Index
Correction for Broken Heart on Hold - If you have the first
edition of Broken Heart on Hold, please note that the page numbers in
the Index are two pages off and are actually two pages later than
listed. In other words, if the Index tells you that a topic will be
found on page one, it will actually be on page three. In the second
printing, the index was removed by the publisher. (Sorry.)
New Leader's
Guide for Small Group Study is now available. If you want to help others successfully
navigate through the difficult journey of separation, whether it's a physical
separation or one taking place under the same roof, consider leading a small
group using Broken Heart on Hold
for the study. This new leader's guide will guide you step-by-step in putting
together and leading a small group. The booklet also includes separate
guidelines in dealing with a women's study and a men's study and helps you
better understand how to minister to these hurting people. And, yes, many
men, as well as women, do read Broken
Heart on Hold and report to me that it has helped them tremendously. If
you are interested in starting a small group in your church or home to lend
support to separated people, you can e-mail me at linda@brokenheartonhold.com.
The cost of the booklet is $7, plus $1.50 for mailing.
