"God Is My Witness: Making a Case for Biblical Divorce" is a unique exposé on the subject of Christian divorce. Author and abuse survivor Cindy Burrell takes the reader far beyond the traditional church script, tearing down the walls of legalism to lead the reader back to the heart of God. Does God really hate divorce? Is divorce always a sin?Are adultery and abandonment the only biblical justifications for divorce? Are divorcees who remarry committing adultery? In answering these questions - and others - the reader will be brought face to face with the legalism that pervades the contemporary church contrasted against the relational and intercessory nature of God. What will emerge is a clearer, more consistent image of God as well as His design for marriage and the biblical justification for divorce. "Those who live by the Spirit are not under the law." Galatians 5:18

This work began - as with all such works - with a question. What about divorce?
