Parenting Prodigals (softcover)

Their stories will break your heart. Older adults often share the stories of their grown children who have turned their backs on God, and sometimes, on their parents. At the end of their stories, most of the parents ask the poignant question, “What did I do wrong?” That question haunts them. Their hearts seek answers to the past, present and future relationship with their prodigal son or daughter.

In Parenting Prodigals, senior adult expert, Phil Waldrep, answers the questions parents of prodigals are asking. Based on his interviews with prodigals and his study of the Scriptures, Phil Waldrep discusses and applies six principles every parent can use to bring their prodigal back to God. Using real-life examples, Parenting Prodigals shows parents how to:

• Live Guilt-Free from the Actions of their Prodigal
• Ask for Forgiveness for Past Mistakes
• Love their Child Unconditionally
• Allow their Prodigal to Face the Consequences of their Decisions
• Guard their Words
• Pray Specifically for their Children
