Saving lives

Barbara Quick has managed to write an anecdotal, eminently useful book for those who are divorced or will be. She focuses on the truths of post-divorce relationships in all their complexity, while she leads the reader through them, to a happy (and realistic) outcome. As a pastor, I plan to give a copy to any couple who come to me for advice about their divorce. The book will save lives!

An Inspiration

Still Friends is a wonderful book that is both enlightening and easy to read. Author Barbara Quick deftly tells the stories of couples who discover how to allow divorce to expand their family community, rather than destroy it. We usually associate divorce with the disintegration of relationships, which inevitably hurts the children. In this book we meet couples who transform their relationships instead. I believe that by making these stories available Quick will inspire others to rise to the challenge of moving beyond the narrow confines of our cultural definition of familial success!

Wonderful message for divorced couples

I've sent out my share of wedding presents; why not make this book a "divorce present?" STILL FRIENDS charts a way for divorcing couples to travel through disappointment and anger to peace, acceptance and friendship. In this practical and entertaining book, dozens of couples share how they've moved into a comfortable and workable relationship that continues to bring benefits after love and marriage ended. Wouldn't it be wonderful if divorced couples could remain a caring family, if friends and relatives didn't have to choose sides? This book was really needed and does a wonderful job pointing the way to resolution and forgiveness.
