When Children Walk Away from Jesus

Comfort and Hope for Parents of Prodigals

About this book

You did your best to raise your child to follow Jesus, but they walked away from him.

Perhaps like the younger prodigal son in the Bible story, they embrace a rebellious lifestyle. Maybe, like the older son, they try to live a moral life apart from Jesus. In either case, they seem hopelessly far from God. 

Drawing on over four decades of pastoral experience, Paul Mallard shares practical wisdom and biblical truths that will give you comfort, courage and hope in the gospel. 

You will be helped to…

  • persevere in prayer
  • nurture loving relationships with your adult child
  • have courage as you share and reflect the gospel
  • process feelings of guilt and grief
  • cast your hope on the Lord

Gentle, practical and honest, When Children Walk Away from Jesus offers renewal and support as you continue to point your grown-up child to the one who is mighty to save. 

Each chapter is followed by reflection questions that can also be discussed with a spouse or in a support group for parents of prodigals.
