When a marriage that began with optimism and hope fails, it is almost certain that someone will be left feeling hurt and unloved. But the central message of Single Again and Secure in God's Love is that God loves divorced people! Drawing from a well of over twenty-five years of helping thousands of men and women through the rapids of divorce, Jim Smoke shares insight and encouragement on subjects such as:" Divorce...God Provides", "But I Don't Want to Let Go!", "I Need All the Friends I Can Get!" and others.
A very good friend of mine gave it to me to celebrate my divorce and I waited till I underwent one of the most humilating experiences in my life to read this book. And I was relieved to know that I am on the right track ~~ Jim Smoke has excellent advice for people who are going through divorce as well as uplifting little verses to help you to retain your focus back on God. My favorite quote is from Ernest Hemingway and he said, "Life breaks us all sometimes, but some grow strong at the broken places." And it is so true ~~ only if we take Smoke's advice to heart. These are not the heavy-duty tome advice ~~ but just little inspirational tidbits to tide you through the day. And it's something that you can read over and over again ~~ especially in the bleakest hours. I highly recommend this gem to anyone who is undergoing a divorce and if you know someone who is facing that trial of the year/lifetime, please do what my friend did. Grab a bunch of little inspirational stuff (in my case, it was a memo pad with the sunflower and an inspirational quote, as well as two magnets) and this book. It will brighten up your friend's day and give her/him the extra courage to face the ending of a relationship as she/he knows it. Believe me, it will help give one courage to face the unknown future of being single again.
Another winner from Jim Smoke!
