The problems urban families face-low income, drug abuse, divorce, gang involvement, domestic violence, and more-are devastating. But solutions exist in the local church that can transform troubled homes into places of love, security, hope and growth. In Reclaiming the Urban Family, Dr. Willie Richardson gives pastors and leaders methods that can make inner-city chuches a powerful force for restoring, training, and strengthening families, single-parent homes, and individuals. This book covers concerns as diverse as lay biblical counseling, singles and youth ministry, marriage preparation, occupational enrichment, single-parent households, evangelizing families, and more.
