Fresh Fuel for Running the Good Race. At times we all feel as if we can’t go on. Our dreams have faded or crashed. We wake up one day and realize we’re just plodding through life. We’ve embraced life, but still we wonder what “might have been?” What happened to our hopes and plans for stronger relationships, greater career success, and lasting achievements? Why have we settled for what is instead of striving for what could be? When these conditions or other dilemmas leave you feeling trapped, you are an ideal candidate for one of life’s great surprises–a “second wind.” God wishes to give you such dramatic turnarounds in many areas of life. Just when you think you can’t go on, you can tap into the wellspring of God’s power and allow him to give your life a “jump start.” With this newly discovered energy, you can stop your plodding and once again run the race of life with a spirit of exhilaration and joyous abandon.
It’s the End of Your Marriage–Not Your Life. Few experiences bring more pain than divorce. Like the death of a loved one, divorce plunges us into grief and loneliness, heartache and depression. Perhaps worst of all, divorce makes us believe that all that is meaningful and joyful has come to an end. Do not believe it. Better Days Are Just Ahead. You already know that divorce is one of the greatest challenges you will ever face. Yet it also can trigger tremendous growth in several key areas, including your relationships, the way you see yourself, and how you live out your faith. No one is calling divorce a blessing. But it is something that you will live through and that can help to powerfully transform you into the person God has created you to be. Whether you are in the earliest stages of divorce, are newly single again, are processing an earlier divorce, or know someone whose marriage is ending, New Life After Divorce offers encouragement and hope that this new life will be a good life–and the promise that healing, strength, purpose, and joy are around the corner.
Drawing on his years of experience as a pastor, couples counselor and minister of the arts, Dr. Stevens has written an insightful book firmly grounded in counseling methodology, and biblical foundation presenting practical information for couples still growing and maturing. The vignettes are gripping, full of wisdom and biblical teaching for couples and singles seeking to understand what people need to have for a lasting and growing marital relationship. This book is enlightening and timely as a valuable resource for lay people, pastors, ministers and Christian counselors, who help couples work out their responsibilities and reconciliation. Through Stevens’ very encouraging book, we are reminded of Ephesians 4:29, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen” . Jean Wilkinson, Ph.D. Director, Department of Human Services Children’s Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School Dr. David Stevens’ writings on marital challenges and successes have testified to a divine calling which he answers with great sensitivity and responsible spirituality. One hallmark of his works is the absence of unnecessary complexity matched with the presence of assured accessibility. Dave has grown beyond his previous achievements to give us “Marriage: Catching a Second Wind” which is well launched on biblical creation principles developed with inspired imagination and pastoral caring. You won’t want to miss his treatment of inter alia, “Say It” as well as his penetrating hands on “China Cup” illustration in “You Must Move On.” The reader should find this work a touching experience as well as a welcomed blessing. Reginald G. Smith D. Min. Pastor Emeritus West Broward C.O.G.

Second Wind is the story of an unlikely athlete and an unlikely heroine: Cami Ostman, a woman edging toward midlife who decides to take on a challenge that stretches her way outside of her comfort zone. That challenge presents itself when an old friend suggests she go for a run to distract her from the grief of her recent divorce. Excited by the clarity of mind and breathing space running offers her, she keeps it up—albeit slowly—and she decides to run seven marathons on seven continents; this becomes Ostman’s vision quest, the thing she turns to during the ups and downs of a new romance and during the hard months and years of redefining herself in the aftermath of the very restrictive, religious-based marriage and life she led up until her divorce. Insightful and uplifting, Second Wind carries the reader along for the ride as Ostman runs her way out of compliance with the patriarchal rules about "being a woman” that long held her captive and into authenticity and self-love. Her adventures—and the personal revelations that accompany them—inspire readers to take chances, find truth in their lives, and learn to listen to the voice inside them that’s been there all along.
