“Have you ever pondered upon the declining trust of humans in the institution of marriage?” writes Barr. “There has been a high rate of single parentship observed among the masses. The changing norms and cultures, changing concepts regarding parenting, and the spiking graphs of divorce highlighted the alarming situation of declining institution of marriage. The problem has been further invigorated by the declined institution of religion. High divorce rates in the United States over the past twenty years have resulted in numerous changes in American family life, with perhaps the most important consequences bearing on children whose families were disrupted.”

Barr continues, “The book encapsulates the issue of the collapsing institution of marriage and the increased divorce ratio in the society. These facts will then be connected with the way these practices of divorce affect the children psychologically, with special focus on those under eighteen years. The book will be divided into chapters that will proceed step by step toward the conclusions. The book shall also include the interview data of the individuals, including the parents and children to determine how they have perceived and accepted this change that occurs with finalization of marriage. Graphs and statistical evidences will be used.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Lorenzo Barr’s new book extensively discusses the issue of collapsing institutions of marriage and the increased divorce ratio in society, and how it can all be tied back to the erosion of religious institutions in America. As readers will discover, Barr’s writings question the ethical, social, religious, and political norms that have combined effect on the way rates of divorce are increasing and the way rates of declining trust have erupted among the people of God.
