FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
With New Book, Author Denise Isaac Fights to Save Families
MIAMI, Sept. 27, 2007 – From restroom sex scandals and celebrity custody battles to brutal murders of stepchildren, the American family is under attack like never before. But in her second book, Show Me a Family: The Most Valuable Institution Deemed Invaluable (paperback, ISBN 1-60034-418-6, $9.99, http://www.showmeafamily.com), Christian counselor, pastor, gospel songwriter and registered nurse Denise P. Isaac is telling readers how to fight back.
“The family institution is in crisis,” Isaac explained. “Recent events such as young stars being busted for DUI show that young people in particular are straying from the fold, and families are losing their moral center. More families than ever need repair and regeneration. It begins with a fresh understanding and appreciation of the importance of family not just in the lives of individuals, but in the community as a whole. Only then can we embrace the truth: that the key to maintaining healthy familial relationships is agape love, the unconditional love that comes from God.”
Show Me a Family explains why families are unhealthy and tells readers how to heal broken relationships. It’s not complicated; in fact, writes Isaac, repairing families boils down to unconditional love, which is neither self-centered and faultfinding nor impatient and easily provoked. But for families accustomed conflict, that kind of love can be elusive. Show Me a Family provides a roadmap from pain and anger to agape love.
Throughout the book, Isaac, who does not shy away from controversial subjects, speaks plainly about why families in crisis affect us all.
“I applaud efforts to make our society better,” Isaac stated. “But rarely do those efforts have lasting positive effects, because so few people focus on strengthening the family in relation to the problems we face as a society. Since the family is the nucleus of society, shaping and influencing society’s moral, sociopolitical and economic trends, every good results-driven effort to salvage society must start with, and revolve around, the family.”
And that is exactly what Show Me a Family strives to do. Readers will emerge with a better understanding of themselves, their families and their family members; the causes and effects of their family’s problems; and the solutions to their problems and how to implement those solutions for long-term success. The book also includes practical tools and strategies to help the reader strengthen and rebuild relationships and inspire others hoping to do the same.
Readers applaud Isaac’s no-nonsense, down-to-earth style, crediting the author with helping to heal their families. “This book could not have come at a better time,” stated reader L.G. Strachan. “[Isaac has brought to the forefront] some issues that plague families everywhere. …[The] life and health of the family structure depend on facing the real issues and dealing with them.”
Isaac is also the author of Agape to You, a collection of Christian poetry. On October 26-28, Isaac will host and appear at a conference at the CrownePlaza, Miami: Replenishing, Restoring, Reviving the Breaches. For more information, visit http://www.allthatgodis.org/new.html.
