Resources for Changing Lives - Prodigal Children: Hope and Help for Parents
ISBN: 9781629953748Book Description:
If your adult child has left the faith and embraced an ungodly lifestyle, you may be experiencing shock, confusion, anger, guilt, shame, loneliness-even despair.
And with these painful emotions come hard questions:
-
Did I cause this to happen?
-
What should I tell others about my child?
-
How do I interact with my child going forward?
Robert Jones offers the comfort of the gospel?to both grieving parents and their pastors, counselors, and friends. He reminds you that God,?the Father of countless prodigal children, understands your hurt like none other; shows you how to find your strength and identity in God instead of in the choices your children make; and gives wise advice for the many practical questions you are facing.
Resources for Changing Lives provide book- and booklet-length counsel and guidance from a biblical perspective. Counselors including David Powlison, Paul David Tripp, and Ed Welch get to the heart of our struggles and help us understand the spiritual issues involved, guiding us to biblical truths and outcomes that honor God and teach us how to live.
