You Never Stop Being a Parent: Thriving in Relationship with Your Adult Children

Description: You Never Stop Being a Parent: Thriving in Relationship with Your Adult Children Product Description Product Description Are your parenting responsibilities continuing into your children's adulthood? Here you'll be grounded in the guidance of God's Word and reminded that your relationship with your adult children hinges on your relationship with God. Review In this must-have book, Jim and Elyse do an amazing job of addressing the major issues parents deal with regarding their adult children (saved and unsaved). Having just finished The Faithful Parent with Martha Peace, I am so pleased to recommend this invaluable book that picks up where we left off. Sometimes these later years can be some of the most challenging for parents but in this book you will find lots of direction, compassion and hope. The reader will quickly catch that the authors are fellow sinners and fellow sufferers who speak to us as brother and sister in the Lord. From this humble perspective, several "hot" issues (courtship, parental authority, in-laws, grandparents, etc) are dealt with biblically with lots of real-life stories and practical applications to help the reader see how the principles are lived out in real life. They stress the area of relationships giving priority to the parent's own heart and responses and to the marriage bond. As they flesh out what it means to be loving, faithful, courageous and trusting God with children, they continually point us to the person of Christ and all the resources we have as Christians (The Spirit, the Word, the Church, etc). After all this, the appendices at the end of the book again offer important practical helps such as tools for resolving conflicts and sample parent/young adult contracts. This is one book that every parent needs to have and read!--Stuart W. Scott Professor of Biblical Counseling at The Master's University, Graduate ProgramPerfect timing. Just as the questions from parents with adult children start streaming in, we have solid, biblical material to put in their hands. And the book is packed. No sooner did I think, but what about ____ and the next illustration set me off on a wise course. Thank WelchThis book, You Never Stop Being a Parent is a most needed book. I often meet with parents who are seeking direction about how to handle situations where their (what should be at least age wise) adult children have spurned the Christian beliefs and values and standards of their parents. Scripture speaks of the great joy that godly children who walk in the truth bring to their parents (3 John 4). Conversely, Scripture speaks of the intense grief and sadness that ungodly children bring to their parents when they turn from Christ to walk in the ways of the world (Proverbs 10:1; 17:22). If, as God's Word indicates, there is no greater joy for godly parents than the joy of seeing their children walking in and loving the truth, it probably can be rightly said that there is hardly any greater sorrow than the sorrow of seeing their children reject the Christ whom they love with all their hearts. Recently, Carol and I were approached by a sweet and dedicated Christian couple who love Christ more than anything who are going through this valley of sorrow caused by their wayward daughter. Their words to us when seeking a counseling appointment were, We don't know what to do! Our daughter has turned her back on the Lord and is headed for serious trouble. We want to respond to her in a godly way and do what is the biblical thing, but right now we don't know what that is. She simply won't listen to us. We want to help her, but aren't sure what is the best way to provide that help. Will you meet with us and give us some biblical direction? This book will be of immense help to them and others like them. Thanks Jim (and Elyse) for giving to us and to needy parents a biblically based book with some solid guidelines for knowing what is the most God honoring way and helpful way to respond as they go through this valley of Baca (Psalm 84:6).
