Wayward Children

Where can parents of wayward children find peace? In Wayward Children, Stuart W. Scott shares a 31-day devotional on finding peace and keeping hope. This book is a quick and encouraging help for those who have wayward or unbelieving children.

For the parent, a wayward child is a testing of faith. We are to trust God and remember that their story is not over. Scott gives practical tips, including encouraging your child, pursuing humility, and to continue showing the love of Christ.

Comfort and Confidence

I was most pleased to read that God understands the situation. He is the perfect parent, and even we as his children disobey and stray. Scott says that God’s understanding should give us comfort and confidence to approach him with our concerns.

The final three chapters are a call to perseverance, and Scott knows that there is no onetime fix-all deal. But he says to keep fighting for faith and joy – allowing God to change yourself and your child.
