JoDell Mitchell's Newly Released "Heartbeat" Is a Powerful Book of Hope for Families in Crisis
"Heartbeat" from Christian Faith Publishing author JoDell Mitchell is an encouraging book that aims to extend wisdom and comfort to families of wayward children, offering pragmatic, biblical principles for dealing with the situation through the true story of God's intervention in the life of the author's own prodigal son returned home.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Heartbeat": a lifeline for the lost. "Heartbeat" is the creation of published author JoDell Mitchell, the late married mother, gifted teacher, volleyball coach, and accomplished minister who is survived by her pastor husband and two adult sons.
Mitchell writes, "Our son was going through a difficult time in life. Some said he was 'working on his testimony'.
During that difficult time when we didn't know where he was, what he was doing, or even if he was alive, God gave Jim a verse from Isaiah 57:18 'I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will lead him and restore comfort to him and to his mourners.' (NASB)
This became our promise to our son. A promise that took us through the heartbreak of a prodigal into the healing of our hearts and the restoration of a young prodigal. Today that prodigal is serving the Lord, has a beautiful wife and 3 great children with another one due to the middle of 2018.
This book started as 'our story'. But as we have talked with many parent and grandparent over the years we discovered there are countless hurting families that long for 'the prodigal to come home'. The truth be told, this story is really about the loving, faithfulness of a gracious heavenly Father that loves us and our kids and grandkids even more than we do.
Life's hard, these days, for our children. When you 'lose them to the world', what do you do?"
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, JoDell Mitchell's new book is a stirring guide to help the reader regain focus and find concrete solutions to maintain the family—and their own sanity—amidst life's storms.
At its core, the Mitchells' story demonstrates the very real and powerful love of the heavenly Father that adamantly pursues, fights for, and wins back even those whom society deems a lost cause.
