IssiePerth, AustraliaAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5A companion in pain, God centeredJune 30, 2013IssiePerth, AustraliaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Broken Heart on Hold: Surviving Separation - eBook.After my husband and I separated I went into overdrive to find what had happened, ...how did we arrive to this situation? This could not be happening to me. I read many christian books on marriage and separation. All of them were great inspiration, and I believe God used them all to point to my sins, to show me where I had failed, with clarity and love. But I must say this book, by Linda Rooks, is the book I still continue reading. The vulnerability and the honesty with which Linda shares her story, step by step from beginning to end, makes you feel you are sharing with a friend who understands. Someone who does not take the pain away or justifies your actions, but someone who points you to God, holding your hand. Not two stories are ever the same, but sin is sin regardless of its form and our Lord God is the only one that matters. I would recommend this book to absolutely anyone going through the pain of separation "...to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11.

Tina Harris5 Stars Out Of 5March 19, 2010Tina HarrisI swear this book was written just for me. I have read other books, to try to help me understand what was happening but none compared to this one. Broken Heart on Hold helped me to heal. As difficult as my situation is...I found out that there are other Christian women suffering and there is no shame and yes we are special and yes we are good Godly Christian women that could relate and hold your head up and not let the enemy destroy us, but to keep pressing on for our soul-mates NO MATTER if they walk away from the Lord or from us. Keep praying, keep praying, keep praying for them. NEVER STOP, God gave them to us so it brings HIM joy when we continue to intercede for them no matter how bad it is or gets.(believe it or not, they are in torment, the enemy has deceived them and it is up to us to intercede for them) It WILL bring Glory to the Lord and yes women, you will be rewarded. You are in His hands when you seek him for guidance and restoration. Thank you Lord!

Ruth5 Stars Out Of 5February 14, 2008RuthAfter my husband moved out I was desperate to read anything for advice and/or direction. I read everything from "forget the bum" to "do this and he'll come home". Not until I read Linda's book did I begin to get my heart and mind where they needed to be. Away from my husband and failed marriage and back to the heart of God. Linda has an amazing way of walking through the pain with you but encouraging and directing you out wallowing in it. She helps you move your eyes off the situation and onto the loving face of Jesus! I have read the book 3 times and each time it has been a blessing in a new way as my heart changes and grows through this dark time. I have and will continue to recommend and give this book to anyone who is facing separation or divorce. It may not change the out come of your separation but it will change your out look and your heart for God!

heather5 Stars Out Of 5December 3, 2009heatherThe BEST book I read while I was separated!! Instead of focusing on putting my marriage back together, Linda helped me focus on keeping myself together. I cannot say enough about how helpful this book was!!! I've read it three times already. She was able to articulate and explain feelings that I didn't even realize I was experiencing. EVERY woman who is currently enduring an unwanted divorce should read this.

Jerri Barnard5 Stars Out Of 5November 8, 2007Jerri BarnardI could not believe what I was reading!!! It was like Linda Rooks opened my heart and mind and read everything that was inside!! I could not have written a better book to describe what every woman goes through during a separation! Thank you Linda! You have given me hope and encouragement during this troubled time, and I praise God for giving you the insight and accurate words and appropriate scriptures for guiding those of us who have unfortunately followed your footsteps. May God bless you for your faithfulness! I encourage ANY woman (or even man) who is going through a separation to read this book!!You will be totally amazed!
