This book is about a conversation with God and The Cries of a Divorced Pastor. I want to introduce to you perhaps another style of prayer. The Holy Spirit truly wants to talk to us and talk us through our pain, our shame, and any disappointments.

I have struggled through seasons of warfare and crisis because I could not simply bind and loose, shake, holler and scream. All I could do was talk to the Father, and allow Him to talk to me. Every subject He talked to me about was profound because I had all these conversations going on in my mind about my imperfections, condemnation, whether I could have a ministry after a divorce, guilt, shame, forgiveness; wondering about all the people that walked away because I did not articulate or explain to them my struggles, trials, secret hurts, and pain.

I wondered whether I would ever be happy or have joy.

What do you do when you determine that a scream, a holler, or a church shake won't break the grip of guilt and shame off you? Here's one man's answer in "The Cries of a Divorced Pastor" - Victor L. Powell's transparent journey through his own pain and guilt, shame and disappointment, processed through intimate conversations with God.

Public figures often appear to be public successes, while their private lives are secret failures. The secular and church worlds prescribe to an image of perfection, forcing people in positions of power to suffer in silence. Powell made personal, painful, and risky decisions accompanied by criticism, condemnation, and consequences.

You will discover that as he embraced his connection with God through conversations, his cries turned from shame to forgiveness and restoration, proof that God can talk you through it all.
