Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
Very Encouraging!
I bought this book many years ago. As I read through the pages, I remember wishing that someone had recommended it to me as I had struggled with the question, “Where did I go wrong?“. I would also highly recommend the book, “Rebel With a Cause“ written by Franklin Graham, the son of Ruth and Billy Graham. Reading of the freedom that Ruth gave her son to find his way was enlightening and at times humorous. Yet I know that behind the freedom Franklin was given, was a mother who, on her knees, had first given him to God.
