Our son was going through a difficult time in life. Some said he was "working on his testimony". During that difficult time when we didn't know where he was, what he was doing, or even if he was alive, God gave Jim a verse from Isaiah 57:18 "I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will lead him and restore comfort to him and to his mourners." (NASB) This became our promise to our son. A promise that took us through the heartbreak of a prodigal into the healing of our hearts and the restoration of a young prodigal. Today that prodigal is serving the Lord, has a beautiful wife and 3 great children with another one due to the middle of 2018. This book started as "our story". But as we have talked with many parent and grandparent over the years we discovered there are countless hurting families that long for "the prodigal to come home". The truth be told, this story is really about the loving, faithfulness of a gracious heavenly Father that loves us and our kids and grandkids even more than we do. Life's hard, these days, for our children. When you "lose them to the world", what do you do? The principles of this book will help you bring everything back into focus and find real, concrete solutions to keep your sanity in the middle of the storm.
