EXCITING NEWS!!!

Sue Rowland has just finished a new book on healing and hope after divorce.

'HEALING AFTER DIVORCE: HOPE FOR CATHOLICS'

The book is being published by St. Anthony Messenger Press and will be available

August 16, 2010.

Just a note: If you are not Catholic, don't be put off by the subtitle.
I wrote this book for everyone. You'll find it helpful,
whatever your church affiliation, or even if you have no church home.

Here are some features of "Healing After Divorce"

• Section One discusses the Christian marriage covenant and what it means. When is a 'Church' marriage not Christian? When do and how I know "it's over?"
• Section Two takes the reader through the painful months after the decision is made, but before the divorce is final. Topics in this section deal with taking care of yourself while waiting, telling family and others you are about to be divorced, and grieving in healthy ways.
  
• Section Three walks the reader through the first months after divorce. Topics covered are first decisions, forgiveness, pitfalls to avoid, and planning for the future.
• Section Four is about the rest of your life after divorce: Developing new beliefs about God and ourselves, dealing with finances, learning to balance our spiritual and temporal lives.
• For Catholics, there is an Appendix about the Annulment Process of the Catholic Church.

Stay 'tuned' to this Web site for more information about this important resource. With almost half of us getting divorces, it is time for the Christian people to face the problem, shake off their misconceptions, and minister to those whose marriages have failed.
