Strong Women, Fed-Up Men, Defeated Sons, Broken Daughters: Healing Generational Pain - Paperback

by Mark Momplaisir (Author)

HEALING GENERATIONAL PAIN THROUGH UNDERSTANDING. FORGIVENESS. PURPOSE. SELF-CARE. SELF-LOVE. SACRIFICIAL LOVE. As the saying goes, those who don't know history are destined to repeat it. In Strong Women, Fed-Up Men, Defeated Sons, Broken Daughters, Mark Momplaisir calls for rebuilding a culture that was founded on racial disparity, brokenness, detrimental patterns inherited from slavery, and generational hurt. Mark's plea for mental, spiritual, and physical healing arises from the fundamental understanding that people of African descent have endured a painful past. A past that has defined who we are, how we are, and where we are. In order to be the people we were intended to be, and to live the purposeful, peaceful, and meaningful life we were created to live, we must understand our history, the lessons our parents taught us, and how our past influences our behavior and relationships. Our communities are being torn apart by dysfunctional, unhealthy, and unproductive ways of interacting with one another. Mark explains how understanding, self-love, self-care, purpose, forgiveness, grace, and sacrificial love can create a life that is peaceful and purpose-filled. In his book, Mark shows us how to embark on the journey of healing, learning, and unlearning generational patterns so we can live a life of peace, happiness, and prosperity.
