"Repentance is not verified by one emotional moment but by a pattern of new life."

From When Divorce Is Mercy, a new book by Michael Gembola and Darby Strickland. Purchase today at ccef.org/book.

About the book: Marriages are meant to last. So when a marriage is devastated by betrayal, abandonment, or abuse, painful questions follow: What does faithfulness look like now? Must I stay? Am I free to leave?

Oﬀering biblical wisdom to suﬀering spouses—and the pastors, counselors, and friends who walk beside them—Michael Gembola and Darby Strickland lay out a process of discernment for complex situations of inﬁdelity and desertion. As readers consider the teaching of Scripture, assess the impact of the oﬀenses, and look for repentance and change, Gembola and Strickland encourage them to trust God’s compassionate leading for each faithful step.

Our January 2025–May 2026 Annual Report is now available! Read it online at ccef.org/report.

"I truly believe our best years are ahead of us. I don’t say that because I undervalue CCEF’s rich history or the countless ways God has used this ministry over the decades. Rather, I say it because our confidence has never rested in our own strength. It rests in the God 'who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think' (Ephesians 3:20). Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for praying, giving, and believing in the work God is doing through CCEF. Would you continue to pray with us in the months ahead—for wisdom, faithful provision, and steadfast dependence on the Lord as we pursue the mission he has given us?"
—Jonathan Holmes, CCEF Executive Director
