Torn Asunder : Children The Myth Of The Good Divorce And The Recovery Of Or
$33.95
A timely unsettling of old “settled” questions surrounding divorce Amid the current nationwide debate over what “marriage” is, this book examines anew the nature and meaning of marriage from the standpoint of what adult children of divorce have actually experienced. Upholding the inextricable link between our personal identity and our origin in a union of two – and, more deeply, in the Fatherhood of God – the contributors to this volume reflect on the damage that divorce does to children, opening up important questions for all of us: What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to love and to marry? After decades of talk about the rights of adults to get a divorce and the benefits for children of an amicable split between parents (a so-called “good divorce”), these authors – theologians, philosophers, political scientists, lawyers, psychologists, sociologists, and cultural critics – effectively unsettle conventional opinion.

Great Divorce
$15.95Add to cartC.S. Lewis takes us on a profound journey through both heaven and hell in this engaging allegorical tale. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis introduces us to supernatural beings who will change the way we think about good and evil. In The Great Divorce C.S. Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The writer, in a dream, finds himself in a bus which travels between Hell and Heaven. This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil which takes issue with William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
