Wayward children. There aren't many things as painful as witnessing our own children stray from the faith and dive headlong into destructive behavior patterns. Parents & Prodigals was written to present a strategy on bringing prodigal children home to vital faith and community. Each chapter reveals steps the Good Shepherd deems necessary to bring restoration to His lost sheep. The greatest measure of love for prodigals is found in God's heart; no one has a greater desire to seek and save the lost than Jesus. In Parents & Prodigals, you will learn the great length shepherds will go to when rescuing "bummer lambs," gain greater insight on the value of the one silver coin lost and realize that the "Parable of the Lost Son" has more to do with the actions of the Prodigal's parent than the quandary the son got himself into. Parents & Prodigals exposes the schemes Satan will use, specifically bitterness, to steal, kill, and destroy, unveils how damaging the work of iniquity is in families, and leads parents into effective spiritual warfare strategy by giving them the following: ten crucial steps before entering spiritual warfare, the understanding that prodigals need a change of nature rather than simply a change in behavior, greater insight on how we can stand in the gap for prodigals to turn their hearts toward home, and offers drastic measures that may be necessary in certain situations. This book is written to restore hope for backslidden children and adults. It is released with a prayer for God to equip every parent and Pastor to walk in the love and the wisdom of the Word of God and the God of the Word.
