Book Description

August 14, 2002 0805956638 978-0805956634
From insight gained through years of ministry, observation, and research, Terry Cain critiques the unraveling fabric of our society. He explores the ramifications of racism, the negative influences of media and industry, our inner need for social prestige, the irreparable impact of children’s taunts and ostracism on our youth, and our obsession with physical beauty. "Frankenstein and Miss America" reveals "how we actually create these beauties and beasts; the Miss Americas as well as the Frankensteins" through our never ending need to rank, judge, and rate others.

Readers will find it difficult to ignore the messages presented before them, and the ways they can reach out to their fellow brothers and sisters with a new vision of themselves and our society.
