Breaking Strongholds in the African-American Family

Summary: An excellent book....everyone should read this...
Review: Although Dr. Walker touches on some of the problems that exists in the African-American family and the generational curses and mind sets of African-Americans, I believe that everyone can and will benefit by reading this book. His analogy of the stronghold and how it must be dismantled is superb.

In part 2 as Dr. Walker describes the Christian's arsenal and the battle plan for the Church it is very evident that if we (the church) will do battle this way, we WILL have victory over the enemy of our soul and our fanilies.

As Dr. Walker explains the "battering ram" and how we must use it to make a "breach" or hole in the wall of the stronghold to enable us to bring it down as we also use "the crow" to topple the stronghold it makes perfectly clear what our prayers do as we labor in spiritual warfare.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Church that follows these principles in prayer WILL be victorious. But, the question is, "Are we (the church) willing to pay the price?"

I see many reading the book and agreeing that this IS what the Church needs to do, but few that will truly, "step up to the plate" and take on the spiritual battle.

Summary: Breaking Strong Holds
Review: Dr. Walker wrote his book "to explain the trouble of African-American family phenomenon in a spiritual way." Part I of the book, "The Strongholds in African-American families," is not much more than a listing of attitudes that cause difficulties in black families. Walker's discussion of those attitudes is brief and superficial. Part II of the book, however, gives a more detailed discussion of ways of overcoming problems that destroy African-American homes. The book ends with a brief but helpful appendices.

Summary: Excellent treatment
Review: Dr. Walker's treatment of these issues is fantastic!! He brings dynamic insight into the problems that plaugue the black community. This book looks at our problems at the root and gives details on how to specifically deal with them. It is very well written with doctrinal integrity, therapeautic accuracy, and academic excellence. My only problem or criticism is that it is much to brief. The black community needs more resources such as this.
