Description

This is the Study Guide to accompany the book From Heartbroken to Hopeful.

As Christian parents we are called to faithfully train up our children in the love and discipline of the Lord. But what happens when our children grown into adulthood and make a conscious decision to live in an opposite way from God's instructions given through their mom and dad? All too often, when this happens, parents begin to believe they have failed God and their child. It can negatively impact relationships throughout the family.

What parents fail to realize in their heartbroken state is that they are not responsible for the decisions and actions of their prodigal. Out of her own disappointment, Shirley Elliott helps you to peer into your own heart, and through the power of Jesus Christ find hope for the future. Brad Bigney, who wrote the Foreword for this book describes biblical hope as "…a confident expectation of a future blessing based on the character and promises of God that are centered around the person and work of Jesus Christ." We pray you will find that confident expectation here.
