Coming Home

A 31-Day Devotional of Hope and Healing for Parents of Estranged and Prodigal Children... Is your heart battered and hurting because your son or daughter will not speak to you? They’ve cut you out of their lives and will have nothing to do with you? The child you lovingly raised has walked away from, not only the faith that you modelled and instilled in them, but you as well?

The prodigal child is a heartache that families have faced throughout history. Estrangement from young adult children is the new “phenomenon.” This estrangement phenomenon does not discriminate; parents, whether Christian parents or those who have no church affiliation, are living with the pain of having their adult children go no contact with them, often without any explanation. The anguish that they experience when this happens is devastating. Unfortunately, despite the fact more and more families are falling victim to this vicious crisis, parents feel isolated, abandoned by God and find that very little, if any, support is offered from the Church or from one’s community.

Within the pages of Coming Home, Dr. Gail Matis offers insight into what is happening and why. She offers comfort, hope, encouragement and support to the hurting parent’s heart. Dr. Matis is convinced that God is going to turn this estrangement phenomenon around and families are going to be reconciled and restored. Come on this 31 day journey with her and be refreshed and reassured that God is moving in our estranged and prodigal children’s lives. Our children are coming home!
