"I don't want a divorce." For many people, that sentence comes long before the papers are signed. Vaneetha Risner, author of "This Was Never the Plan: Walking with God through the Heartache of Divorce", shares her journey through an unwanted divorce, the shame that often follows in Christian circles, and the struggle to trust God when life falls apart anyway. If you're tired of pretending you're fine—or carrying pain that feels impossible to explain—Vaneetha meets you there.
