So You Love a Prodigal: What You Cant Do, What You Can Do, Why You Cant 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.

What people are saying about So You Love a Prodigal:

"You'll connect with Rita's open and honest conversation. You'll feel like she knows you, almost as if she's been where you are. She doesn't sugarcoat anything. She presents the good news that God loves, saves, forgives, and redeems--over and over again. These pages are filled with biblical truth and stories that will break your heart and then open it to God's healing."
