We see disturbing trends in society when one watches the news or scrolls through their social media feed. Divorce, fatherlessness, split families and domestic violence are some of the atrocities which have been the outcome for many years. Albert Pooley saw this trend in his Native American people and wanted to do something to help strengthen their families. He developed the Fatherhood Is Sacred(R) program promoting responsible fatherhood and strengthening individuals and families by laying a strong foundation of a purpose-driven life. Originally this book was written in manual form for Native American fathers and mothers taught by Mr. Pooley who is the founder of Native American Fatherhood and Families Association (NAFFA), located in Mesa, Arizona. As his message of that manual spread all over the country, there were many who wanted to buy the manual without taking the course to get the information. This was not the intent of the manual. To keep the integrity of the original intent of this program, we transformed the information in the manual to teach the principles of what Albert Pooley has taught since 2002 into this book, Restoring Family Unity: The Pathway to Building Strong Family Relationships. Mr. Pooley's ideals of the Creator, Choice, Vision, Teachable, Wisdom and Service are explained here with stories of participants who have benefited from Fatherhood is Sacred(R) and are strengthening their own families. Readers will find Restoring Family Unity: The Pathway to Building Strong Family Relationships inspiring as these principals will have a positive affect and will build relationships that will last forever.

The companion to Family Ties: Restoring Unity in the African American Family helps leaders prepare to teach students to experience wholeness through Christ.

Family was created to be powerful. Adam and Eve were commissioned to tend the Garden of Eden, and their children were supposed to reproduce the culture of the Garden over the whole world. Unfortunately, in the Garden we were separated from the Father and family lost its identity, its purpose, and its power. Although we were orphans, the Father never stopped pursuing us, and "when the fullness of time had come," our loving Daddy sent Jesus on a rescue mission. He restored us back into the presence of the Father and to our identity. Family was and still is the Father's plan. The time is now for families to be restored and play a critical role in the "restoration of all things." This book provides key strategies that bring healing to your own heart, to your family relationships, and to the inheritance mindset. The result will be a restoration of power and influence that was your family's destiny from the beginning of time

To move from struggle to liberation the African American family is in need of a vision. The book addresses the critical need to reconnect the Black family with the type of unity that has historically been at the root of its strength. This book deals with the struggles that come against the family such as racism, classism, economic uncertainty, and a lack of spiritual and ethnic identity. Family Ties contains vignettes from a collection of Bible families, paired with an inside look at today's African American family. Each chapter illustrates timeless values by presenting background information on the historical context of the Bible family and guidance in drawing for the modern family.
