Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Ending Marriage, Keeping Faith
J. Randall Nichols · 1991
74/100
👍 Worth It
When a book by a Princeton-trained minister and psychotherapist gets reissued decades later and still earns the description 'the one resource that gave me hope,' that's real staying power. Nichols takes the spiritual wound of divorce seriously in a way that most secular or purely religious books don't, and thousands of readers have said so across multiple print runs. If the mainline Protestant lens fits your faith, this is a genuinely useful companion for a painful season.
