Synopsis

Many families today experience the profound guilt and shame filled pain of seeing a child walk away from their faith and values. Churches and parents feel powerless to change the relationship and engage the prodigal in positive ways. Carol Barnier has the insight to help. She left the faith of her pastor father, became an active atheist, debated Christians, and explored a variety of worldviews before she found the truth in a relationship with Jesus.

But far more than her personal story, Engaging Today's Prodigal equips readers with a better understanding of a prodigal's motivation, useful responses that won't prevent reconciliation, clear boundaries to protect themselves and other children, actions to take when you know you have contributed to the problem, and the value of realistic expectations. With effective wit and humor, Carol provides material relevant for churches, parents and even the prodigals themselves.

Can your family or church interact with a prodigal in ways that build a relationship bridge that can provide a way back home when they are ready? Let Engaging Today's Prodigal equip you with clear, specific actions that can overcome the shame, hurt, and loss to bring real hope for the future.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

If you struggle as a parent to read the Bible yourself, how can you pass a love for God’s Word along to your children?

Like all Christian parents we long to raise our children "in the fear and discipline of the Lord." Carrie's wonderful little book models one simple but profoundly important way we can do that – reading God's Word together. - Tim & Aileen Challies

If you have an appetite for spiritual growth and authentic intimacy with God, be ready to “digest” this wonderful, practical book. - Karen Loritts

This is the answer to the next generation of Jesus lovers!! - Fern Nichols

I so wish this book would havebeen available when I was raising my four children. - Janet Parshall

Carrie calls us to persevere as parents and not to become weary in well doing. Her insights are wise, practical, helpful, and encouraging. - Bob & Mary Ann Lepine

Carrie brings the prescription for biblical illiteracy to our homes in this fantastic, fun read. Her warm and personal writing style is filled with real life reality, but presses you on to hunger for the Word. – Dannah Gresh

 

As a new mother I was eager to hear from Carrie, a wise and experienced mother.  – Kristyn Getty
