The story unfolds anew in countless families; a prodigal child breaks family ties and hearts. Parents despair, grieve, and pray.When children choose the way of the prodigal, what parenting lessons can we learn from how God parents us? Examining the Parable of the Prodigal Son through a twenty-first century lens, Dr. Lon Flippo grapples with explosive family issues. With raw emotions and personal insight, he shares a modern-day parable of love, loss, and restoration and then tackles the problems families of prodigals know all too well, revealing the prescription in God's Word and offering practical applications for today's families. iParent inspires weary parents of prodigals to faithfully trust, unswervingly love, and extravagantly love.

About this title

From the Author:

This book is dedicated to helping parents or guardians move from guilt, shame, and blame to inspired parenting born of a sense of spiritual strength and biblically defined core values. This book has been designed to provide insight as to why children choose unhealthy behaviors above God, disregarding what parents have taught them.

From the Inside Flap:

To begin, we will examine the biblical Parable of the Prodigal Son through a twenty-first century lens. Instead of reviewing the traditional expose` of God's love for the lost, we'll learn fresh lessons for parenting in the modern world, where rebellion and prodigality are viewed as normal and even encouraged. As parents, how can we show love to those closest to us--our own children? How can we parent our children as God parents us--even if they choose the way of the prodigal?
