HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE

Theres nothing exciting about being forced into the fraternity of hurting parents but once there the question becomes one of survival for you your young adult offspring your family and the relationships you all share How do you deal with the issues and heartache that accompany the drama And if youre a Christian how do you reconcile your understanding of who God is with the situation in which you find yourself For most parents understandably the question becomes How can I get through to my sondaughter But the question that really needs to be asked may be How can I get a grip on myself so I dont do things that make matters worse This book is a toolkit filled little by littleone tool one difficulty at a time With these tools the Lord Jesus Christ upheld me firmly but tenderly showed me options that lay before me and helped me navigategiving me fresh perspectivein the midst of heartwrenching challenges I shudder to think how I might have responded absent His help Amazingly often unbeknown to me at the same time the Lord was helping me He was wonderfully at work in the lives of our young adult children and our family as a whole My toolkit is something I wish Id never needed but over time it has become a treasure for which I am deeply grateful I humbly share my treasure with you
