You never thought divorce would happen to you. But it did. You may feel traumatized, relieved, hopeful, afraid, or all of the above. What choices will help you heal? How can you minimize the trauma for your kids? When is too soon to date…and what about sex? How can you learn from your mistakes instead of repeating them? And where is God in all of this? Michelle and Connie have been where you are. They’re Christian women who are a little ahead of you on the journey. Michelle was divorced seven years and now is happily remarried. Connie is ten years into the journey and at peace with being single. They’ve each made good choices and their fair share of mistakes. In this book they rally their collective experience to help you navigate some of the twists and turns of the post-divorce journey, avoid pitfalls, and emerge stronger and more confident. This is not one of those authoritative, “do as we say” tomes. It’s a woman-to-woman, been-there-done-that, faithful, and hopeful approach to such topics as acceptance, forgiveness, loneliness, online dating (or “CON-line dating”), sex, money, respect, finding friends, and caring for your physical, financial, and spiritual health. Most of all, it’s a powerful reassurance that no matter what has happened or what may happen next, God still has good plans for you. You will live and laugh and love again. This book can help you do it.

What happens after an abortion? When you can't go back and change the past, is there forgiveness or spiritual recovery? God still has a plan for you. There is always forgiveness and freedom when you turn to Jesus, this world's only redeemer. This minibook includes the story of Marcie Schneider, a woman who hid the dark secret of an abortion, a pain she had to endure alone. Let Marcie's counseling bring healing to you as she shares her story of redemption. This minibook will help you discover how to forgive yourself. After Marcie was pressured into having sex with someone at a party at fifteen years old, her first abortion was monumental in the steps she took thereafter. Feeling weak and invaluable, Marcie continued to seek happiness in the temporary satisfactions of this world. Though Marcie knew that there was more in this world for her than the anger she felt, she didn't realize how close she was to feeling complete freedom in Christ's mercy. Abortion to Mercy includes a Bible study by Paige Henderson that highlights the mercy that Christ has on us, despite sins we've committed. We don't always understand his love and forgiveness for us, which makes it hard for us to love and forgive others. Paige shows you verses from the Bible that will give you wisdom and hope for God's plan for your life. Abortion to Mercy will bring you hope and wholeness. It will speak to your heart and will strengthen your faith. It includes questions and Scripture passages — along with space to journal.
