The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce
The best book on the market for studying long-term effects of divorce on children, based on a 25-year study. Gen Xers like me need to read this book for understanding and affirmation. If you are wondering what your children are dealing with and going to deal with after your divorce, this book can help you gain wisdom more valuable than gold. This is written from a secular perspective, FYI.
Transforming Your Thought Life
In today’s podcast, I mention stories from several chapters of my book. I would be honored if you read it to gain practical help in overcoming problems in your thought life. Each one of the 17 thought-life problem areas I write about in the book are linked to the trauma of being a child of divorce. I hope that you’ll find help in God’s Word like I did in all of these problem areas.
