Didn't See That Coming: When How They're Living's Not How You Raised Them

By Sharon Norris Elliott

What went wrong? You did all you knew to do to point your children in the right direction. You demonstrated love in word and deed, provided for their needs, attended their events, and even respected God's child-rearing direction in Proverbs 22:6 to "train up a child in the way he should go." But as your highly educated and articulate children enter mainstream society, you discover they've developed mores and ideas very different from yours, spiritually and emotionally knocking you off your feet. Didn't See That Coming: When How They're Living's Not How You Raised Them is an oasis of consolation in the midst of your present storm. As you read, receive: Comfort from other parents in similar situations. Empowerment from what the Bible has to say about the issue you are facing and strength from the Spirit of God. Answers to your what-can-I-do and what-should-I-say questions. Encouragement to employ "care-frontation," communication that conveys a combination of understanding, concern, and reality. Inspiration to pray powerfully for your children. Join author and baby boomer mom Sharon Norris Elliott as she guides you in taking your adult children to Jesus. He will make the difference in their lives and yours by strengthening you to face, understand, and "care-front" your child's issues even when you didn't see them coming.
