Are you the parent of a prodigal? "Every Sunday morning at our house we argue about whether or not my son is going to chruch...." "Allison seems to be associating with kids whos values seem quite different from ours..." "John comes and goes as he pleases. Sometimes he disappears for days at a time, and he never tells us where he's been." It's not a modern-day problem. The Old Testament abounds with stories of those who strayed from their parents and from God. Jesus told a parable of the prodigal Son who squandered his inheritance and lived among pigs. How did parents in Bible times deal with their wayward children? How does God teach parents of today to cope with their own prodigal Child? Let D. James Kennedy show you how God's love and patience with His own prodigal children will help you find the patience, love, mercy and compassion you need with your prodigal child - as well as how to deal with your own emotions and fears during this family crisis.

This book uses the parable of the prodigal son as a framework for Christian parents facing children who have departed from the faith they were raised in. This book takes away the "shame" felt by many Christian parents that keeps them from getting help from others in the church by making it clear that their children's spiritual direction is not in the control of the parents but belongs to the child (Ezekiel 18). The book then provides helpful in-depth family evangelism advice about how to love children who are in unhealthy and immoral life styles. Filled with personal stories and sound theology this book combines practicality, warmth, and truth in an unusual blend.
