The Healing Choice: How to Move Beyond Betrayal
You Are Not Alone
In the wake of betrayed intimacy, you may feel nauseated, angry, humiliated, desperate. Why am I not enough for him? Can our marriage be saved–and do I even want to try? Will this unbearable ache ever go away?
Amid the devastation that follows a spouse’s sexual disloyalty, you need to know that you are not alone. God walks alongside you, offering comfort and a promise to transform the pain of the present into hope for the future. In addition, there is a community of women who know firsthand the agony caused by a husband’s sexual compromises and who offer the compassion, strength, and biblical wisdom you need to make healthy decisions for yourself and your family.
The Healing Choice reveals the hope-filled stories of two such women, authors Brenda Stoeker and Susan Allen, who draw on their own experiences and those of many others to offer step-by-step advice for rediscovering intimacy with God and finding the support you need to move toward genuine spiritual and emotional restoration.
Their down-to-earth insights light the path toward help and healing for every woman who longs to move beyond the pain of broken trust and experience God’s promise of hope.

The first half of the book is written by Brenda, and it details how she chose healing and faith in the midst of unexpected tragedy. She connects this to a woman’s journey through her husband’s infidelity, but the counsel she offers would apply to all sorts of faith-shaking situations. It is life-giving and easy to read.
The second half of the book is written by Susan, and it is not so helpful. Unlike Brenda’s easy-to-follow personal story and plan of action, Susan’s portion is more like an extended advertisement to buy a different book. Some portions of Susan’s personal story comforted me, but if I could go back, I would probably skip the second half of this book and read her guidebook instead.

A bit puritanical but the message is good. I think whether you are Christian or not, you can get some very good information here.

A workbook/book combination that really helps get through the nitty gritty of betrayal and start to lay the foundation to move forward. Very well done, very helpful information for a difficult subject.
