Parenting a prodigal is unpleasant. Often a host of emotions hitch a ride on the journey: guilt, despair, rejection, judgment, fear, impatience, uncertainty, and disappointment. James Banks knows the path I'm on with my prodigal. His wisdom comes from well-worn experience.
Prayers for Prodigals: 90 Days of Prayer for Your Child is broken into 13 weeks of entries. Banks introduces each week with a personal essay. Each day offers a prayer, supported by Scripture, covering all the topics parents of prodigals must face. This book encourages the reader to "partner with God, through prayer, to change your child's eternal future by bringing your son or daughter into a vital relationship with Jesus. Nothing in this world or the next could possibly matter more." This book is very helpful, encouraging, and reassuring.
