What Remains: Faith at the Edge of Scotland (Paperback)

For years you have prayed for your adult child, quietly, where no one can see. You have watched them drift from the Church, and felt the empty place beside you at Mass. This book is the voice of a priest who has knelt in that same silence, and stayed.

If you are a Catholic parent or grandparent praying for an adult child who has left the faith, you already carry a grief that few people around you understand. What Remains was written to sit beside you in that very place, and to help you keep praying for your children when the words themselves run dry.

Fr Charles Egbon has watched the faith both flourish and fall. In Malawi he led a parish of more than thirty thousand Christians. Today he serves the Scottish Highlands, where fewer than a hundred souls gather in churches that once held thousands. He understands the ache of watching belief thin out, because he has lived inside it.

Across twenty-three short, contemplative chapters, this book gives you:

- Company in a grief few people name, so tonight feels a little less lonely.

- A way to keep praying for your children when prayer feels empty.

- Release from the guilt of wondering where you went wrong.

- Hope you can actually hold, even while the prodigal you love stays far away.

- Quiet strength rooted in Celtic spirituality and ten years at the altar.

- A deeper trust in God for the lapsed son or daughter you carry in your heart.
