Deborah Ross - Healing a Broken Marriage: Love Never Fails

Healing a Broken Marriage is a powerful testimony of one womans determination to see her husband living for Christ and her family living a fruitful and productive life in the kingdom. Despite overwhelming obstacles, Deborah Ross stayed the course, fought the fight, and her dream of a godly husband is now a living example of the saving grace of a loving God.

She ministers to the wounded and the broken-hearted. Her gifts and talents have been used by God for many years to bring encouragement to the downtrodden, a voice to the helpless, and renewed hope to the hope-less. Her writing style is direct and to the point.

I N A GENERATION of throwaway marriages, it is refreshing to come across a marriage that has been salvaged through the faithful commitment to the wedding vows made before Holy God. In Healing a Broken Marriage you will discover how the Lord used a wifes trust in Holy God to bring her husband to repentance and produce a wonderful example of a Christ-like home.

The Lord has granted me the privilege of shepherding this couple for a number of years. I watched as life took them to the brink of divorce and then witnessed our Lord honor His Blessed Word when He spiritually made new a husband because of the promise of 1 Peter 3. Today this husband serves as a warrior on the front lines with me in ministry. His love and devotion to his wife and family are unquestioned. All because a wife dared to believe God and take Him at His Word.

Dont be intimidated by the graphic descriptions of this relationship. Dont be judgmental of the writers approach. She dared, and God delivered, and now she is so bold as to share intimate details of her struggle and Gods saving with the world.

Please know and understand that the same God who brought Deborah and Jay into oneness with Him can and will do the same for you. Read this not only for the pure pleasure of seeing the victory that God brought but also with great anticipation that He can do the same for you.

Preparation for Victory

H AVE YOU EVER wondered if you married the wrong guy? When you were a little girl, did you ever dream of living happily ever after with your handsome, compassionate, and loving prince? Did you think once you became born-again, that your husband would quickly see the difference Christ has made in your life and repent, only to be let down by his indifference to the need for this great salvation? Are you the breadwinner, spiritual leader, financial advisor, wife, mother, andby farthe more responsible caregiver for the well being of your household? Is your spouse an alcoholic? Does your spouse have any addictive problems? What about pornography? Has your spouse ever been unfaithful?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions, this book was written with heartfelt wisdom, biblical knowledge, and experience just for you! In the book of Revelation (chapter 12, verse 11) we are taught that we overcome the devil by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of our testimony. It is my prayer that the Lord will use my testimony to give you hope in what may seem to be a hopeless situation. This book is not another fluffy Bible study of how to but rather a lay it on the line transparent testimony and radical challenge for you to consider in being Gods chosen woman for such a time as this (Esther 4:14)!

In this introduction, I have listed eight important action steps that need to be fulfilled in your preparation for victory. I believe these eight points are crucial in the journey of an overcomer. Read through each of these warrior attributes
