judge and file for a divorce. But Desi wants out no matter how much
her heart says to forgive Michael. That isn’t easier said than
done. She sees God’s one acceptable reason for a divorce as the
only opt-out clause in her marriage. Michael Bishop is a repenting
man who loves his wife of three years. If only…he had paid
attention to the red flags God sent to keep him from falling into
the devil’s snares. But Michael didn’t and he had fallen. Although
God had forgiven him instantly when he repented, Desi’s forgiveness
is moving as a snail’s pace. In the end, after all the tears have
been shed and forgiveness granted and received, the couple learns
that some marriages are worth keeping.
