Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Previously published as Why Do Good People Have Bad Children? by R. E. Williams."Why do loving, faithful, hardworking parents sometimes watch their children make destructive choices?For many parents, few pains run deeper than seeing a son or daughter turn away from the values, faith, and principles they were taught. The questions can become overwhelming: Where did I go wrong? Was I a bad parent? Could I have prevented this? Is there still hope?In Why Do Good People Have Bad Children?, R. E. Williams draws from more than forty years of preaching, his experience as an elder and minister, his life as a husband and father of three sons, and the timeless wisdom of Scripture to address these difficult questions with honesty, compassion, and hope.The Bible does not hide the struggles of families. Adam had Cain. Eli's sons dishonored God. Samuel's sons did not walk in his ways. David was a man after God's own heart, yet his household experienced rebellion, immorality, violence, and grief. These accounts remind us that even faithful parents cannot make every decision for their children.This book explores the balance between parental responsibility and a child's freedom to choose. It discusses teaching children at home, setting boundaries, building convictions instead of merely enforcing rules, choosing friends wisely, correcting deliberate disobedience without punishing honest mistakes, and understanding that the purpose of discipline is training-not anger, embarrassment, or revenge.Williams also shares personal lessons learned while raising his own children and from the wisdom of older Christians who helped shape his understanding of parenting.Most importantly, this book offers hope to parents who are hurting. A child's bad decision does not have to be the final chapter. Prodigals can return. Hearts can change. Relationships can heal. And faithful parents can continue to love, pray, teach, and trust God without carrying guilt for choices they did not make.Why Do Good People Have Bad Children? is a biblical and practical message for parents, grandparents, ministers, church leaders, and anyone who loves a child who has chosen a difficult road.There can be responsibility without condemnation, correction without cruelty, grief without despair-and hope even when the road home seems long.
