Summary

PRODUCT SUMMARY BRING SOLID, BIBLICAL HELP TO HURTING FAMILIES OF PRODIGALS. How can parents help their son or daughter who has wandered from God and His ways? Often they've tried everything: begging, praying, arguing, reasoning, making rules, and setting boundaries. But nothing works. What more can they do? Author Robert J. Margan has been there. His book helps parents claim scriptural promises and shows how they can participate in God's work in their pradigal's life. With pradigals, there are never any guaranteees, but there can be a sense of peace.
