About the Book
There's no doubt that your parenting role changes drastically when your kids become adults. You are deeply invested in and affected by your adult children's choices. Parents whose children choose difficult--even seemingly wrong--paths deal with heartache, disappointment, and the danger of strained or severed relationships. You need a robust theology for long-term parenting gleaned from the discipleship model Jesus exemplified, one that will carefully and thoughtfully apply his way of expressing love.Mary DeMuth has written a gracious, practical resource for wisely navigating the rocky terrain of family conflict. In this book, Mary will help you gain a better understanding of your new parental role, find reassurance that you are not alone, develop practical ways to move forward, and discover a clear path for growing in your own spiritual maturity during this phase of parenting.
Leaning on the truths of 1 Corinthians 13--the "love" chapter--the book reveals that your changing role is not the end of joy. It is an invitation for spiritual growth and a path toward fulfilling relationships with your adult children.

Love, Pray, Listen by Mary DeMuth, Parenting Your Wayward Adult Kids with Joy has an incorrect subtitle. It should be Parenting Your Adult Kids with Joy. This book is not just for parenting wayward adult children; it is extremely valuable for all parents. Honestly it’s one of the best books I’ve read recently and I read a lot. Mary’s insight and wisdom into launching your adult children, struggling through guilt of perfect parenting or trying to be the perfect parent, and raising your children with the hope their salvation has been inspirational and educational. Mary does an excellent job of pointing the reader towards prayer, scripture and examining oneself in parenting. She offers practical Biblical advice at the end of each chapter along with practical action steps. This book is a must read for Christian moms of children in the middle school, high school and post school years. I cannot recommend this book enough. I am extremely honored and privileged to have read it and better for it. I was given a free copy from the publisher for my honest review. I will be ordering several for friends. I highly recommend.
A must read!

The opportunity to read Love, Pray, Listen came at a time that I was feeling beat down and attacked by 3 out of my 4 children. Though admittedly I was not a perfect mother, I knew there is not a perfect parent out there. I felt I did my best and that overall, I was a good mother. After all, I had been told many times through the years by others that I was a good mom and that we had raised good kids. I thought my best was good enough for my children so it came as a major blow that shot straight through my heart to hear how 3 of my 4 viewed things from their childhood. I was feeling rejected and questioning the last 30 years of my life I had spent pouring myself into my children. But GOD!! MY Heavenly Father knew what I needed and restored this mama's heart and sense of self worth as a parent through Mary DeMuth and her book Love, Pray, Listen. As always, she uses scripture to refocus and view life's curveballs thrift God's lense, not ours. The first few pages are packed with so much goodness you will want to read it again and again. There are so many nuggets of truth rooted in scripture that apply to any relationship, not just with our adult children. Mary wraps up the conclusion with liberating advice for anyone that is struggling with being an empty nester or is soon to be!
