Temporarily Disconnected: A perspective on the decline of Black relationships and families, and how we can achieve restoration

Where is the love in the black community? Why can’t our men and women get along anymore? What’s really going on with our children? Have our parenting skills fallen to an all-time low? Most importantly, is there still hope for true love in the Black community, or is that just a fairy tale? The book Temporarily Disconnected offers a perspective on all of these things that will no doubt spark discussion, and may change the way some of us view these often difficult to understand issues. Originally published in 2006, this book was a glimpse into author Kelly R. Jackson’s struggle to reconcile all these different things as he struggle with the dating game. In this 2016 Revised Edition, he’s now a married minister of the Gospel. While the vast majority of this book remains unchanged, this author ends this edition with a chapter on marriage and a message of restoration. Whether you’re still going through your single days or you’ve made it through, Temporarily Disconnected offers excellent words of caution and encouragement for the Black community.
