More About This Title The Truth About Prodigals

English

This robustly biblical book addresses the matter of why children from Christian homes sometimes grow up without any serious regard for God and the things of God. Tracing several biblical characters and events, Will Simmons helpfully draws lines of application from them to life in our day, giving wise and practical counsel to parents and loved ones of adult prodigal children.

English

English

As is typical for my friend Will Simmons, his book deals with a difficult subject by viewing it through the lens of the Word of God. His tough but tender admonitions combine the counsel of the Word with his own gracious style. Will’s book confronts the real problems with the only viable solution: submission to Christ by both prodigals and parents!
