The Power of Hope for Prodigals: Prepare the Way Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780982416044)

Karen Sebastian was born to Bill and Betty Pritchett and spent most of her childhood on the mission field where she saw lives transformed through the hope of Jesus Christ. Karen met her husband, Bill Sebastian, at Pacific Life College where they both trained for ministry. Together, Karen and Bill served on the mission field in Central America, and later as pastors in California and Texas, bringing hope to thousands as they faithfully ministered the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Church and in the marketplace. After enduring the heartache of infertility, the Sebastians were blessed with the gift of adopting a precious baby girl and later giving birth to two biological children. The Lord used the transforming power of hope to powerfully impact their lives as they raised their three children and to persevere through a painful journey to see their prodigal come home. Because of this, Karen became known as "The Hope Lady" as she began using her gifts to speak hope into the lives of others. Today Karen continues to minister hope to thousands in conferences, writings, and through her company, HOPEpreneurs. The Sebastians live in Grand Prairie, Texas, and are the proud grandparents of five amazing boys. They treasure moments with family and always hold fast to hope.
