Divorce Poison: Protecting the Parent-Child Bond from a Vindictive Ex 59 reviews
Richard A. Warshak
Harper Paperbacks, 2003
Superbly written, informative and very useful
I've read many books in this area, but none as well written, authorative and useful as this one - it should be compulsorary reading for all parents, whether together or separated. The Take Action sections have practical steps that will really help you in your bewilderment and feelings of helplessness and remember that virtually all children benefit from the involvement of both of their parents, ...

The Great Divorce217 reviews
C. S. Lewis
HarperOne, 2001
Outstanding book.
CS Lewis great theologian or great Christian apologist as some would say was one heck of a writer.
The Great Divorce C.S Lewis good as a stand alone story or as a more deeper spiritual book. I continue to be blown away by how good C.S Lewis is one of those authors where sometimes you get the strangest sensation that he is actually speaking directly to you.
The Great Divorce serves to ...

Helping Your Kids Cope with Divorce the Sandcastles Way23 reviews
M. Gary Neuman
Random House, 1999
Simply Awesome
Super Book. When I met my wife, she already had a 3yr old daughter. That was 6 years ago. The book really helped me understand what my new step-daughter was coping with, even at 3/4/5 yrs old, etc. More importantly, I learned how I could be a positive support to her emotional transition and the stress placed on her. Today, I am simply "dad" and she is simply my "daughter" ... I couldn't be ...

What a great book
I am a nanny working for divorced family. I found the 8-year old reading the book, I was interested so I read the whole book and I was so impressed I got it for my kids too. Not that I am planing on divorce but the kids have so many friends coming from divorced families and this could help them understand situation they are going through. I think the book explains very sensitively whole process ...

Candlewick, 2003
Excellent - very, very relevant
The child who read this kept saying - 'that's like me' as he realised just how much he had in common with the character - an excellent book, gentle, lyrical, clear and straightforward - comes highly recommended.

John Ventura, Mary Reed
For Dummies, 2005
thorough, reliable
Divorce for Dummies is a thorough overview of the divorce process and ways to make it easier and less expensive. I know the authors from interviewing them for my Internet radio show, [...] and other articles, and I know they are very careful in the resources and information they present. I also believe they really do have the consumer's best interest at heart.
As a consumer educator myself, ...

Divorce & Money: How to Make the Best Financial Decisions During Divorce9 reviews
Violet Woodhouse, Dale Fetherling
NOLO, 2006
The best book available
Recently saw another book with this same title at the bookstore, so I picked up both. Of the two, the Nolo book was so much more helpful -- it assumes you want to handle most of the details yourself, and avoid lawyers, whereas the other kept talking about how to choose a lawyer (an expensive, time-wasting lawyer).

McGraw-Hill, 2004
A book that helps organize for life
My husband of 36 years asked for a divorce after informing me of a 3-week affair with a woman 4 years older who'd already had quadruple bypass surgery. Go figure! Shock doesn't come close to describing my state.
However, I was not so shocked that common sense didn't kick in -- two days later I ordered several books on Divorce, including Ms. Sember's: I needed to protect what I could for MY ...

Robert Emery
Plume, 2006
Great
I would recommend this book for anyone that is even thinking of getting a separation or divorce. Some of it seems like common sense, but when you are going through the trials of a divorce or separation, common sense can go out the window.

Rebuilding: When Your Relationship Ends, 3rd Edition (Rebuilding Books; For Divorce and Beyond)85 reviews
Bruce Fisher
Impact Publishers, 2005
Excellent therapy
This book was recommended by a professional I'm seeing for grief counseling following my divorce. It has reiterated many of the ideas we've discussed in my counseling sessions and has amazed me that at times it seems the author was "reading my mind". I highly recommend it for anyone whose love relationship has ended. It's easy to read; each chapter is unique but tied to the others, and seems to ...

Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage in the Bible20 reviews
Jay E. Adams
Zondervan, 1986
Biblically the best answers
You already respect Jay Adams. This little book should be a brief but required course of study for any Bible-believing church leader or pastor. Too much damage is being caused in Christ's church by well-meaning but misinformed leaders. Read, study and even repent where necessary. Go after those branded second-class Christians who have been turned off and shelved. Reflect the Glory of a just ...

I spotted this book in the library and picked it up. As I began to read, I felt as if the authors knew my own 8-year-old daughter. I was very impressed. So many of the topics covered hit very close to home. It was very reassuring to read.
