Covenant Divorce & Putting Away Vern Peltz

Divorce is a very painful event; especially in the Christian community. It is misunderstood, and can carry a tremendous amount of stigma and shame. It often brings criticism, separates friends and family, causes the divorcees to leave their church, and typically leaves them questioning their faith and future marriage options. Yet it is a reality that people are faced with on a daily basis. We can't ignore it and expect it to go away. How do we deal with it? What does the Bible say about it? How is a believer to view and feel about it? What does God think of Divorce? Can a Divorced believer Remarry?Surprisingly the Bible has quite a lot to say about the subject. And it doesn't say what most Christians think it says. Many sincere and God Loving people have suffered needlessly because of the misunderstandings, incorrect teachings and doctrines that surround the subject. This book gives solid scriptural insight into many aspects of Divorce, including the fact that the Bible clearly shows that Divorce is not a sin as so many have been taught. Before Divorce can be understood from God's perspective, we need to understand Marriage from His perspective. It was God who designed and instituted marriage. How He views marriages, and what He considers to be a marriage -- are very important if we are going to understand Divorce and the possibility of Remarriage. In order to help us understand God's perspective, a considerable amount of the book deals with what a Covenant is, and how it pertains to marriage. These chapters are invaluable to anyone who would like to see marriage explained from the aspect of Covenant -- which is how God views marriages. This portion of the book is a tremendous asset in helping improve and fine-tune any marriage. The process of Putting Away, which results in Divorce, is detailed. Unfortunately, this aspect of the process is virtually unknown to most believers. Yet from God's perspective, it is the most important element of the entire process. If you are going to understand Divorce, you must understand Putting Away. The scriptural perspective of Remarriage is also dealt with. If you or someone you know has struggled with the pain, guilt, confusion, and uncertainty that follows most Christians who have been divorced, this book will be a tremendous help to you.
