DIVORCE IS NOTTHE ENDOF YOUR STORY.
You're not the only Christian who has ever walked this road. A gentle, faith-filled survival guide for the hardest season of your life, written by someone who's been there.
I Got A Divorce
A Christian's Guide to Surviving Divorce, Recovering Your Heart, and Discovering New Beginnings
When divorce shatters your world, it can feel like you're the only Christian who has ever walked this road. The shame is overwhelming. The pain is constant. And the resources that exist either preach at you or don't understand your faith.
Teresa has been exactly where you are, and so has her husband, Jeff. They couldn't find the book they needed. So she wrote it.
Three Stages Of Recovery
Survival Mode
Getting through the hardest days when you can barely breathe. Learn to give yourself permission to hurt while setting healthy boundaries, find refuge in God's Word, and discover simple practices that will help you make it through.
Recovery Mode
Learning to live again. Embrace your new reality, honor how far you've come, and do the necessary work of grieving what's been lost.
Thriving Mode
Discovering that life can be good again. Break free from shame, release what holds you back, and begin to dream about your future.
God Hates Divorce.(But He Loves You.)
If you've ever read those words and wondered whether God hates you too, this chapter is for you. Teresa doesn't soften Scripture or explain it away. She shows what it means, and what it doesn't.
“God's hatred of divorce does not mean God hates divorced people.”
Is This Book For You?
This book is for you if...
- you're a Christian facing or recovering from divorce
- you want a gentle companion, not a lecture
- you're wrestling with shame, grief, or spiritual questions

- a judgment on your choices
- someone else's drama
You don't have to feel okay yet.You just have to start.You will survive this. You will recover. And yes, you will thrive again.
Honest conversations about faith, life, and everything in between.
I'm Teresa McKelvey: wife, mother, grandmother, Christian author, and content creator. Through my writing, my YouTube channel Tea Time with Teresa, and honest conversations, I create space where women can show up as their real selves and discover that every season, even the hard ones, holds God's goodness.
“I remember sitting in my car outside the bookstore, working up the courage to go inside and look for something, anything, that would speak to my reality.”
