By Carter, Les Format: Hardcover Publisher: Jossey-Bass
"Grace and Divorce," written by noted author and psychotherapist, Dr. Les Carter, provides sound theological thinking on divorce and wise and compassionate suggestions for reframing and deepening our understanding of this difficult and controversial topic. Using stories from his practice as a therapist, Dr. Carter offers healing to both those who divorce and those who know and love them.
He explains that Jesus never intended us to be so fixed about right and wrong and so judgmental that we lose the ability to love those who do not meet His perfect standards. With kindness and love, he shows that the wonderful gift of God' s grace is the best way to respond to people facing this trying life challenge.

Once divorced, forever barred from church leadership--sometimes even from full fellowship. Isn't that what the plain sense of Scripture teaches? No, says Keener. In this compassionate and carefully documented study, hefirst explores how the early Christians would have understood the statements of Jesus and Paul on divorce and remarriage. Keener then builds a soundly scriptural view of divorce andremarriage--a view that reminds the church that all of its members are forgiven people.
"Any Christian examining the issue of divorce and remarriage should read this book." --Bibliotheca Sacra
