Author Nancy E. Head was a single mother with five children under the age of fourteen when many in the church came to her aid. Her story illustrates common problems in our society, such as the fracturing of families and communities, reflecting a splintering church. Alienated families and a riven church cannot minister as effectively to their own members or others until they find accord. Nancy is the author of Restoring the Shattered: Illustrating Christ's Love Through the Church in One Accord.
