The Wounded Parent

Many Christian parents, although active in their churches, are crying for help because they cannot understand or cope with their wayward children. Counselor and author Guy Greenfield has discovered and dealt with many wounded parents who are searching for guidelines to come to terms with themselves and their children. In this revision of his classic work, Greenfield offers hope and practical guidance for parents who feel abandoned by God because their children have not turned out as they had planned.

The Wounded Parent provides both immediate and long-range help for parents whose children have rejected the spiritual values of their parents by choosing a value system and behavior pattern outside the evangelical tradition. This book also helps parents to rebuild the channels of communication with their children and to construct new relationships with them.
