FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Famed
Dallas Pastor, Dr. Frederick D. Haynes, III, Releases New Book
Titled, Healing
Our Broken Village, which Deals With the Issues That Have
Left the Black Community Broken
 ATLANTA,
(October
21, 2008)
- Famed Dallas pastor, Dr. Frederick D. Haynes, III, expounds throughout the pages of his newest book, Healing Our Broken Village,
the problems that are leaving the black community of America
broken, not only as a whole, but individually. Dr. Haynes also shows us
through the pages of this book the biblical solutions to these
problems, and empowers us to strive to put our broken village back
together, based upon the Word of God.
Dr. Haynes says, "Within
the walls of our broken village there are broken families. Absent
parents, drug and alcohol addiction, emotional and psychological abuse,
sexual abuse and dysfunction, chronic health issues, racism, low
self-esteem, fear and anger are all a reflection of the brokenness that
exists in our community. You were born with many of these issues
flowing through your bloodstream which have become hereditary,
affecting future generations in your family. There is a need for a
solution that heals this sickness. Healing Our Broken Village
dares to take a bold look at the sicknesses and symptoms affecting men,
women and children within our village, the Black community. Regardless
of who you are, what hand you were dealt in life, who abused and
mistreated you, whatever system has failed you, God commissioned you
with the purpose to be an answer to the problem. Before we can
seriously raise this next generation, we have to deal with the
realities of our broken village."
The chapters are taken from eleven powerful,
thought-provoking sermons that Dr. Haynes preached in a
series titled, Healing our Broken Village at the Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, where he pastors. Some of the dynamic titles include:
- My Family is a Hot Mess
- You were Born to Blow Up
- There’s Some Music We Just Can’t Dance To
- What’s up with the Down-Low?
- Don’t Set Your Queen up to be a "Ho"
Through
the pages of this book, Dr. Haynes shows us how our "village" is broken
because of dysfunction, crime, violence, homosexuality, sexual abuse,
fear, and abandonment. He shows us that there is hope and a
prescription for these issues that we deal with. By the time you finish
reading this book, your mind will be stimulated to think about the
situation around you and to help make changes under the power of God to
put our broken village back together and to live the abundant life that
God designed for us to live.
