When a family estrangement occurs it is usually swift and without explanation, at least for the family member abandoned. It is a growing problem in church congregations. Why? This book shows how the groundwork for this phenomenon started and its purpose to deconstruct God's family. With biblical understanding of the phenomenon an estranged parent or child will find comfort in the Word of God because He knows the pain of being estranged. "For all we like sheep have gone astray." In other words, we are all estranged from God. In His love for His rebellious children He provided a way to be reconciled with Him in the work of Jesus Christ on the cross. That path is the same one leading to reconciliation or healing of family estrangement. This book recognizes the pain of estrangement and looks to scripture for God's example of coping with the pain and building a productive grateful life in His presence, "I will be their God and they will be My people and I will dwell among them." God is faithful and Christ is sufficient even in the greatest loss.
