God, The Devil, and Divorce tells the story of a Christian woman’s marriage and divorce recovery from her “crazymaking” spouse; and how she learned to trust God along the way. How could Linda Moore Kurth’s marriage that once seemed so right become so wrong? Put-downs, shaming, and distancing grow into habitual emotional abuse. Counseling provides glimmers of hope, only for that hope to fade. She is shocked when her latest Christian counselor tells her, “If you divorce, Satan wins.” Linda receives a dichotomy of reactions from other Christians for her ultimate decision to leave her marriage. Betrayal and heartache bring her to her knees, but she clings to the belief that God loves her more than He loved her marriage. That belief sustains her as she builds a life of abundant joy. An inspirational read for Christians going through divorce and recovery.
