The Healing Choice: How to Move Beyond Betrayal
“A rare, close-up view of the healing journey. Brenda’s and Susan’s parallel journeys–of wrestling with God and of finding support in the community of women–speak of hope in the midst of brokenness, acceptance in the face of unbelievable pain. Rather than allowing the devastation to crush their lives, these bold women chose to place their broken hearts and unmet dreams in God's holy hands. With amazing vulnerability, they show how wives can restore their fractured hearts, recover shattered marriages, and find help and healing regardless of their husband's choices."–Barbara Rosberg, co-host of the nationally-syndicated radio showDr. Gary and Barb, Your Marriage Coachesand co-author ofSix Secrets to a Lasting Love“What an empowering, freeing book! InThe Healing Choice, Brenda and Susan open their lives and share how our choice to be whole is not dependent on the actions or choices of our husbands. Healing can begin now! Your life is not on hold until your husband is free. Freedom is yours regardless of where your husband is in his journey. Brenda and Susan, thanks for reaching beyond your pain to pour life into others.”–Lisa Bevere,speaker, cofounder of Messenger International, and author ofFight Like a GirlandKissed the Girls and Made Them Cry“This book hits very close to home. Fred’s and Clay’s struggle with lust and pornography are very similar to mine. And just like Susan, my wife came to the realization that to heal from such a deception can only come from a deeper walk and intimacy with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Brenda reminds all of us that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, and no matter what horrible circumstances we may end up facing, whether it be a drawn out tragic death of a dear loved one or a husband who has broken his marriage vows time and time again, Christ ultimately provides our hope of survival. Thank you, Brenda and Susan, for sharing your hearts with us so that we can see how the power of God truly transforms people here on earth.” –Michael O’Brien, singer/songwriter/musician and former lead singer of Newsong“Although it can certainly feel like an overwhelming challenge, complete forgiveness and healingisn’tan unattainable goal. Let Brenda’s and Susan’s insightful book walk you through the restoration process step-by-step. It’s a journey you’ll be forever glad you made.”–Shannon Ethridge, M.A., best-selling author of the Every Woman’s Battle series andCompletely His: Loving Jesus Without Limits“The Stoekers and Allens continue to provide a message of wholeness to all who have been fortunate enough to experience their writings. Their contributions to the Body of Christ have been and continue to be immeasurable.”–Mark Gungor, author ofLaugh Your Way to a Better Marriage“If a spouse has tragically betrayed you thenThe Healing Choiceis one of the most important books you will ever pick up. What you will discover is that the authors, Brenda and Susan, will sensitively come alongside one of the darkest times of your life and then guide you through what can be a powerfully redeeming journey. Their wisdom comes not only out of their own pain, but from the grace that helped them and those they’ve supported to embrace restoration and hope.”–Randy Phillips, D.D., former President of Promise Keepers, President of Passage
