Long Description

Does the Bible have answers for the heart-wrenching problems of divorce and remarriage?
Yes. Absolutely.
One out of every two marriages in the United States now ends in divorce. Almost half of the children born today will be living in a broken home before they reach the age of eighteen. Forty million Americans have been married more than once, and the number keep increasing. This trend has now touched every sector of our society - including the Church.
Most pastors and theologians have been caught off guard. And as a result, they have resorted to extremism - liberal permissiveness on the one hand, austere legalism on the other. They have been unable to genuinely help those caught in the traumas of divorce and remarriage. They don't have answers.
But the Bible does.
In this volume of the groundbreaking Biblical Blueprints Series, Rev. Ray Sutton outlines those answers specifically. He avoids the extremes by providing clear, balanced instruction from Scripture.
The Bible tells us what to do - when, where, how, and why. It provides us with a "blueprint" for faithfulness in the midst of divorce and remarriage. Second Chance lays out that "blueprint" simply, practically, an understandably. It offers hope and help for the hurting.

Catalog Description

Why another book on divorce? Pastor Ray Sutton contends that most books dealing with divorce and remarriage leave the reader confused because they don't approach the subject of divorce in terms of the covenant. Why is this important? Because marriage is a covenant. Until we apply the principles of the covenant we cannot understand divorce. Sutton skillfully applies the five basic principles of the covenant to divorce and remarriage and develops a practical and hopeful message for the divorced. Does that mean that every divorce and remarriage is permissible? Sutton says no -but every situation is redeemable.
