Award-Winning Healing Resource for Betrayed Christian Spouses: "Redeeming the Post-Affair Divorce" Receives the Literary Titan Book Award
Linda J. MacDonald, M.S., Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and bestselling author, has received the Literary Titan Book Award for her powerful new release, Redeeming the Post-Affair Divorce: Heal Your Life, Restore Your Faith After Infidelity Breaks Up Your Marriage. This recognition highlights a timely and needed resource for Christian spouses navigating the devastating aftermath of infidelity and unwanted divorce.
In Redeeming the Post-Affair Divorce, MacDonald offers a faith-centered, trauma-informed guide for readers who have been left brokenhearted, ashamed, and struggling to trust God again after intimate betrayal. With compassion, clarity, and clinical expertise, she validates the pain of betrayal trauma without blaming the wounded spouse. The book speaks directly to those experiencing symptoms such as hypervigilance, nightmares, flashbacks, complex grief, and spiritual confusion, while offering a practical path toward healing, dignity, and renewed faith.
Drawing on 33 years of professional experience and her own story of redemption, MacDonald helps readers understand betrayal trauma, stop self-blame, release shame, rebuild trust in themselves and in God, and move forward without minimizing the seriousness of what they have endured. Her work is especially meaningful for Christian readers who have often felt misunderstood by well-meaning supporters, church communities, or counseling voices that unintentionally add to their burden.
Literary Titan praised the book as “a faith-forward recovery guide for people who got hit with a one-two punch. Infidelity, then an unwanted divorce.” The review commended MacDonald’s “tender and steady” voice, noting that the book “does not play cute with the pain” and “refuses to shame the reader for still feeling wrecked.” The reviewer also highlighted the book’s courageous and healing message around forgiveness, describing it as “a way to get free, not a way to fake peace or invite more harm.”
For Christian readers seeking a resource with both heart and backbone, Redeeming the Post-Affair Divorce offers more than encouragement. It offers understanding, language for the pain, and a grounded path toward restoration after one of life’s most devastating losses.
