Ruth Bell Graham knew about prodigals--two of her five children
were spiritual wanderers. This is not a "how to" book that
dispenses easy advice on ways to win back a prodigal. Instead, it
is a collection of readings one woman turned to for comfort when
her children wandered from God. It shows how Graham's faith
persevered and grew regardless of the outcome of her prodigals'
stories.
Part One introduces readers to five prodigals who "returned to the
father." Part Two offers comfort and encouragement through
Scripture, poems, hymns, prayers, and more. Readers will be touched
by the honest feelings of pain, frustration, and uncertainty Graham
expresses so eloquently. And they will share in the lessons she
learned about God's sovereignty and ultimate peace. Now beautifully
repackaged, Prodigals and Those Who Love Them brings peace
and hope to all parents of "wayward" children.
