Summary: It often begins with a phone call. It may be from a police officer, teacher, pastor, friend, or even from your son or daughter Whoever it is, they are telling you something you never wanted to hear, something that causes you to go weak with shock, disbelief, and dismay."Mom, Dad, "I'm gay.""I'm pregnant.""I'm living with my girlfriend.""Your son has been arrested for selling drugs.""I'm moving out, I can't stand you or your religion anymore."Such words shake the very foundations of a home and family. Everything you've worked for, prayed for, and sacrificed for has just crumbled. Where do you go from here? Loving a Prodigal is not a "how-to" quick fix for parents of prodigals; rather it reads more like a wise companion coming alongside to bear the pain, understand the struggle, and to offer insights gleaned from the kiln of experience. Norman Wright, a Gold Medallion winner, is the author of over sixty books. He is a marriage and family counselor and former professor at the Talbot School Of Theology and Biola University. He and his wife, Joyce, have been married for over forty years and live in Long Beach, California.
