Synopsis
There Is a Path Forward--and You Don't Have to Walk It Alone or in Shame
Despite the high rate of divorce among Christians, women who go through it often find the church silent, judgmental, or simply unprepared to help. Whether your marriage is failing and you don't know what to do, you're in the middle of a separation, or you're already in the aftermath trying to find your footing, this book was written for you.
Alisha Roth grew up in an evangelical home, graduated from a Christian college, spent three years training to be a missionary, and gave birth to four daughters. Divorce was the last thing she expected for her life. In 2020, she signed the papers anyway--and came out the other side convinced that God's heart toward women in abusive, neglectful, or unhealthy marriages is not condemnation, but compassion.
In Courageous Divorce, Alisha walks alongside you through every phase of the journey:
● Making the decision to leave--finding clarity, courage, and the spiritual permission many Christian women have never been given
● Navigating the aftermath--the disorientation, grief, practical upheaval, and the question of what your faith means now
● Rebuilding a beautiful, abundant life--discovering that divorce is not the end of your story, your faith, or your future
Grounded in Scripture and shaped by hard-won personal experience, Courageous Divorce gives Christian women something that has been in desperately short supply: comfort that they are not alone, honest biblical engagement with the spiritual questions divorce raises, and--perhaps most importantly--permission. Permission to have this conversation. Permission to choose safety, dignity, and wholeness. Permission to believe that God has not abandoned them and that an abundant life is still ahead.
This is an invaluable resource for pastors and women's ministry leaders to keep on hand--and a meaningful gift for any woman in your life who is navigating the pain and uncertainty of divorce.
We were made to thrive. Divorce is not the end of your life--it can be the beginning of a more honest, more grounded, and more vibrant one. Let Courageous Divorce walk with you toward it.
