Wild Child Ministries – prodigal and wayward, rebellious children

Bringing Home the Prodigals by Rob Parsons (Colorado Springs: Authentic Publishing, 2007). The book can be found on Focus on the Family’s web site.

Back Cover: “This book is for anyone who has cried for a prodigal. This is for anyone who has whispered ‘Where did I go wrong?’ This is for anyone who wants to create a home and a church where prodigals will be welcomed.” With practical advice, Rob Parsons stirs our hearts as he urges families and churches to show prodigals unconditional love as we pray them home. Sprinkled with stories, reflections, and prayers, a few of the chapters are: “Always Leave a Light On; Who are the prodigals?; Letting Go of False Guilt,” and ”Stop Judging and Start Sharing,” Josh McDowell states, “This book can help prevent tragedy.” Dr. Rowan Williams (Archbishop of Canterbury) comments, “Bringing Home the Prodigals is both deeply practical and deeply moving; it reacquaints us with the very center of the gospel of Jesus.”
