Book Cover & Preview Text
Throughout the United States, communities have reported an increase in single-parent families. Ellwood and Jencks report “more than half of all fatherless families are created by divorce, separation, death, or imprisonment, and nearly half of all out-of-wedlock births are now due to cohabiting fathers and mothers…since the late 1970’s the figure has been about 60 percent.
...The need for forgiveness is overwhelmingly clear, but the other aspect of forgiveness – reconciliation – is not so readily embraced. 2 Corinthians 5:18, 19 informs us that not only are we to regard the other according to our new identity, but that a part of that identity is being reconcilers. We have been given the ministry and message of reconciliation because God reconciled us to Himself through Christ.

About the Book
A Primer in Transformed Personhood takes you on a journey of discovery and recognition of truth often hidden from those desiring to be “built up in Him.” Amid the many voices that cry out to one’s mind to cast aside all boundaries and parameters and just be a “free” agent, hope shouts out from these pages that you are free and can therefore participate in intimate relationships that don’t leave you wounded and alone; not because of them but because you have been empowered to change what moves your mind.
About the Author
R. A. Jackson-Woods brings to this writing a plethora of experiences, both natural and academic. With over forty years of ministerial practice as Bible teacher, seminar leader and presenter, conference speaker, Sunday school superintendent, lead female youth leader in the state of Iowa, evangelist missionary, church administrator, assistant pastor, pastoral counselor, and currently serving as co-pastor, Ramona brings a breath of fresh air to those who have been bogged down by hurt, pain, abandonment, and rejection. Having completed both master of divinity and doctor of ministry degree programs at the King’s University as a senior citizen (over fifty), she knows firsthand the power of God to embrace an individual at the point of their surrender with His grace and transforming love.
