Love isn't supposed to hurt - Christi Paul

What a powerful story.  Christi's raw emotions as she walks through one of the toughest times of her life, make you feel what she's going through.  Her journey through verbal and emotional abuse, with an alcoholic husband, has a lesson for everyone.  "Everything we experience - every loss, every torment, every numbing pain - has something to teach us."  I haven't personally been in her situation, yet I felt the book spoke directly to me many times.  God is with us.  He never leaves us.  He will bring good from the bad, blessings from the pain, and opportunity from the failures.  The last part of the book is interactive.  Christi lists many of the questions she had to work through as part of her healing.  In Christi's words, "Whatever needs to be done, God has equipped you to handle it.  This is a new day.  This is a new chance.  This is a new choice you get to make - and God's got your back through it all."
