Reseña del libro "Cheating on God: Overcoming Marital Infidelity (en Inglés)"
Infidelity is quite popular today and negatively perceived as an acceptable norm. However, according to Scripture, it is an ungodly act of betrayal against the relationship with a spouse, children, and so many others connected to the marriage union. Most of all, infidelity is an offense to the creator of heaven and earth, our Father God. Although many marriages survive infidelity, so many more fail because this act is for many a deal-breaker that calls for a divorce.As unthinkable as the notion is of breaking such a covenant with a spouse covered by God when infidelity happens, awkward and controversial questions are raised: What happened? Should I stay? If I stay, will he or she cheat on me again? Where do we go from here? Can trust be rebuilt? In this book, we will identify spiritual strategies that attack and tear down our defenses.God teaches us to press forward and forgive others, no matter the offense. But forgiveness is easier said than done. Still, practice makes perfect. We must come to the master of forgiveness, Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Jesus experienced betrayal, but instead of holding grudges or seeking revenge, He forgave. David also cried out to God after being betrayed by someone close to his heart (Psalm 55). The power of forgiveness allows one to be grudge-free.Overall, overcoming betrayal and infidelity is not a simple process, and couples cannot heal on their own. The power to heal comes directly from God, who delivers and provides the strength to forgive. Only with the unequivocal help of God's Spirit can we love, heal, forgive, and pray for those who harm us.
