Nurturing Peace: How Families Can Help Incarcerated Loved Ones Change Their Lives - Paperback

by Kirk Blackard (Author)

An old proverb holds that "It takes a village to raise a child." This is a powerful reminder that human beings are not islands. We all need a community of loved ones to help us weather the storms of life. This is particularly true of those who have violated the law and are incarcerated for their actions. They face a storm of problems, often with little hope of rescue. They need a village-parents, spouses, siblings, extended family, friends, and others-to help them deal with their problems, straighten out their lives, and stay out of prison in the future. Nurturing Peace helps you be that village. It builds on the power of faith and stories to help you help your incarcerated loved one change his or her life by dealing effectively with issues such responsibility, accountability, confession, repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation, and restitution.
