ActingasChancellorofLU andpastorofThomas Road Baptist Church, along with many other positions and responsibilities, makes Jerry Falwell a very busy man.

Yet Falwell refuses to stick simply to his "job description." One of his latest accomplishments is a book entitled "The New American Family," published in 1992 by Word Publishing.

"Itismy sinceredesirethatThe New American Family will challenge parents, pastors, leaders throughout society and America's young people to recommit themselves to the basic unit in God's earthly kingdom, namely the family"

In the book, Falwell addresses such issues as radical feminism, the sexual revolution, broken homes, drug and alcohol abuse and abortion, plus their effects on the American family. He also covers God's Biblical plan for the family.
