to The Barna Group. But sadly, divorce rates among born again
Christians are virtually indistinguishable from non-believers with
about 1 in 3 going through a split. While most marriage books are
designed to help marriages improve, Marriage Triage: A Guide to
Healing for the Hurting Spouse (Ambassador International; June 2012;
$12.99, paperback) is geared towards spiritual survival for couples in
crisis.
> Marriage Triage includes a "quick start guide" for the hurting
> spouse that reminds them of God's grace, encourages them to document
> their feelings and explains how to endure through the crisis. Geared
> towards either the offender or the offended spouse, author Steve
> Goode draws from his 11 years in law enforcement and time as a
> marriage and counseling pastor. "This book will provide a simple,
> but systematic way for a husband or wife to walk through their
> suffering, and honor Christ in the process," explains Goode. "This
> is the book that they must first read in order to stop the
> temptation to react irresponsibly and un-Biblically in their
> circumstances."
