Wanda, how can Home Again: Stories of Restored Relationships be used for ministry purposes?
Home Again contains many family and relational dynamics. As readers turn the pages, they will connect with real-life characters. After the dilemma is presented, readers will have the opportunity to walk through the healing process with the characters. This can be extremely powerful if the reader’s life mirrors the characters.
For example, in Birthing Pains, I felt Eugeenia’s anguish, having teenaged children. My daughter was also a drama queen and drove me crazy. Through the story, I recognized how I could have handled that era better.
LEAVE A NOTE: Are you struggling about a broken relationship? Let us know how we can lift you up in prayer.

Home Again is filled with heartfelt stories of family issues with real-life characters that expose us to a family problem that requires forgiveness and redemption. Each story has you at the edge of your chair anticipating to see the outcome of the story. In Birthing Pains, it was interesting to see how a teen could totally be unaware of her present condition. The family members were so disconnected from one another that it took those birthing pains to bring restoration (Kudos to Tyora Moody for her first published work). Wanda Campbell kept my mouth open and in suspense as she told the story of how two twin sisters shared the same man. The betrayal was devastating and it caused years of bitterness, but forgiveness and redemption created an opportunity to bring restoration for them. Finding out that your momma really isn’t your momma is hard pill to swallow, but Tasha was confronted with this same issue in Tavares Carney’s story. Each story was so real and they will each keep you turning the pages to see how each family issue was going to be restored. This is an excellent anthology compiled by Wanda Campbell and I’m hoping that all of these stories will become entire books one day real soon. Look to hear more great things about the authors of Home Again.
