Why the Book "Divorce & the Christian" was written

              BECAUSE OF THREE GREAT MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT DIVORCE:

   1- Divorce is often portrayed (to the offender) as the unforgivable sin. Divorce is not the unforgivable sin!

   2- Whereas, the offender often mistakes forgiveness for something he/she does now; as forgiveness that can be sought after the fact. Pre-planned forgiveness doesn't work!   3- Everybody is doing it! Even within the Christian church, divorce is becoming more acceptable, and it shouldn't be. Are today's problems any different from (or worse than) those of our forefathers? Everybody doing it is not divine permission; instead Satan uses it as passive permission for the children of divorce to do the same as their parents had inadvertently taught them to do when things go so wrong.

These three issues can be summed up in one word: Confusion—another of the many tools of the evil one. 

"Divorce & the Christian" provides bottom-line worthy discernment about marital problems. To put it briefly, God never allows us to experience anything beyond His ability (and willingness) to supply us with enough grace to endure (or cure) it.

"Divorce & the Christian" clearly points to the grace.

As early as the 1960's Dr. Plekker was a guest speaker at many churches on the subject of marriage and divorce—from God's perspective. He witnessed the growing permissiveness of divorce—still a  taboo back then. Today, divorce has increased in alarming numbers among Christians; and has soiled and permeated the thinking of many churches. Did God change His mind about divorce? Has God developed a twenty-first century adjustment to His decrees on divorce because 'everyone is doing it?" Has God's patent on 'until death do us part' expired? Many Christians answer "Yes" to all the above, and that is another reason this book was written.

"Divorce & the Christian" refocuses marriage and the question of divorce in the light of God's Holy Word—using the Holy Bible as its sole reference and authority.
