The loss of a spouse through death, divorce, or even abandonment can leave a mom or dad feeling uncertain about how to pull the family together and raise spiritually healthy children. In this best-selling book, Bishop T. D. Jakes, the father of five children, offers hope, encouragement, and biblical advice for single parents—and for those who feel as if they are single.
 
Using discussion questions, interactive parent/child activities, and prayers at the end of each chapter, Jakes helps you learn how to embrace your family’s future and let go of your painful past as you reflect on topics including:

• Learn how to accept unexpected changes.
• Know that past failure does not prevent future success.
• Learn how to love imperfect people.
• Turn pain into power.
• Know that it is OK to ask for help.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXELLENT, EYE-OPENER, STRENGHT GIVING BOOK, February 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Help I'm Raising My Children Alone (Paperback)

I have been separated from my spouse for 3 1/2 years. This book blesses me so much. I've cried while reading it, because it ministers strength and answers many questions beginning with Why. It also helps you to realize that just because the husband is gone, does not mean you have no husband. He is a father to the fatherless -PSALM 68:5. Isaiah 54:5 says For Thy Maker is thy husband. I am learning to depend upon him to help me raise my 4 children, because I cannot do it alone and this book has blessed me with Strength - highly recommended!!!!
