Life can be hard when you grow up
in the home of a world-famous evangelist. The expectations are high, and
sometimes children will rebel. This is the story of Andrew Palau's
journey from rebellion to a wonderful relationship with God.
Rebellion comes in many forms, some
worse than others. Andrew's bad choices didn't start out big, but
gradually he became involved in situations that weren't safe. While his
parents never stopped praying for him, Andrew knew he was hurting them.
But running to Europe, running out of money, trying to make his own way
through the world filled with drugs and alcohol, and ignoring the
whispers of God only made Andrew more discontent. Then he met Wendy and
finally wanted to make some changes. Did they happen overnight? No, but
today Andrew has a ministry and a happiness that can't be compared to
anything the world has to offer. Are you the parent of a rebellious
child? Are you that rebellious child? This book should offer you some
hope that love and prayer can get you through to the other side.
I enjoyed this book because it was
honest and real. So many times people give up on young people, when we
should be praying for them. Do all of these kids return to Christ? No,
sadly some stories don't have happy endings, but this story will bring
you the power of prayer and love, and the reality that God continues to
wait for us. This book is not only for individual readers, but book groups can find a lot to discuss within its pages.
