Helping And Healing Our Families: Principles And Practices Inspired By "The Family: A Proclamation to the World"

On the tenth anniversary of "The Family: A Proclamation to the World," Helping and Healing Our Families draws on scholarship and the counsel of prophets to strengthen marriages, families, and communities. The book offers practical helps for many challenges of family life, including illness and death, difficult teens, single parenting, marital differences, abuse, pronography addiction, and more. A companion volume to BYU School of Family Life's Strengthening Our Families (published in 2000), Helping and Healing Our Families focuses on creating, sustaining, and healing relationships. This comprehensive resource offers new, concrete ways to meet family life, and even family challenges, with renewed hope. This fall marks the tenth anniversary since President Gordon B. Hinckley introduced and read The A Proclamation to the World in the General Relief Society Meeting on September 23, 1995. In an effort to help families and Latter-day Saints live and better understand the teachings of this historic document, Deseret Book is pleased to publish the new book Helping and Healing Our Families in conjunction with the School of Family Life at Brigham Young University. Among the dozens of timely and invaluable chapters and essays, readers will enjoy the "The Covenant of Marriage" by Daniel K. Judd and Ann N. Madsen "Joys and Challenges of Marrying Later in Life" by Camille Fronk "Keeping Marriage Relationships Strong Through the Years" by Ed and Patricia P.
