Francine Hernandez, CPSP Diplomate and CPSP Past President recently authored a book: The Safety-Pin: Holding Your Life Together When It's Bursting at the Seams.
The author sets the book's mission as:
It's your season to soar toward your destiny! It's your season to discover the power of being your sister's keeper! It's your season to re-author your story... The journey you will embark upon will liberate you to: * Know yourself more intimately * Evoke the power of your personal story and its relationship to your destiny...Create sacred spaces where brokenness can be shared...To help your sister give birth to her destiny.
The Reverend Christine Bridges, an ordained minister with the African Methodist Episcopal Church who is a nursing manager for Visiting Nurse Services of New York, reviewed the book and was obviously impressed when she writes:
What a timely gift! When many persons are trying to do it all, “The Safety Pin” invites women to be. Be the new you God intended. Live your purposeful life. Dr. Francine L. Hernandez shares her thoughts and personal experiences, and she ignites others to do the same to discover their “safety pin” of faith.
Pastoral counselors and ministers will find this book a contribution to pastoral care and counseling as familiar biblical stories are retold, become new stories, and empower others to re-author their own stories. No one journeys alone. Women and men are encouraged to become self aware and to be accountable to others. Reading Dr. Hernandez’s book is a personal retreat experience for anyone who desires to be in the intimate presence of God.
The Safety-Pin can be purchased at Amazon in Hardcover, Paperback and Kindle editions.
