Why you should read this book 

Release the Prophetic Destiny in Philadelphia is a unique book for its time. The book is divided into three life enhancing sections:

(1) That every situation we face in our lives as an individual or as a people has many dimensions to them, and until we have acquired the knowledge of how to deal with them on each level (i.e. physical, mental, moral, and spiritual) we will never be victorious, and the cycle continues.

(2) No matter who we are, we are in a WAR. The battlefield is our mind, and those who influence our thoughts will influence our actions.

(3) If society and the nation have a problem with drugs, unwed mothers, teenage pregnancy, corruption, violence and the like, then they must go back to the foundation in order to solve the problem. If they have a national problem they must go back into the communities to find the source of the problem. Obviously, the community's problems affect the nation, which is a multiplicity of communities. Communities' problems are rooted in the families that make up each community. Fatherhood is the foundation of the family. The government and the church cannot fix society's problems.

Book Excerpt:

CHANGE FROM THE INSIDE

Have you felt trapped in a situation, somewhere you did not want to be, and then all of the sudden you broke free by the power of your own intuition, by the power of your connection with God? There is nothing more liberating than standing on your own two feet with your security in your faith in God, knowing that the Spirit of Christ is flowing through you.

My favorite/preferred Chapter

There are so many great chapters in this book, but Chapter 18 stood out the most for me, because it deals with the change we all have to make within ourselves, before change can be viable on the outside.

Here is what some of Philadelphia's finest are saying about Release the Prophetic Destiny of Philadelphia:

"Maurine McFarlane has done what few people do, she has taken a vision directly from God and translated it into a strategic action plan with one goal in mind: To Restore Philadelphia to its original purpose – a place of Love, Caring, and Community. In this very readable book, the author connects the Action Plan to the vision given to her by God. This book should not only be read by every religious leader in Philadelphia, but around the nation and the world. All seminaries would be wise to recommend this book as a must read for all of its students." - Rev. W. Wilson Goode Sr., Former Mayor of Philadelphia

"Author Maurine McFarlane's voice rings clearly throughout Release the Prophetic Destiny in Philadelphia, as she calls us to achieve the founder's vision for this city, of peace, brotherhood, fair-dealing and prosperity.  Thoughtful, well-organized and insistent, this book was made to create positive change in our communities.  As we work together to meet the challenges that face our city and our nation, Ms. McFarlane's book will serve as an important guide, and her ardor and vision as an example to us all." - Louis Giorla, Commissioner for Philadelphia Prison System
