The Rev’d Graeme Davidson knows what he is talking about: he has been through divorce himself. Out of this experience he has written this book to help others with concerns about their marriages. I have a cassette of Don Francisco songs and in the introduction to one of them he says ‘divorced people are among the most hurting, desperate people on the face of the earth and they need our love not condemnation,’ that phrase has stuck in my mind for years and I welcomed this book as tackling this situation head on. Graeme Davidson knows from experience that marriages break down irrevocably, and he sets out ways to consider your position before you take that final step. Christian marriages do fail but by following this guidance you may decide to stay together, or if separation is the only course for one or both of you, then the author suggests how to do so peaceably and with the least damage to each partner. There is help and guidance for all situations. This book is worthwhile reading for individuals and couples and essential reading for counsellors lay or clerical.
