Help! My Family Is Broken

The loss and heartache which results from the separation or divorce of parents often impacts our lives in significant ways. But there is hope. The Bible showcases God’s gracious, restoring work in the lives of hurting people belonging to broken families. Written from personal experience, this mini-book offers practical guidance for the real-life issues you face at home and encourages you to take shelter in the God who never forsakes His own.

God never throws away broken things like we do. He is committed to making all things new (Revelation 21:5). He is the Master Craftsman, the great Restorer. He demonstrates the supremacy of His wisdom and power when He creates beauty out of brokenness.

The LifeLine mini-books have a long history of biblical faithfulness while clearly explaining how the Scriptures apply to life’s struggles. It is wonderful that this series is now expanding to address issues that teens face. We all know that the issues being faced by today’s teens, their parents and disciplers are very challenging. I’m thankful that these booklets will address the current issues not only with biblical faithfulness but clear biblical, practical application.

— Dr. Ernie Baker

Teens struggle with constantly changing moods, overpowering emotional extremes, identity uncertainty, friendship conflicts, and paralyzing doubts about how God is relevant to their struggles.... These booklets will show not only the sufficiency of the Bible, but also its relevancy for the problems youth face today.

“Unlike the many counseling resources we can find for adults, there are few directly relatable to teens and the issues they face. These mini-books bring the Scriptures to bear in a relevant way for both teens and those ministering to them.”
