With New Book, Author Denise Isaac Fights to Save Families

MIAMI, Sept. 27, 2007 -- From restroom sex scandals and
celebrity custody battles to brutal murders of stepchildren,
the American family is under attack like never before. But
in her second book, "Show Me a Family: The Most Valuable

Institution Deemed Invaluable" (paperback, ISBN
1-60034-418-6, $9.99, http://www.showmeafamily.com),
Christian counselor, pastor, gospel songwriter and
registered nurse Denise P. Isaac is telling readers how to
fight back.

"The family institution is in crisis," Isaac explained.
"Recent events such as young stars being busted for DUI show
that young people in particular are straying from the fold,
and families are losing their moral center. More families
than ever need repair and regeneration. It begins with a
fresh understanding and appreciation of the importance of
family not just in the lives of individuals, but in the
community as a whole. Only then can we embrace the truth:
that the key to maintaining healthy familial relationships
is agape love, the unconditional love that comes from God."

"Show Me a Family" explains why families are unhealthy and
tells readers how to heal broken relationships. It's not
complicated; in fact, writes Isaac, repairing families boils
down to unconditional love, which is neither self-centered
and faultfinding nor impatient and easily provoked. But for
families accustomed to conflict, that kind of love can be
elusive. "Show Me a Family" provides a roadmap from pain and
anger to agape love.

Throughout the book, Isaac, who does not shy away from
controversial subjects, speaks plainly about why families in
crisis affect us all.

"I applaud efforts to make our society better," Isaac
stated. "But rarely do those efforts have lasting positive
effects, because so few people focus on strengthening the
family in relation to the problems we face as a society.
Since the family is the nucleus of society, shaping and
influencing society's moral, sociopolitical and economic
trends, every good results-driven effort to salvage society
must start with, and revolve around, the family."

And that is exactly what "Show Me a Family" strives to do.
Readers will emerge with a better understanding of
themselves, their families and their family members; the
causes and effects of their family's problems; and the
solutions to their problems and how to implement those
solutions for long-term success. The book also includes
practical tools and strategies to help the reader strengthen
and rebuild relationships and inspire others hoping to do
the same.

Readers applaud Isaac's no-nonsense, down-to-earth style,
crediting the author with helping to heal their families.
"This book could not have come at a better time," stated
reader L.G. Strachan. "[Isaac has brought to the forefront]
some issues that plague families everywhere. ...[The] life
and health of the family structure depend on facing the real
issues and dealing with them."
