A Prodigal's Return

Loving parents of young children naturally hope their little ones will grow up to follow a wholesome, positive lifestyle, filled with good choices and success. Some, who tried their best to raise their children well, are disappointed when their teen or young adult strays into unhealthy, careless, or unwise habits and choices. When that youth has also moved far away, parental stress and anxiety increase. How does a prodigal season start? How does it finish? What are six life lessons the prodigal will learn during his or her journey? What is the reason for parents' hope for their child living far away and struggling to return? In A Prodigal's Return D. J. Young offers fresh hope, new insights, and a strategy for families in crisis. His clear examination of Jesus' story of the "Prodigal Son" offers strength to face uncertainty and heartache, and a strategy for coping, while believing and waiting for a prodigal's return.
