Before You Say "I Don't"

This hard-hitting booklet is designed to persuade individuals who are intent on pursuing divorce (on other than biblical grounds) to reconsider their plans. The first portion focuses on the likely consequences of such an action. The second refutes nine of the most common justifications for divorce. There is also an entire section (appendix) that addresses the issue of being "in love" with someone other than one's spouse.

"Lou Priolo's direct but fair counsel contained within these pages is much needed for so many professing believers today. Biblical, practical, straightforward and timely are the main points of impact that these brief booklets will have on those who read them. If you're looking for a relevant word for your difficult path, read hopefully and receive much needed direction. After you've read, by placing these booklets into the hands of a hurting friend, you may also be giving that person just the thing he or she desperately needs in order to receive a ready word for a difficult situation." --Lance Quinn, president, Association of Certified Biblical Counselors
