathartic self-help

overwhelming pain of his separation and divorce. Jeff discovered first
hand, that even as a Christian, the pain, disparity and loneliness
associated with divorce is capable of pushing anyone to their breaking
point. As Jeff struggled to find his way, he allowed God to use his
personal turmoil as a lesson that would catapult him onto an exciting
life changing journey.
This book is written in
everyday language, as if the author is talking to a close friend. It is
the real life account of his struggles, challenges and spiritual growth
during this difficult time in his life.

course that will change your life.

PREVIEW
This book was written for the
sole purpose of helping others who are suffering through marital
separation or are in the process of going through an unwanted divorce. I
believe marriages should last a lifetime and be saved at all costs. I
will share many of my personal experiences-- good and bad--with the hope
that others will learn from my mistakes. My hope is that others will
deal with their marital problems and challenges the way God intended, as
it is written in the Bible. I am not a Pastor, nor do I have a formal
education in theology. I'm just a normal sinner saved by grace who wants
more than anything to save my marriage and others if I can.
Even as a Christian, the
divorce process was one of the most painful experiences I have ever had
to endure. The pain of divorce and separation is extremely intense. I
have seen many Christians, including myself, on the brink of suicide,
expressing harmful intentions, suffering severe depression and facing
many other adversities that could potentially ruin their lives. I have
fought through considerable pain and difficulties making many mistakes,
but eventually learned the hard way. As of the day that I am writing
this book, I am still waiting for God to answer my prayer: Lord put my
family back together and restore my marriage to your standards of what a
Godly marriage should be, what you intended for it to be.
If by sharing my
experiences, joys, struggles, revelations, pains, discoveries and
opinions, I am able to help save one marriage; my efforts will not have
been in vain.
