So You Love A Prodigal: What You Can'T Do, What You Can Do, Why You Can'T Quit

Where are the prodigals we love, and when will they come home? Too many of us know the pain and despair of loving a prodigal. In So You Love a Prodigal, author and poet Rita Aiken Moritz meets the readers where they are in their brokenness and walks with them through the heartbreak of loving a prodigal. With a conversational approach, she dares to address questions such as, "Why my family?" and "Who's to blame?" Encouragement, hope, and a call to action are the central themes of So You Love a Prodigal. Readers are assured with simple words and Biblical examples that God is still in control, their story isn't finished, and they are not alone.
