Pathways of a Prodigal

You've done everything right. You've raised your child in the ways of the Lord. You've modeled the heart of Christ. You've instructed them in right and wrong. Yet, the unthinkable happens-your once obedient and faith-filled child has become a prodigal. The pain is unbearable, and the walk of faith is long and hard.

If you are the parent of a prodigal, you need hope-and lots of it! In Pathways of a Prodigal, Jelly Valimont gives all parents of prodigals that hope. It will help you:

-Trust and surrender your prodigal's pathway back to Him.

-Recognize the subtle signs that your child may be drifting.

-Disallow the absence of your prodigal to rule your life.

-Resist the temptation to rescue your child.

-Lean on your faith community to pray your child back home.

-Restore broken familial relationships upon your prodigal's return.

Nothing can prepare you for parenting a prodigal, but you can be certain of one thing: God is preparing them to run back into His arms.
