“Divinity in Divorce”
“Divinity In Divorce - The Power in Gratitude and Love”, is my recent book title, published with International Health publishing December 2009. A personal experience of thriving through divorce in a mind-body-spirit paradigm, turning obstacle and emotion into opportunity and growth. My purpose in writing this book is not only for my own inspiration, as a daily reminder to find the Divinity in any challenge, but also to share this message with the world.
The universe apparently thrusts complimentary opposites together and calls them the full quantum of love. In an attempt to have us love more of ourselves and our world we are given a mirror. As we move through our lessons of love there is more clarity with the profound truth that we are all one in spirit. That which we can not love we will attract until we do.
The ultimate goal is to love all the parts of yourself, including the ego, the liar, the aggressor as well as the other characteristics such as compassion, caring and kindness. People you meet (particularly spouses who love you the most will appear different to you, opposites in fact.) Opposites do attract. If two people were both the same, one would be redundant. Differences draw you together for the purpose of love, the full quantum of love.
The experience of being able to see different forms and understanding that they are all parts of a loving matrix surrounding us every minute of our lives grants us the faith, trust, confidence and security in a force at work outside ourselves.
The key to divinity is within the ability to expand perceptions to a higher level of understanding.

Dena,
As you probably know I am very excited about your new book and can’t wait to buy it! You are an amazing person and I have learned so much more from you than I ever would have thought by being your patient. The world is a better place because you are in it
Congratulations, wishing you much success… Kim
Dena, I am so proud of you.
Your knowledge is endless and you are always coming up with ways to keep me pain free.
You blow my mind every time I have an appointment with you. Especially the last appointment, when I found out that you were launching a book.
To the long list of things that describe you: kind, considerate, compassionate, a friend, iron thumbs, and now we can add author.
I wish you happiness, success and all that you wish for.
Lots of Love

Dr. Churchill: thank you for the copy of your book, “Divinity in
Divorce” which I read also because of its striking title.
Forgive me, instead, for questioning the contents of the book.
Your definitions of “divinity” make it something very impersonal, a force. Among its attributes there is no mention of love, immense love.
The book is about divorce: divorce from what? There is not much about marriage, such an instinctive, inborn, desire and institution, for the good of individuals and society. It may seem that divorce is from a “whim”.
Love is described as love of every part of oneself. Love is actually outgoing, not self-centered.
There have always been “stoics”, who face tragedy without flinching: but they admit that they are tragedies. Divorce, in the book is a liberation, even though it takes effort to train oneself to be free.
There are also mystics, who face all kinds of adversities and suffering for love of an ideal or a person. They are not yet “divine”, however.
There is only one “divinity”: it is possible to come close to
identifying with divinity. That is what Christianity teaches.
Now, please forgive me for all these generalizations.
Luke
Dear Luke,
It is with humble grace that I receive your reply. Thank you!
Forgiveness is not necessary in that I see you are speaking from your heart and I truely honor that your perspective may be different from mine.
The title Divinity in Divorce - The Power of Gratitude and Love is a way to weave love into the picture.
Love in my language is self and other, for to truely love another I believe I must love me too. The extension of me is you and you me. Where one stops and another begins is an enigma for “where is God not?”
My background is Christian, brought up in a loving family, attended church and choir regularly and often spoke at the pulpit but it is my understanding that this is one perspective. There are millions of people in the world who’s spirit and God is defined differently. My purpose in this book in creating an impersonal view of Divinity is to allow an easy access to God for the world. My purpose spans beyond the confines of any one religion but finding the common thread of love and gratitude that encompasses them all.
I have written in such a way to share my experience, suggest possibilities for all to find their own blessing in any perceived tragedy. For even a tragedy may be a blessing in disguise, depending on your perspective.
Flinching with emotion is the path to belief and purpose…this is human and a necessary step in finding the love and grace.
There is only one divinity that is universal. All are divine by birthright some have not realized this yet.
“The brightest stars in the heavens are those tested in the furnace of tribulation, show me a man that has never suffered adversity and I shall show you the most unfulfilled person on earth.”
Love, Blessing and many thanks Luke for your reply,
Dr. Dena
Dr.Dena,
Your book is a gift! Thank you for sharing of yourself and your journey!
Warmly,
Sherry
Question from a potential reader: Is your Book “Divinity In Divorce” Biblically based?
Carification from the author: Which bible?
Potential reader responds: Which Bible? Any sacred book? This sounds conspicuously familiar to Genesis 3:1 when the serpent said to the woman “Has God indeed said?”
Relativism, empiricism and rationalism do not lead the mind to Truth. Only a Word from God is reliable, authentic, infallible, inerrant, sufficient, and is all that is necessary for the True basis of Love and gratitude. Do not be deceived my young author…Read His 66 Love Letters and pray for His gift of faith, so that you believe the Truth and not a man-centered interpretation of love and gratitude.
I apologize for being so bold, but the God of Scripture; your Creator deserves all the glory, all the honor and all the praise.
Meditate on this “The Word of God Alone is Truth!”
Author’s Reply:
God alone is truth. Words are man’s interpretation.
