Coming Soon: Ministering to Divorcing Families
Why do so many divorcing
families leave our churches? Divorce experts are unanimous in their
observation that the church is noticeably absent when families go through
a divorce. According to family scholar Elizabeth Marquardt, two-thirds
of children, whose families attended church, report that "no one"
from the church was there for them (Between Two Worlds). This
short, practical workbook will provide strategies, guidelines and language
for ministering to this hurting population and tackle the pithy problem
of divorce theology.
