MEDIA ADVISORY, July 21 /Christian Newswire/ -- On the heels of the eve of the CNN documentary, Blacks in America, airing this week, Dr. Peggy Elliott of Dr. Peggy Elliott Ministries has written a ground breaking work, "Finding Our True Freedom: How to Bring Healing to the Broken Hearts of African Americans." Elliott gets to the heart of much that threatens to paralyze the African American community. Authors such as Bill Cosby and other have documented the problems facing the African American culture. Elliott spells out the solution, getting back to a right relationship with Jesus Christ. "When our vertical relationship is right, then our horizontal relationships will be right," writes Elliott. "Finding Our True Freedom" weaves together challenges facing African Americans and ways God's word can bring restoration.

Currently residing in Wichita, KS, this native Minnesotan chronicles through history citing that African Americans were once kings, queens and pharaohs, gifted in math, science and engineering. Where did we go wrong? She goes on to cite abortions and unforgiveness towards White America, as a few reasons for brokenness within the African American community. Since the legalization of abortion, 1973, we have aborted over 16 million babies. Have we lost our minds? No, we have misplaced our first love. Yet, Elliott challenges even the most ardent non-believer to "find Jesus."

The author subsequently supplements anecdotal stories of personal experience, biblical exhortation and historical interpretation of Blacks in America. "Let's not forget our past, nor get stuck in it." Elliott's book brings a distinguished foreword written by Dr. Alveda King, niece of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Dr. Elliott's book is a bold and liberating tool, designed to illuminate minds and hearts, and to do as Jesus taught us, to 'set the captives free.' It is time for us all to find our true freedom.

Elliott admits some may have concerns with her conclusions. "I've been told this book may cause controversy," said Elliott. It calls for taking responsibility for our lives and actions and putting God first.

Her open dialogue lingers throughout the book as if she were having a personal conversation with the reader in the kitchen over a cup of tea. Elliott achieves her goal, importantly, to acknowledge victory over past hurts and healing broken hearts of African Americans comes through a right relationship with Jesus Christ.
