MAITLAND, FL— One fateful day in September, Steve Kirk experienced a life trial so painful he did not know how to cope. He found many books written about the pain of divorce, however, none were written from a male point of view. Kirk decided that he would pen Birthed Through the Fire ($20.99, paperback, 978-1-61379-091-5; $23.99, hardcover, 978-1-61379-092-2; $9.99, e-book, 978-1-61904-171-4), to help other men just like him; men who were suffering from the pain of divorce with nowhere and no one to turn toward. The author urges his readers to understand that God can and does work through painful areas and circumstances that happen in life and by becoming closer to Him and His calling, moving past the pain and hurt elevates those individuals to a better place.

“Separation and divorce leave a horrible wake of destruction in people’s lives, but God can bring about newness if they will cling to Him and His calling,” expresses the author. “In my study, I was shocked to find that many women who were leaving their husbands were saying the same thing my wife Lynn had said to me, ‘I love you, but not in the way that a wife loves a husband.’  With those words I set on my journey through the fire and into newness with God by searching Him and His ways and putting away the things of the world.”

Steve Kirk is a man who accepted Christ in 1982 and married in 1983.  He and his wife, Lynn, started with the highest expectations and somehow over the year’s discontent, disillusionment, and disconnection took place. Steve’s book gives hope during the storm of separation and divorce.
