How do you maintain connection with a child whose choices break your heart? How do you stand strong in your faith when your child abandons everything you've instilled in them? Bible teacher and author Erica Wiggenhorn asked these questions while walking the lonely road of chasing after her prodigal child. Through hard-won lessons learned in Scripture and life, she emerged with some answers. In her book, discover:
- How common it is for teens and adult children to walk away from their parents' Christian values
- Ways to foster connection with your child, even if he/she is pulling away

"There has never been a perfect parent," Erica encourages, "but there's always been a perfect God. And He's not done writing your family's story. If you need some consolation that past mistakes are not your child's ruin, that what's been lost can still be found, and that your family's future can hold more light than darkness, this book is for you. In Loving Your Wayward Child, grab hold of some hope and rest in grace, dear friend. Let's explore God's faithfulness together."
