Here Debbie Ford, author of the very popular books The Dark Side of the Light Chasers and The Secret of the Shadow, offers an empowering guide that shows how the collapse of a marriage is, at root, a spiritual wake-up call—an opportunity to liberate ourselves and reclaim our lives. Divorce rocks the very foundations of our beings, leaving us feeling lonely, flawed, enraged, undesirable, hopeless, and empty. Ford offers a clear program for turning ruin into renewal. This healing guide should be in the waiting room of every family law practitioner.

Debbie Ford weaves life-changing tools and exercises with her own powerful story of divorce as well as the poignant experiences of many men and women to illustrate her “seven spiritual laws of divorce”:

ª  Acceptance: “Everything is as it should be.”

ª  Surrender: “When we stop resisting and surrender to the situation exactly as it is, things begin to change.”

ª  Divine guidance: “God will do for you what you cannot do for yourself.”

ª  Responsibility: “With divine guidance, we can look at exactly how we participated in and co-created our divorce drama.”

ª  Choice: “Having taken responsibility, we can choose new interpretations to empower us.”

ª  Forgiveness: “After we have cut the karmic cord, we will be able to ask God to forgive us.”

ª  Creation: “Experiencing the freedom of forgiveness opens up the gates to new realities.”

Understanding and practicing these laws will help you allay fears, dissolve your pain, and comprehend the deeper meaning of events in your life.

“Spiritual Divorce... sets forth how we can create and experience the changing of adult relationships in a way that does not have to produce anger, resentment, and impossibilities in parenting and maintaining meaningful father-child or mother-child relationships. I hope that everyone with a need to look more deeply into this area will read it.”—Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God
