The emotional distress, the anger…. almost everything I can relate to. I would have felt a sense of ‘I guess this is normal’ so calm down. No that it would have made it any easier, just more understandable.” “I don’t feel like I dread the annulment after reading this book; it has actually helped and given me hope. :-)” Reader Need to Know Basis-I’m always heartened when I catch wind of a new book that addresses the crisis of divorce from a Catholic perspective because there is so much need for accurate information to be dispensed. This is why I enjoyed and can wholeheartedly recommend a new book by Mary Lou Rosien, titled The Three Things Divorced Catholics Need To Know. Divorce is such a devastating experience just from a purely legal standpoint, and depending upon how long it actually takes for a court to render a civil divorce decree (which can take years in some cases), it can take a long time for someone going through it to feel as if she has her feet firmly planted on the ground again.

Lisa Duffy Author, Catholic Guide to Dating after Divorce Complete review: catholicmom.com/2017/03/21/need-know-basis-three-things-divorced-catholics-need-to-know “In her book, The Three Things Divorced Catholics Need to Know, Mary Lou Rosien clearly and succinctly names the misunderstandings and truths surrounding Catholics and divorce. She beautifully examines the Church’s teaching and provides an up-to-date commentary on the annulment process. This book is a must-read for any Catholic who has experienced a divorce.” David Dziena—Co-author of the Catholic Prayer Book for the Separated and Divorced (OSV) https://www.osv.com/Shop/Product?ProductCode=T1644 Book recommendation: 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.

The Catholic Guide to Dating after Divorce, by Lisa Duffy If you are interested in listening to a radio program in which Lisa and I were both guests, click here. ttps://www.avemariapress.com/product/1-59471-597-1/The-Catholic-Guide-to-Dating-After-Divorce/ I wish that Lisa Duffy's book, The Catholic Guide to Dating after Divorce, was available to me when I went through my divorce thirty years ago. It will now be my go-to when others ask my advice on this subject. I could identify completely with the heartache and lessons she unfolds in the first few chapters and recognize the wisdom and truth that she lays out in subsequent chapters. Lisa looks honestly at the scars divorce may leave and how to successfully grow past them into a healthy person who can face dating again. She helps the reader assess if they are ready to get back into the exciting world of new relationships. She shares her research, stories of others and her own experience in a gentle, but direct guide to dating without losing yourself in the process. Lisa Duffy carefully examines five qualities that are found in a truly attractive person. By implementing checklists and quizzes she helps the reader ask themselves if they possess these qualities and if their perspective dates have these qualities as well. In her continued mission to aid others in the process of divorce recovery, she will be presenting at the Journey of Hope Conference this August in Charleston, SC. |
