Simply put, THE best!

I am doing both DivorceCare (www.divorcecare.org) at a local church and this book in private. I read a number of books when my divorce hit and found them all to be very helpful.

However, this workbook is exceptional. Simply put, it is THE best source of healing and closure that I have found outside the "live" DivorceCare sessions that I attend - after all, a book can't hug you and listen to you emote can it?

In the weeks that I can been unable to attend DivorceCare due to business travel this book has been my source of strength and healing during a very difficult time. It has been my lifeline!

I hope that this review has encouraged you to take some action in starting the divorce recovery process. I waited too long to begin - I sincerely hope that you are wiser than I was and begin the process now by getting and (most importantly) working through this workbook!

God bless us one and all!

The Fresh Start Divorce Recovery Workbook

Divorce devistated me. I went into deep depression. I began this workbook, and after 1 chapter, it became my lifeline. I couldn't stop working in it. It gave me hope. I thought, by the title, that it was going to help me recover my marriage. Instead, it helped recover me - as a person. I have gone back to some of the exercises 2 years later, and have noted amazing results. No longer was that bitter, distressed person (who wrote in that workbook 2 years earlier) in me. My answers were different now, my feelings were different, I had gone on. I recommend it to anyone who truly wants to recover from the devistation of divorce. Marriage is like glueing two pieces of paper together, divorce is like ripping those two pieces of paper apart. Some of the glue and paper from his sheet is stuck on you and visa-versa. This book helped me see which pieces were me, allowing me to tear the other pieces off!

Very Christian

As the other reviewers have already said, this is a good book. It is very Christian oriented, however. For instance, the "building self esteem" essay basically tells you to turn to God for self esteem, and that it is Satan that is trying to keep you down. Seriously. I also do not recommend this if you have had a lot of therapy. But that is true of most self-help books. Having said that, it is still a very good book, and helpful if you are in a lot of pain and need to think things through.






uplifting

A wonderful and useful tool to gage your recovery. It shows you're not alone in what you're going through and that divorce can happen to anyone. The exercises are wonderful and inciteful. If you're going through a divorce and you're wondering, "will this ever end" this at least gives you something tangible to gage your progress by. It also helps you find coping mechanisms to deal with feelings and thoughts.. Wonderful!

Great Book!

Doesn't matter whether you are separated or divorced, this is handy at any point in the process. Easy to read, plenty of questions for notes that you can reflect on later.
