Hands-on answers to the crises of urban homes. The problems urban
families face--low income, drug abuse, divorce, gang involvement,
domestic violence, and more--are devastating. But solutions exist
in the local church that can transform troubled homes into places
of love, security, hope, and growth. In Reclaiming the Urban
Family, Dr. Willie Richardson gives pastors and leaders methods
that can make inner-city churches a powerful force for restoring,
training, and strengthening families, single-parent homes, and
individuals. Using the principles and strategies described, the
family training ministry of Dr. Richardson's own Christian
Stronghold Baptist Church in Philadelphia has - Brought about a
near-zero divorce rate - Produced strong marriages built on deep
love bonds between couples - Helped numerous low- and
moderate-income families become debt-free - Trained men to be
competent husbands and fathers--and raised adult male membership in
church to as high as 48 percent - Lowered the number of teenage
pregnancies - Helped win to Christ those who have seen
transformation in their loved ones. Reclaiming the Urban Family
covers concerns as diverse as lay biblical counseling, singles and
youth ministry, marriage preparation, occupational enrichment,
single-parent households, evangelizing families, and more. Complete
with a section of resources for African-American family ministries,
it shows how local churches can become dynamic agents for building
thriving homes and individuals and for evangelizing the unsaved.
