Love, Pray, Listen

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?; and 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.
