Synopsis Prodigals by : Greg Jackson
Adrift in lives of possibility and limitation, the flawed, struggling and sympathetic characters of these desperate, eerie stories seek refuge from meaninglessness and boredom in love, art, friendship, drugs, and sex. A journalist is either the guest or captive of a reclusive former tennis star at his mansion in the French hills; a terrible storm forces a man and a woman, who may be his therapist, to flee New York together; the artistic ambitions of a banker are laid bare when he comes under the influence of two strange sisters. Unflinching, funny and profound, Prodigals maps the degradations of contemporary life - from the deification of celebrity, to the impotence of violence, to the psychological debts of privilege, to the loss of grand narratives - with unusual insight, sincerity, and passion. It is a fiercely honest and heartfelt look at what we have become, the comedy of our foibles, and our longing for home.

Synopsis When You Love a Prodigal by : Judy Douglass
Loving a prodigal is a long and desperate journey, filled with fear, worry, anger, self- recrimination. You wait for the phone call--will it be from jail or the hospital? You plead with your loved one. You search for help. You feel the shame. You cry out to God, "How long, Lord?" Author Judy Douglass knows these lovers of prodigals well. She is one herself and has created a large and growing community with others. When You Love a Prodigal is a collection of 90 essays--90 days of perspective on what God offers to you as you love your prodigal. At the end of each brief essay, response questions will help you process how God intends to use the wilderness journey to mold your spiritual life. You can work through it day by day, or you can read it straight through. Judy has traveled this road with her own prodigal--reading, learning, praying, and seeking God. Over and over he continued to give her wisdom, he sustained her, he covered her with grace, and he filled her with hope. May you, too, be strengthened and filled with hope as together you discover how God will take you through your own valley.

Synopsis The Prodigal God by : Timothy Keller
The New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet uncovers the essential message of Jesus, locked inside his most familiar parable. Newsweek called renowned minister Timothy Keller "a C.S. Lewis for the twenty-first century" in a feature on his first book, The Reason for God. In that book, he offered a rational explanation of why we should believe in God. Now, in The Prodigal God, Keller takes his trademark intellectual approach to understanding Christianity and uses the parable of the prodigal son to reveal an unexpected message of hope and salvation. Within that parable Jesus reveals God's prodigal grace toward both the irreligious and the moralistic. This book will challenge both the devout and skeptics to see Christianity in a whole new way.

Synopsis The Prodigals by : Milton C Cantellay, Jr
The Prodigals is not a classic dystopian fiction or EMP fiction The Raydon family are not trapped in an authoritarian society where they have to survive against an oppressive government. The premise is one of a societal collapse where the familiar and comfortable have been suddenly jerked away, and people are left to deal with the aftermath. An aftermath that blurs the lines between conventional norms of behavior in civil society and what is now required to survive. Many books are currently being published that examines the total collapse of America. Stories where all hope is lost, and what was before will not return. My book is written from a different perspective. Even though the US has been severely impacted, the vast majority of people still hope that the old way of life will return. In fact, the government is still operating but is so pressed by events on a global scale that it must subjugate the homeland to its secondary priority.This novel, the first in its series, is a family saga. It looks at a family spread out across the state of Washington as they attempt to make it back to the family ranch tucked away in a remote location. Their circumstances are complicated by the attack that has been launched, a coordinated EMP attack by North Korea and Iran that has decimated the civilian infrastructure. The American military is still a functioning force and very capable, but must first deal with the external threat or risk losing the country entirely. That situation means that cities must adjust to this reality with little assistance from the hampered Federal government. This quickly becomes an impossible task for large cities already overburdened with crowding, homelessness, drug abuse, and gangs. Although most people are confident that recovery will happen, they must, nevertheless, deal with the immediate impact of no sanitation, no medical care, no power, no transportation, lack of food, and lack of security. There are those in this new reality that will make every attempt to profit from it, those that will simply try to survive it, those that will fight back against it, and those that will band together to make the best of it. The Raydon family are not preppers or survivalists. They simply realize that the best place to be is united. Together they can try to ride things out until the country can recover, and order is restored. Each member of the family begins the journey home in the dark. Literally, as the EMP has turned off most of the lights, but figuratively as well. They are in the dark about each other, not knowing how others in the family are doing, even after joining together in the dark about the future. Each of us can relate to the drama as we ponder what would happen within our own families should the unthinkable strike.

Synopsis Prodigals and Those Who Love Them by : Ruth Bell Graham
Ruth Bell Graham knew about prodigals--two of her five children were spiritual wanderers. This is not a "how to" book that dispenses easy advice on ways to win back a prodigal. Instead, it is a collection of readings one woman turned to for comfort when her children wandered from God. It shows how Graham's faith persevered and grew regardless of the outcome of her prodigals' stories. Part One introduces readers to five prodigals who "returned to the father." Part Two offers comfort and encouragement through Scripture, poems, hymns, prayers, and more. Readers will be touched by the honest feelings of pain, frustration, and uncertainty Graham expresses so eloquently. And they will share in the lessons she learned about God's sovereignty and ultimate peace. Now beautifully repackaged, Prodigals and Those Who Love Them brings peace and hope to all parents of "wayward" children.
