Is There Life after Divorce in the Church?

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Richard L. Morgan has produced a welcome resource for those of us who have been divorced and felt we were beyond the pale of the Christian community. It is true that Jesus speaks against divorce, but it is also true that some New Testament scholars believe he was speaking to protect the rights of the oppressed under ancient law -- the oppressed being women. On the other hand, divorce is a painful experience that impacts over half of those who married. It cannot be ignored by religious leaders (some of whom themselves may be divorced). If we believe in acknowledging sin without casting the sinner out, we need to find ways of healing in churches. I always reminded myself in giving sermons that if national statistics were right, half of my listeners had been impacted by divorce.”

The Dwelling Place of Wonder

History & Biography

“As I was reading The Dwelling Place of Wonder, I knew it needed to be shared with a wider audience. The themes are profoundly spiritual, illustrated by the stories of his life, but applicable to anyone on a spiritual journey. It is the kind of book one can digest in small doses to reflect on one's own life. I read it in a few sittings, but know it can also be used as daily devotional book.”

The Love of God and The Age to Come

Theology

“Ronald Vaughn's new book opens up a much-needed discussion about what universalism means theologically in times in which increasing numbers of persons are curious about the topic. As someone who has written about the rise of universalist theology and its denominational history in America, I am glad to encourage others to read this book.”
