Confessions of an Adulterous Christian Woman offers a rare and honest look at the destructive descent into adultery and reveals the redeeming power of God's grace and love and His ability to restore a ruined life. Author Lyndell Hetrick Holtz was a pastor's wife, Bible study leader, and women's retreat speaker who never believed she would cheat on her husband or be capable of committing adultery. She thought her evangelical background and involvement with ministry gave her extra protection from the temptation to have an affair with another man. But, in her forties, her life began to crumble, and suddenly adultery seemed to be the solution for an unhappy life and marriage. With emotion and conviction, Lyndell reflects on the disillusionment and faulty beliefs that led to several destructive decisions. She tells about the heartache and pain she experienced when her affair was discovered and the resulting consequences, including the loss of her 25-year marriage, her beautiful home, her witness in the community, her friends, and the respect of her four adult children. It seemed as if her life was over and her relationship with Christ forever ruined.But it was here, broken and alone and sprawled in the dust of shame and defeat, where Lyndell encountered love unlike any she had ever known. With worship and humility, she shares how God lovingly embraced her shattered life and began to redeem, restore, and rebuild it in miraculous ways.In this book women of all ages are given a first-hand look at the destruction of adultery and provides them with the awareness needed to avoid assuming that Christian women are immune to falling victim to adultery's snare. This powerful story examines the devastating effects of adultery and the pain of divorce, but more importantly, reveals a God who continues to write His story of redemption, restoration, and reconciliation on the broken lives of humanity, taking us from utter despair to undying devotion to Him and the unconditional, healing love He gives.
