The Beauty of Staying Together (Former Title: DETOUR
Calvina, the young battered wife of Duane, is in desperate need of a new start in life. Will her jealous husband, the mad man with whom she had been unequally yoked, prove too much to ever hope for a chance of staying together--a chance to fix her troubled marriage?
We encourage you to read the two main character profiles before reading the first chapter. We can be so wrong in the strong initial opinions we form of people, which we see in The Beauty Of Staying Together (originally published under the title: Detour), a story based on true events.

The Devil Goes About Like a Roaring Lion
Christian parents and guardians, youth pastors, and many Christian leaders preach that Satan has launched war against the youth of the world. They teach that the devil goes about like a roaring lion seeking to shorten and utterly devour young lives as he uses them in his diabolical kingdom while they are strong and vibrant. Christians point out that the widespread use of drugs, violent video games, peer pressure, dying economies around the world, and so many other temptations are tools of the enemy who is the devil who goes about like a roaring lion to devour young people.
It is absolute truth that Satan is the roaring lion who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy (St. John 10:10). Nevertheless, it's important to understand that neither the youth of the world nor any other particular group of people head his list of souls to try to devour--unless that group would be faithful servants of Christ of any age. Who exactly are the people who are the targets of the roaring lion? The scripture of 1 Peter 5:8 is one of many biblical passages that answers this question very clearly. It says, "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking WHOM he may devour."
Whom does the roaring lion seek to devour? The biblical answer is: WHOMEVER he can. Scripture does not state any specific group of people as the target of the adversary who wants to devour the unborn, babies, children, teens, adults, and the elderly. A minister of God may be called to work with a specific group of people. However, never should he or she attempt to place more importance on one group over others when it comes to salvation. Adults need to be saved to teach children about God, and children have won their parents and guardians to Christ. Teens have won younger siblings, parents and even grandparents to the Lord who is, "...not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). God's word affirms that the roaring lion seeks to destroy EVERYONE. This is the meaining of "Seeking WHOM he may devour."
