ABOUT THE BOOK

In the perfect world, we would live in a society where everyone loved each other, demonstrated mutual respect, and protected children at all costs.

Unfortunately, that is not our world, and children that do not have the family structure or other supports fall prey to things that no child should ever have to endure.

No child should ever feel alone or unloved. Regardless of what happens to the relationship of their parents, at a minimum, a child should know that they have the love and support of their parents.

If you don’t, as a parent, take responsibility for saying positive things to your children; you leave them open for the world to tell them who they are, what they can become, and what they can do with their lives. There is power in the spoken word.

Children need to be loved and encouraged. If they are struggling with things, we don’t call them bad, stupid, or tell them they will never amount to anything.

What message are you sending your children? If you are a parent and you make the choice to be absent, you are sending a message. It may not be the message you want to send but there is a message. Your child is left to try to figure out why you chose to be absent.

The Dance speaks to the changing family dynamic, the staggering divorce rate in our nation, the number of children born into single parent households or because of a divorce end up in a single parent home. Further, this book will discuss God’s divine order for the family and the power of the Heavenly Father and the earthly father. It will highlight some of the challenges faced by children that don’t have both parents actively participating in their lives.
