- handle the emotional roller coaster of trust
- deal with your children's self-destructive choices

Parenting is one of the greatest joys in the world… but it’s also one of the most difficult. Sometimes try as hard as we might, we can do all the right things and our children will still struggle. Perhaps this is why the story of the prodigal son is one that we hear so much about… because it is one that so many can relate to. 

Thankfully, this is not an area of parenthood that I have personally had to deal with yet, but for those who are, they need a battle plan… The Parent’s Battle Plan can be just that. It combines scriptural references with personal stories from the author. I think in sharing those personal stories, it makes it all that much more relatable. Who wants to be told what to do by someone who has never been there themselves? 

If you’re struggling with an estranged or prodigal child, this could be a useful resource.
