What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Our friend Gaye Clark has written a wise book on a weighty topic—long-term parental love. With engaging illustrations and biblical examples, Clark helps us care for our adult children more meaningfully. And even better, she helps us look to our Father God as we love our adult children. We—and they—are not alone in this journey.”
—Ray and Jani Ortlund, President and Executive Vice President, Renewal Ministries

“There are precious few resources to help guide parents in the launch phase of their parenting years. As a father of a child in college and three more soon to follow, I am thankful for the wisdom of this book. Being a mom or dad to an adult child is complicated and fraught with potential landmines. With experience, biblical wisdom, and grace, Gaye Clark helps families move into this new season of life. You will want this book in your library.”
—Daniel Darling, Director, The Land Center for Cultural Engagement; author, A Way with Words; Agents of Grace; and The Dignity Revolution

“We never stop being parents, but what does parenting look like when our children are grown? Gaye Clark’s book, Loving Your Adult Children, is a gospel-saturated, grace-infused, and Christ-exalting look at parenting adult children. She points our gaze to the one who loves our children best. As a parent on the cusp of being an empty nester, I needed this book. You will too.”
—Christina Fox, counselor; speaker; author, Like Our Father: How God Parents Us and Why That Matters for Our Parenting
