"As a pastor, I highly recommend putting this gospel-centered book into the hands of anyone devastated by marital unfaithfulness."

Robert K. Cheong ~ Pastor of Care and Counseling, Sojourn Community Church, Louisville, Kentucky.

"Lara Williams teaches and reminds her readers that we are not in control, but God is, and as we accept God's sovereignty and goodness, this radically changes how we view our relationship with Him, how we view ourselves, our circumstances, and how we view and relate to others."

Jane Tooher ~ Ministry Department, Director of the Priscilla and Aquila Centre, Moore Theological College, Sydney, Australia.

"Lara Williams' testimony of God's faithfulness in the midst of the darkness of her broken marriage challenges and encourages us to take God at His Word."

Diana Lynn Severance ~ a historian with broad experience teaching in universities and seminaries, Spring, Texas

"This is no mere "winning-through" story. It is about how theology changes lives. It brings big doctrines into home and marriage and the choices we make every day. Very relevant and very good thinking."
