Fledge

“At Focus on the Family, we often hear from families who are watching their kids graduate from high school and transition from childhood into the adult world. It can be a challenging time for moms in particular. In Fledge, Brenda L. Yoder provides sensitive, biblical wisdom for moms who want to help their kids launch well.”

—Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family

“In just a few short years, our children will be moving on to college. As parents, we really want to prepare them (and ourselves!) well. Fledge is exactly what our family needs: a Christ-centered perspective of the future, with the biblical tools to approach the changes well. I’ll be recommending this book to all my friends in the same stage of life.”

—Jessie Clemence, author of I Could Use a Nap and a Million Dollars

“Hidden inside the celebrations of family life, the graduations, weddings, and milestones are the pain of loss that many of us experience as our children become independent adults and no longer need us in the same way. As with all grief, unless the story of its source has purpose and meaning, it can drag us down. In Fledge, Brenda L. Yoder gives us that purpose and meaning and sits with us in our pain.”

—Curt Weaver, pastor of children and youth, Portland (Ore.) Mennonite Church
