Review of “Prayers of Blessing Over My Adult Children” by Bruce Wilkinson and Heather Hair

Publisher Description

Pray that your children will walk in God’s blessing

You never stop caring about your children, even once they’ve become adults. Your influence in their lives may lessen as they grow, yet no matter the state of the relationship between you and your children–or your children and God–you will always have one powerful tool to use on their behalf: prayer.

Prayers of Blessing over My Adult Children will help you express compassion for your children’s struggles while deepening your trust in God. With daily scripture and devotionals, New York Timesbestselling author Bruce Wilkinson shares his three-step guided prayer method based on established biblical prayer patterns, helping you develop the wisdom and boldness to approach God with a spirit of dependence, gratitude, and praise.

No matter what season of life your now-grown children are in, Prayers of Blessing over My Adult Children will help you surrender their problems and your own to God, bringing you peace through the recognition that He alone is in control.

My Review:

Reading this book is almost like sitting in a small group and hearing encouraging and inspiring counsel directly  from the authors. The first chapters set the groundwork for parenting adult children; and the authors acknowledge both the pain and the triumphs that come from raising children.  There’s a section directed especially to parents who children have made poor choices, but there’s also encouragement for those parents whose children are grounded spiritually and living a fulfilled life.  

I think the prayer section of the book is heart-touching, and as the author states, can be a springboard on to how to prayer for adult children.  I especially loved the section about praying specific areas for your child to grow to become more like Christ.  This is a great book to have in your shelf to turn to during those times you might be especially concerned about and praying for your adult or teen child.


I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
