"Love, Pray, Listen offers empathy and grounded biblical wisdom to help parents thrive, no matter what path their adult kids take."--Pastor Steve Stroope
Wisdom and Hope for Parents of Grown-Ups
As a parent, your role changes drastically after your kids grow up. You fear heartache and strained relationships when your children choose difficult--even seemingly wrong--paths.
Love, Pray, Listen is the gracious, practical resource you need for navigating the rocky terrain of parenting grown-ups. In this book, mom and author Mary DeMuth answers questions like:
● What do I do when my kids make choices that don't align with my values?
● How do I keep communication lines open with my grown children?
● When do I speak, and when do I listen?
● Is it possible to hold on to my joy when parenting is so hard?
● How do I avoid the temptation of meddling in my kids' lives?
Love, Pray, Listen offers a robust theology for long-term parenting gleaned from the discipleship model Jesus exemplified, one that carefully and thoughtfully applies his way of expressing love.
This is your invitation for spiritual growth and a path toward fulfilling relationships with your adult children.
