5.0 out of 5 stars A Dose of Reality, July 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Parents With Broken Hearts (Paperback)

William Coleman eloquently describes the enormous heartache of parents of prodigal children. He does not sugar-coat the painful reality nor try to give empty hope. Seeking to help hurting parents understand their own pain, Coleman includes stories of parents who have struggled with their young adults' poor choices in life. He encourages them to accept their reality and move on with their own lives while trusting their child to God.

Thankful Parent - See all my reviews

This review is from: Parents With Broken Hearts (Paperback)

Mr. Coleman provides a realistic view of parenting and family life. Parents do their best but at some point adult children are responsible for their own decisions. Using real life situations Mr. Coleman is able to take the reader to acceptance and putting away 'false guilt' and all the 'if onlys' or 'what ifs'. Acceptance and grace are provided. He also includes a chapter on adoption that would prove helpful for those in that situation.
