MECHANICSBURG, Pa./EWORLDWIRE/Sep. 6, 2007 --- RL Owensby delves into the heart and mind of family life in his new book, "We B. Family." ($24 from Spiral-Up Publishing, PO Box 458, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055). How can a family have it all together - cars, houses, jobs, money, and even the best relationships one day and find themselves on the verge of total devastation the next? Two words - bad choices.Family life is no longer the norm. Single parent homes are becoming more popular. Divorce rates are up more than 50 percent. Teenage pregnancy has increased by 25 percent over the last ten years. The prisons are occupied by more young men today than ever before.
These figures get worse, but the sad thing about it is that it's okay. This has become "normal" for a country that believes in publicizing meaningless "foo foo" for entertainment, paying immature athletes millions to be more irresponsible, and spending more money on entertainment in a month than they do housing, feeding or providing health insurance to the needy all year long.
This country was built on family values. Yet, society has turned a blind eye to the breakdown of the family. People are blaming the government and political factors for the problems that exist in America. The real problem lies within the four walls that called "home."
RL Owensby wrote his just published book, the first in a series of planned family books, to help struggling families get back on board. Said Owensby, "It is the family's responsibility - No! - obligation to ensure that our communities are solid and that our nation is sound, not the other way around. Strong people build strong families. Strong families build strong communities. Strong communities build strong societies. Strong societies build a strong world. Without strong families, the existence of the world, as we know it, is in grave danger."
Some of his wisdom revealed in this book are:
. The key to defeating every obstacle in life - no exceptions.
. Why it is important to know the people working with your spouse
. Why men are hard on their sons and soft on their daughters
. How a father paves the way for good or bad relationships in his daughter's life
. Why men need good women along their side
. Why strong men are weak
. Why we should never give up on anyone
And more.
