A Long Way Off: Hope & Healing for Parents of Prodigals

By Kitti Murray

Book Overview

There is an Agony in Waiting known only by parents who have gazed down the long road that led their child away from home. They wait in hope that this road will lead them back, yet how does one find peace for the moment in long days of anticipation? If this is where you are, A Long Way Off can help begin the healing regimen. It is a regimen because there are no magic solutions and no guarantees. But there is hope. Kitti Murray's thoughts are like a spiritual salve on open wounds. Leading through the Scriptures, she gives you the opportunity to respond with your own thoughts and prayers. Book jacket.

Customer Reviews

Such Encouragement!

I have read this wonderful book once, held on to every word, passed it on to another hurting parent, and am buying my second copy to soak in again. Kitti Murray's book is inspired and truly brings comfort and hope to parents whose kids are wandering.

Hope and Healing

So often we bombard ouselves with the question: "Where did I go wrong?" We see the question in the eyes of others, even our friends. Kitti Murray's book, A Long Way Off, does not ask the question, nor does it attempt to answer it. Instead, this is a book of healing and love. It helps us learn that there are other parents out there hurting the same way we are. Read the book for the hope but also read it for the beautiful writing style. Sometimes Murray's expressive, poetic writing is healing enough for the moment.
