For Christians who have suffered through the traumatic experience of a divorce, these presentations provide the components for maintaining a deep faith while working through the process of suffering and healing. These group sessions follow solid scriptural guidelines and provide discussion questions for dealing with the issues of divorce. The brief sketches can be read by members of the group and hit the very real stages of recovery head-on.

Included are:

• Restoring Hope
  
• Dealing With The Pain
  
• Finding Help
  
• Dealing With Finances
  
• Helping The Children
  
• Dealing With Your Ex
  
• Forgiveness, Grace, and Repentance
  
• New Relationships
