Boni Piper and Judith Balswick provide a helpful guide for parents whose adult children are about to leave the nest. They address issues of autonomy, relational differences, communication, "boomer-ang" children and more.
In Families in Pain, the Balswicks offer an honest look at the various points where pain enters our families. Some pain comes at stress points of daily life--marriage, dealing with children, caring for parents--some with terrible trauma. Faces with the choice of walking away or covering pain with a smile, the Balswicks show a third way--the path of godly courage that leaves you and your family strengthened.
