Synopsis:

One of the very few books that speaks knowledgeably and compassionately about both spiritual and psychological aspects of divorce, Ending Marriage, Keeping Faith is an invitation to experience even the pain and confusion of divorce as a spiritual journey rather than an absolute ending. Thousands of readers have said that this book was the one thing they read that gave them both understanding and hope in the dark hours of their divorce experience. Dr. Nichols challenges much of the conventional wisdom about divorce, both religious and psychological, building the case that divorce can be a growth pilgrimage with a fundamental spiritual direction, reassuring landmarks, companionship along the way, and finally a safe ending. J. Randall Nichols' book is one of the fruits of his own painful but re-creative divorce experience, and he has written it to provide the kind of hope, insight, and guidance he could not find elsewhere to others like himself.
