Winning the Tug-of-War for Future Generations This book is a passionate presentation of what our society is producing in children. The authors first present a "code blue" alarm for the need of paramedic and ambulance for at-risk children; then they provide some practical suggestions about how to save the children. The book contains statistics, stories, societal illustrations and hope-filled solutions, calling the reader to become what God has always called the Church to be: a change agent for the spiritually needy in every strata of society. Given the realities of our world catastrophes on every news broadcast, an epidemic of fragmented families, a severely coarsened society we can still make a difference in the lives of children by teaching them to value the right things. To do that, we must become a strategic force in the lives of the children we influence by counteracting the devastating forces that would destroy them. The authors provide specific suggestions for what the church can do as a whole and what we can do as individual believers to bring about these changes. ... Read more
