MAITLAND, FL— Within the pages of Glover
Washington’s new book, The Assignment, ($14.49, paperback, 9781545609095; $6.99, e-book, 9781545609101) the author discusses
familial restoration according to the belief that God will send the prophet to
turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children’s hearts to
their fathers.
“Many ‘experts’ have confronted the issue of
fatherlessness without offering a valid solution to the problem,” states the author.
“There is only one thing that will solve the problem: restoration of fathers to
the family. Not father ‘figures’, but the genuine article. It is my hope that
men will have restored relationships with their children, and children to get
to know their fathers and be blessed by them. It is the good word that comes
from the father that can make the difference in a child's life.”
Glover
Washington grew up without a consistent relationship with his own father, which
inspired him to research and analyze the effects of absentee fathers. He has
previously written Shame’s Anatomy,
which focuses on the breakup of the African American family and shows the
correlation between growing up fatherless and living in poverty or committing
crime.
