Synopsis

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.

I’ve read many devotionals, but When You Love a Prodigal seems especially anointed, as though God has provided it for those who love prodigals right now—when w......more

Goodreads review by Michele on October 02, 2019

Parents of prodigals walk a hard road. When your child is home, their choices drive you crazy; when they’re out of sight, they’re never out of mind, because the phone could ring with bad news at any moment. Judy Douglass has walked this same path while also living the fishbowl life of a ministry wife......more

Goodreads review by Christina on March 01, 2021

In the past few months, I’ve used Judy Douglass’ book, “When you Love a Prodigal 90 days of grace for the wilderness” as my morning devotional. The ironic thing is, I don’t have a prodigal in the traditional sense. Still, the book has been a five-star blessing to me. I might not be living with the s......more

Figuring out how to love and walk with an adult child who makes destructive decisions is one of the most challenging and heartbreaking experiences for a parent.

Goodreads review by Michelle on May 12, 2022

This book had a lot of great insight. I wish it had just been formatted as a book, and not broken down into 90 days of readings. That format made for repetitiveness and some days being too much info and some days being scarce. Overall though, a great resource with support, encouragement, and tools f......more
