Prodigal Parent Process

I was really grateful to find this book. So many of us parents who have prodigals feel unseen and ignored. This book helped me to see that God gave us all a free will, and it was the prodigal's decision to walk away from the faith that they were brought up with. Parents are not to take responsibility. This book was mainly written for parents with grown children; therefore, I don't understand why a publisher would use the light gray print for parents who possibly don't have the best eyesight at that time in their lives. It was hard to read and I had to keep stopping because of the light gray print.

THis book is changing lives of many parents of prodigal sons and daughters! great that principles in the book can applied in marital problems and other situations.

This is unlike any other book I’ve read, thank you for focusing on us as a parent!! I believe I have many new strategies to help me survive this time in our life with our prodigal!

This book is Awesome as And the timing was perfect for me as I am in the prodigal process with a family member.Highly recommend this book to anyone to help understand the reasoning your child my have left home . The Prodigal Story in the Bible is explained in a way in this book that I never looked at before. The decisions of the Prodigal were not because of the father. They were if the Prodigal. Free Will.

Many families have prodigal children & we worry so much & blame ourselves. I read this in one sitting. It was such a help.

I can’t tell you how much this book has helped my husband and me walk through a difficult time with our prodigal children. Through each chapter, we’ve experienced more and more freedom, even as we are experiencing very real pain. I encourage every parent struggling with a prodigal child to buy a copy of the book. You’ll receive the practical counsel and insight of someone who’s walked through it with thousands of families.

As a former prodigal and a parent of a prodigal, I found the Prodigal Parent Process helpful in reassuring and reminding me that God is faithful to reveal Himself to each one of us. How we respond is a personal decision. This truth is stated and reinforced throughout the book and it helped to remove another layer of the guilt that I felt & responsibility that I took for my child’s choices.Weiss matter-of-factly teaches about the prodigal process and instructs us parents on how to keep moving forward, free from regret.The practical steps of releasing anger and playing out forgiveness were truly helpful.I highly recommend this book to every prodigal parent, along with James Banks’ book, Prayers for Prodigals - 90 Days of Prayer for Your Child.

Love this book so much, I bought the workbook and dvd’s and have started studying this in our church’s small group! Hoping to start maybe a class at church on this. It is so needed!
