Loving Your Prodigal Child with Guest Ruth Bell Graham
Despite Christian parents making much effort and intentionality in raising their children to follow God, many have experienced the disappointing rebellion of a prodigal child. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the late Ruth Bell Graham explains that she can relate to the anguish parents face, but she also offers hope to mothers and fathers who suffer residual pain. The author of Prodigals and Those Who Love Them, Ruth reveals how Ned and Franklin, her two sons, strayed from the narrow path. Emphasizing the importance of unconditional love, she shares the intriguing story of former slave trader John Newton. Her advice to parents? Remember God’s faithfulness.
