Description
Inspired by true events, Indivisible is a story of love, service, and finding each other all over again.
Darren and Heather Turner share a passion for serving God, family, and country. When Darren is deployed to Iraq as an army chaplain, Heather vows to serve military families back home as she cares for the couple’s three young children.
Darren knows he’s overseas to support the troops in their suffering as their chaplain. What he doesn’t know is how he will get through his own dark moments. And as communication from Darren dwindles, Heather wonders what is happening in her husband’s heart. Meanwhile, she’s growing weary in the day-to-day life of a military base—each child’s milestone Darren will never see, each month waiting for orders, each late-night knock on the door.
When Darren returns, he is no longer the husband Heather once knew. She is no longer the woman Darren wed. And so it’s at home that the Turners face their biggest battle: to save their marriage.
Based on the screen play by David Evans, Indivisible is a tribute to the beauty of serving our country, the courage of choosing love in the darkness, and the power of a God who never gives up hope.

MOVIE IN THEATERS OCT. 26
INDIVISIBLE is based on the extraordinary true story of Army Chaplain Darren Turner and his wife Heather. With a strong, faith-filled marriage, the Turners are ready to follow their calling: serving God, family, and country.
Fresh from seminary and basic training, Chaplain Turner and his family arrive at Fort Stewart. Yet before the Turners can even unpack their new house, Darren is deployed to Iraq. Heather is left taking care of their three young children alone … as well as serving the families of the other deployed soldiers.
Despite a desire to stay connected with their loved ones, the harsh realities of war take a daily toll over the course of the Battalion’s extended deployment. Meanwhile back home, babies are born, kids keep growing, and nerves are frayed with every late-night knock on the door.
With deeply etched battle scars, the soldiers’ long-awaited homecoming is much different than any of their families anticipated. Carrying burdens the other can’t comprehend, the Turners must decide if they’re willing to face one more battle: the fight to save their marriage.
From the director of The Grace Card and the studio that brought you Fireproof and War Room comes INDIVISIBLE, the story of one marriage … one family … under God. In theaters beginning October 26, the movie stars Sarah Drew, Justin Bruening, Jason George, Tia Mowry, and Madeline Carroll.

INDIVISIBLE by TRAVIS THRASHER is the story of Darren and Heather Turner and their three children, whose originally happy family is not at all the same when Darren comes home from deployment as an army chaplain in Iraq. It is a novelization of Indivisible, The Movie, and it is based on the Turners' true story.
This book really opens our eyes to the reality of war and the tremendous courage that both those in the armed forces and those who are left at home to hold the fort, need in order to cope. The raw emotions shown and the desperation of those who are trying to trust the Lord in horrific situations is shown throughout. So much can be learned from this story and the sacrificial lives of the men and women who are trying to make the world safer for everyone.
Darren and Heather start out knowing that the Lord has called them to this service, him to the soldiers who are going through hell on earth and her to the wives who are struggling at home, especially those who have lost their husbands. Their faith is important to them, and they minister the truth of the Gospel in their various roles, but there comes a time of burnout when Darren comes home and is still ministering to those with needs. It seems as though their marriage and family life is over. His home coming is not the wonderful occasion to which they have been looking forward. He cannot let go of the horrors of war until eventually, he is forced seek help for himself, if he is to save his family.
As in all of life's experiences, it is only when we stop relying on our own strength, put on the full armour of God, and trust Him to see us through, that we are victorious over the attacks of the enemy.
The book is full of Scripture references and real life instruction in a story that really is a classic. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
I received a free copy of the book by Thomas Nelson from NetGalley. The opinions in this review are entirely my own.
