#5. Tell us something funny, sad, embarrassing, whatever, that happened involving this book.
I like to say that the tears flowed down my cheeks as the words flowed from my fingers to the keyboard. The tears were so heavy that my desk would be soaked at times. As I recounted the heartbrokenness in many seasons when all three of my teens and young adults were in the dark pit of the world’s evil lure and enticements. Those were painful memories. But I was so happy to share with tears of joy the hope that they all became whole, healed, delivered, and free!

#11. Share with us a thought, Bible verse, whatever is on your mind/heart.
God was the first prodigal Father. He gave Adam and Eve a wonderful life and asked them not to do one thing. Then they disobeyed. God knows our heartache and pain when our children fall away from the faith and values we have for them. So, we must partner with God, He’s our Father, too, He has trusted us to steward His children, that are ours here on earth. Then we need to Pray with the power of the blood of Jesus Christ and trust that God will touch them, bring them home, and heal our families.

More from Laine
I would love to introduce my friend, best-selling and award-winning author, whom you may not know yet with a little of the behind the scenes insight. She’s a mom, wife, and partners with God making impossible things become possible not only in her life but for thousands of others. She has a unique perspective because she had a seventeen-year-old marriage resurrect, a financial breakthrough after almost filing bankruptcy, a daughter healed from life-threatening illnesses, and three prodigal children delivered that are now free, whole, and healed. In 2006, she realized that what she was doing as a parent was not working. It seemed that her emotional pleas, rules, and religion weren’t helping her bring her prodigal back home. So she decided and made it my mission to partner with God at a whole new level and created a new way of parenting – one that would bring peace to her life, help millions of other parents, and bring their prodigals back home too. Her newest book, The Parent’s Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal is a must-read book to help parent’s with wayward teens and young adults.
