Daughter Of A Preacher Man

The book The Daughter of a Preacher Man written by Lanelle Perry gives us a snapshot and provocative look into the family life of a preacher's kid (PK).

The author takes us on an arduous journey into the interior walls of family life for a PK. She shows the confusing, inflexible and unyielding disciplines of strong pastoral doctrine. As the writer traveled the bivouac of life, she catalogues her jaunt with excellent precision. She gathers the ingredients of each experience, educates herself and gains spiritual renewal. She gathers the knowledge, understanding and wisdom, through life experiences and godly intervention, that life can be a difficult beast.

Lanelle Perry penetrates our mind and spirit with the loving kindness attained through the pursuit of life. We will profit from her profile as she illuminates the landscape of a holy and loving family.

Lanelle Perry brings a writing style that delivers a lucid view of the moralistic conflict faced in growing up under the authority of a Preacher Man. Lanelle Perry, a daughter of nobility, slowly unfolds the life of a PK to the reader and gives us a renewed awakening to the fact that God is the ultimate authority over all things in heaven and also beneath heaven Lanelle Perry encourages us to be "stewards of our young." The author's growth, love, dedication, and forgiveness are conclusive proof that "God is love." For those PKs, who have not forgiven their parents, this book will help you to find the way to do so. To those outsiders that wonder about the attributes of PKs, there is no greater love than the gifts that God loans us, and one day will return to God.

I encourage you to bring the family together for a quiet reading of The Daughter of a Preacher Man.
