Book Review: Catholic Prayer Book for Separated and Divorced

A Prayer Book for Divorced Catholics that Meets Them Exactly Where They Are

When I went through my divorce I also experienced many emotions. At times they were conflicting and other times compounding my grief. The Catholic Prayer Book for the Separated and Divorced, by Woodene Koenig-Bricker and David Dziena meets the reader where they are with sensitivity, clarity, compassion and Catholic teaching. The unique beauty of this book is that the prayers are categorized by subject. The reader can easily search for an appropriate prayer based on their current need. A combination of inspirational quotes, scripture passages, formal Catholic prayers and conversational prayers are used to guide the reader through ups, downs and help them avoid the possible pitfalls that separation and divorce can lead us to. I would recommend this book to any Catholic struggling with separation or divorce.
