When Divorce is Mercy

Description

Marriages are meant to last. So when a marriage is devastated by betrayal, abandonment, or abuse, painful questions follow: What does faithfulness look like now? Must I stay? Am I free to leave?

Offering biblical wisdom to suffering spouses—and the pastors, counselors, and friends who walk beside them—Michael Gembola and Darby Strickland lay out a process of discernment for complex situations of infidelity and desertion. As readers consider the teaching of Scripture, assess the impact of the offenses, and look for repentance and change, Gembola and Strickland encourage them to trust God’s compassionate leading for each faithful step.
