Lysa TerKeurst’s new book, “Surviving An Unwanted Divorce,” comes out of a season she never expected to walk through. After the end of her long marriage, she found herself starting over — sorting through hurt, sitting with questions she couldn’t rush past, and learning how God meets people in the parts of life they didn’t choose. Her latest work gathers those lessons with a steady, grounded honesty.

Rather than offering quick fixes, Lysa traces the slow movement from shock to steadiness, from grief to a quieter kind of confidence. She writes about learning to trust God with what felt unfixable and discovering that healing didn’t mean erasing the past but living differently because of it. “I had to let God reassure me in places where I felt most abandoned,” she has said. “The rebuilding didn’t happen all at once. It came one surrendered decision at a time.”

The book sits with the reality of unwanted endings while still making room for hope. Lysa reflects on boundaries, forgiveness and what it looks like to care for your soul when life doesn’t turn out the way you prayed it would. Her voice stays calm and clear, offering a companion for anyone trying to find grace on the other side of heartbreak.
