Product Description
Could the end of your marriage be the first step toward reclaiming your personal power and joyfully living the life of your dreams? If the answer is yes, this book is for you.
Divorce rocks the very foundation of our beings, leaving us feeling lonely, flawed, enraged, undesirable, hopeless, and empty. In Spiritual Divorce, New York Times bestselling author Debbie Ford reveals how this devastation can be transformed into a profoundly enlightening experience. This empowering guide shows how the collapse of a marriage is, at root, a spiritual wake-up call, an opportunity to liberate ourselves and reclaim our lives. The end of a relationship—no matter who ends it—is a damaging moment. Ford offers a clear program for turning ruin into renewal.
Amazon.com Review
Whether you are the one who leaves or the one who is left, divorce is a painful, wrenching experience, explains author Debbie Ford. Since Ford is comfortable dwelling in the shadow side of life, it’s not surprising that she believes that the excruciating pain of divorce can lead to enormous spiritual growth. “Emotional turmoil can be a powerful catalyst to reconnect us with our divine nature,” she writes. “It propels us into a journey of self discovery and urges us to learn how to love and accept our entire being.” Herein lies the promise of a “spiritual divorce.”
Because Ford is a highly effective workshop leader, she has a knack for breaking down spiritual matters into manageable bites. She is also willing to share the truth of her own painful divorce, allowing readers to see her initial pain and consuming resentments. Ford divides her book into seven laws, beginning with the “The Law of Acceptance,” where readers are asked to imagine a benevolent divine order at play rather than taking a blaming stance. In the section titled “The Law of Responsibility,” Ford encourages readers to gently begin the process of taking responsibility for their own darkest qualities. This is the thrust of Ford’s highly respected shadow work–illuminating the dark side so we can stand in divine light. Each section ends with “Healing Action Steps,” where Ford suggests specific exercises or meditations. For example, in the final chapter Ford asks readers to make a new “divorce vow” that is a lifelong commitment to one’s highest self. –Gail Hudson

If you like gushy mushy gab about relationships, love, and forgiveness, all told in parables and ancedotes, you’ll love this book. The slant is from the issue of divorce but it is like thousands of other self-help books out there. If you want practical, analytical help don’t buy this book.

I love to read, and I read very well, but this book is difficult to follow. It is wordy, contains one analogy after another and quotes from various people, all of which confuse the point the author was trying to make. I started reading it thoroughly, then began skimming, then reading the first sentence or two of paragraphs that weren’t describing the author’s divorce, then I finally quit, and threw it away. I hate to throw away a book, but this one is blather.

This is a great book for someone who has never been aware of their spiritual nature through out a divorce. I found it redundant and a bit boring a slow read. I read alot of Deepak Chopra books. i got the impression she was trying to mimic his style – not possible. I then learned that she was a student of his. It may resonate with you I hope that it does. Best of luck to you in your transition to a good life.

Debbie Ford’s book is fabulous. I bought it for a friend but found myself reading it. I found it interesting even for people who are having trouble in their relationship not just those getting divorced.
It has wonderful exercises, and some practical tips to help people expand what they think is the end of the lives, when it could be just the beginning!
