Better Than Okay
Finding Hope and Healing After Your Marriage Ends
About
Divorce is not the end of your story
Some seasons of life can seem far more difficult than one human should have to endure. For Brandi Wilson, that was the year her husband--and a megachurch pastor--walked away from her and her family. Suddenly, her church community dissolved, and her dreams and identity were shattered.
Yet God transformed this heartbreaking time into an invaluable lesson on the gift of healing.
And now, Brandi beautifully tells her courageous story of confronting grief and heartache head-on and learning how to rise from the pain. Filled with aha moments and laugh-out-loud humor, this book reminds you that your story is always evolving and that you can move forward with hope after divorce. Brandi helps you:
· rely on and find comfort in the promises of God
· begin a new journey toward healing
· find freedom in your new identity
While your life looks drastically different now, there is hope for renewed joy and redemption. Your pain doesn't get the final say. Through God's grace and healing power, you will be better than okay.
