Christian Divorce Recovery:
Those who experience the pain of divorce may feel like the biblical Job, who
sat in the ash pile scraping his sores, wondering what had become of his
life after he lost his family and everything he held dear. In our society,
divorce is an all-too-common means to descend into ashes.
Ashes into Gold: The Journey of Spirituality is a useful resource for Christian divorce recovery. It is written for those
who have experienced the pain of divorce, as well as for others who have
descended into the ashes of life. In my years as a Marriage and Family
Therapist, I have counseled many persons going through divorce. Over time, I
have come to realize that, even though these persons experience great pain,
in the midst of their suffering God calls them to a new journey in their
lives.
Those who have experienced divorce and have found themselves in the ash pile of life are called to the journey of
spirituality in the wilderness of change and growth. Make no mistake, the
journey is difficult and painful, but on the other side of the wilderness
encounter with God awaits the promised land—even though it is so very
difficult to see from the ashes.
Ashes into Gold: The Journey of Spirituality offers hope to Christians in divorce recovery. There is a way out of the
pain, though not an easy one. There is new life, but it awaits you on the
other side of the wilderness. Those of you who embark on the journey of
spirituality and encounter God in the wilderness of change and growth will
find that God can turn even your ashes into gold!
