It's His Show: Finding Grace in the Wake of Infidelity

by Colleen McKain, Chris McKain

Overview

It’s His Show is about a difficult and obviously serious subject: marital infidelity and patterns of the heart that lead to vulnerability and breakdown. But, it’s about so much more.

One extraordinary couple shares the story of their transformed hearts through the most devastating, yet incredible, season in their lives. No matter the details of your circumstances, God offers hope and healing. When the world screams in your ear to give up, when your human judgment says to throw in the towel, when it doesn’t make sense to press on, remember this: God can do what man says can't be done.

The authors talk with brutal honesty and wry humor about the failure of Christian marriages in America. What happened when infidelity entered their marriage was a common story that plays out in home after home, every day, regardless of a couple’s faith. When things get hard, you cut your losses and start over, right? Yet, their story begins where most such tragedies end.

Written from Colleen s perspective with revealing insights from Chris, IT’S HIS SHOW chronicles with painful honesty and wry humor the path that led the McKains to the darkest period of their lives, and the amazing and majestic power of God that brought them through it--together.

This is not a tell-all book. Nor is it just a cautionary tale, a feel-good story, a counseling process, nor an easy read. This is tough stuff, a captivating and intense read, intertwined with a powerful message of hope. Regardless of where you are in your marriage, IT S HIS SHOW may just reveal to you some truths about your own foundation, or point you in the direction of health, of restoration, of the fullness and richness everyone hopes for in their relationship, not just with each other, but with God Himself. A mesmerizing read.

Editorial Reviews

I was so encouraged by Chris and Colleen McKain s book! You will be too. What a great story of transformation in both their lives and their marriage! We pray that those who read It s His Show will be transformed as well, and that their story will be replicated in the lives of many others. --Pastor Dave Stone

You will be encouraged greatly by reading this story of God s miraculous restoration of Chris and Colleen s marriage, all to God s glory. Indeed, my prayer would be, May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope (Romans 15:13). Remember, nothing is impossible for our Lord! --Camilla Seabolt

Relationships are filled with moments of joy and blessing, as well as moments of challenge and even pain. Too often when faced with the challenges and pain we tend to dissolve the relationship and try to move on. In It's His Show, Chris and Colleen have shown us a better way. God is always working toward reconciliation and restoration, and in this book we see that it is not only possible, it is better. --Rev. Scott E. Wilson

...beautifully and well thought out... This book definitely lays out a path that others can follow to do the necessary work. Vicki Hartlage
