Synopsis

Now an official resource of the nationwide DivorceCare ministry, this new edition of When the Vow Breaks offers practical advice to Christians regarding the top five felt needs and issues that result from facing divorce: kids, finances, anger, depression, and loneliness. In this sensitive and thorough guide, author/attorney Joseph Warren Kniskern recounts the emotions of his own failed marriage and shares a comprehensive study on what the Bible says about marriage and divorce. More important, he shows how God continues to work in people's lives to provide hope and encouragement in the aftermath of divorce. Kniskern also provides important insights about how to seek reconciliation, secure proper marriage counseling, find a good attorney, and negotiate settlements and custody issues.

About this title

From the Author:

Help and comfort for those hurting from separation/divorce.
"When The Vow Breaks" is written from the perspective of a Christian lawyer who experienced an unwanted separation and divorce--unlike many books on divorce written by happily married counselors or theologians. It tackles the nuts and bolts issues faced in this situation beginning with how a marriage breaks down, ways to achieve reconciliation if possible, use of "tough love" principles in difficult circumstances, how to handle the legal process--beginning with hiring a lawyer, what to expect in court, and using mediation as an alternative to litigation, as well as numerous tips and suggestions for recovery after divorce.

After its initial publication in late 1993, the book was one of 5 finalists for the prestigious national "Gold Medallion Award" given by the Christian Booksellers Association. It is now in its 4th printing.

I know this book will help and comfort you, or someone you know! Already many readers have said that they were able to avoid divorce altogether by using some of the tips and suggestions in the book.

So, don't give up hope if you are facing a difficult marriage problem. God loves you and will provide you with all the help you need.

God bless--Warren Kniskern (Hebrews 12:1-3)
