For anyone waiting for a prodigal's return.  
  
There is perhaps nothing that brings more angst to a parent's heart than waiting for a prodigal to return home. Beloved author Ruth Bell Graham knew about prodigals--two of her five children were spiritual wanderers. In this time-tested classic, she offers encouragement to those who anxiously wait.  
  
This is not a "how to" book that dispenses 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.   
  
In Part One, Graham introduces you to five prodigals who "returned to the father." In Part Two, she offers comfort and encouragement through Scripture, poems, hymns, prayers, and more. You will be touched by the honest feelings of pain, frustration, and uncertainty Graham expresses so eloquently. And you 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.

The Good Book Stall

Originally published in 1991  
This book is divided into two parts. The first part tells the moving stories of men and women who have turned away from the Christian faith to seek a different life, and then later return to the Father’s love. These accounts will touch the heart of any parent whose son or daughter has rebelled against their Christian upbringing. The second part of the book has collections of scripture, poems, hymns and words of encouragement for any parent who has a ‘prodigal’ child. This book is written from the pain of one parent who has gone through this and in this sharing, attempts to reach out to others who find themselves in a similar situation.
