However, I wonder about the motives of the author for writing this book. The initial part of the book is dedicated to events leading up to the discovery of his infidelity but a large section of the latter part of the book describes the aftermath including naming and shaming many Christian leaders and others involved in the "clean-up." I don't think putting this information in the public domain was especially wise on the part of the author as it will no doubt be read by non-Christian's and enhance their view that Christian's are divided and cruel to each other. That said, if this couple were treated in the way that is suggested in the book, maybe some lessons should be learned for the future.
