The US Review of Books commended Dr. Alix Pierre’s book, “Should Divorced Christians Remarry?” for being a “brief but fact-laden treatise is thought-provoking”
Barbara Bambgerger Scott from the US Review of Books commended Dr. Alix Pierre’s book, “Should Divorced Christians Remarry?”, saying that “Pierre acknowledges that marriage can be burdensome, including abuse and emotional distancing, invoking the perceived need for separation and divorce. In exploring the question posed by his book’s title, he sensibly posits that divorced and remarried people “are not cursed,” and remarriage, like other human actions, is a personal choice, stressing that what matters above all is one’s Christian faith.”
In his role as pastor, author, and legal expert in this thoughtful narrative, Pierre discusses topics related to marriage, divorce, and remarriage. Every aspect of modern life is “pressuring” people: social, moral, political, and religious. Some Christians are unsure about these aspects of life because of the drastic changes in marriage and its expectations and results in recent decades.
Pierre uses passages from the Bible to show that God intended for a man and a woman to get married, have children, and multiply. To raise children, a marriage should be a loving, lifelong commitment. But it can also be triggered by things like the fear of living alone, the agony of growing old alone, the need for financial assistance, the necessity to raise a kid who would have otherwise been born out of wedlock, the need for sexual pleasure, and societal or religious constraints.
“Should Divorced Christians Remarry?” uncovers numerous insights and truths that everyone, whether or not they identify as Christians, must study in order to profit from understanding the various struggles they encounter and how to live better in order to become the great people God intends them to be. People will comprehend marriage, types of marriage, divorce, and reasons for divorce better. Church leaders don’t really care about marriage and divorce because so many people are victims and are being rejected, but should divorced Christians remarry? Explore it.

Here’s an excerpt from the US Review of Books that highlights:
“Pierre’s brief but fact-laden treatise is thought-provoking and designed to help his fellow Christians put certain stereotypes to rest and open minds and hearts to a forgiving, understanding attitude regarding divorce and remarriage. His subject is highly relatable, as these are common human situations and ones he often confronts in his role as a law expert, pastor, and founder of the Universal Theological Seminary. Pierre takes the stance not of an advisor but as someone examining the issues rationally. By so doing, he reaches sound conclusions based solidly on biblical truth. His work should be accessed by Christians and those not of that persuasion purely for its thoughtful, wide-ranging definition and detail.”
