There are no easy answers to life's problems. This is especially true when a loved one is hurting. In When Your Children Hurt, Dr. Charles Stanley addresses many of the issues families face when a child is fighting a long-term illness, the effects of abuse, or other issues such as drugs or immorality. It's during those times when feelings of hopelessness can quickly become despair. Dr. Stanley reminds us, "God has an answer for our deepest need, but we must seek His help."? How do you deal with the heartache of watching your child face painful situations? There is only one way: through faith in Jesus Christ. You can spend a lifetime trying to fix a situation that only He can mend. Or you can trust Him and watch Him work mightily to bring hope to your most hopeless situation. ?
I am a fan of Charles Stanley and have read several of his books. This one is good, maybe a little repetitive if you've read others by Stanley. The chapter on fear is awesome, and makes getting the book worthwhile. If you have experienced the death or serious illness of a child this may be a hard read. It holds that all pain is for a reason- a hard concept when your child is the one in pain or gone. I got it to help me deal with future trials my child faces. If you want it for that reason, I'd say it's great.

This is great! Anything Charles Stanley does is awesome. It offers guidance to those of us who has a child hurting in one way or the other. And, doesn't everyone who has a child need this? It should be right up there with Dr. Spock and Dr. Dobson's books.
