Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Your child is still alive. Still reachable by phone. Still capable of walking through your front door on any ordinary Tuesday. So why does it feel like you're grieving them anyway, and why does your faith feel too small to hold both the love and the loss at once?The Parent of the Prodigal is the book Elliot Ravendale went looking for during the hardest season of her life and couldn't find. Not a theology of blame that explains where you went wrong. Not a formula that promises your child home by a certain Sunday. A raw, Scripture-soaked account of what it actually costs to keep faith while watching someone you raised walk a road you never wanted for them.Across seven chapters, built around the old story of the father who watched for his son's return, you'll wrestle with the same questions Ravendale wrestled with. What that father's watching actually demands of a parent today. How to keep praying when your words seem to hit the ceiling and fall back down unanswered. How to sit in church and hear "How's your child doing in the Lord?" without your faith curling up in shame. How to love the way that father loved, hands open instead of clenched, without mistaking control for devotion.This isn't a book that hands you a resolved ending. Ravendale refuses that. What it offers instead is scripture wrestled with honestly, doubt named without apology, and the hard-won discovery that faith was never meant to guarantee an outcome, only to hold you steady inside one you cannot control.If you've set a place at a table that might stay empty because faith does that. If you've whispered the same prayer for years without a single sign it landed. If you've wondered whether your faith is failing simply because your child hasn't yet come home, this book already knows you.You don't have to keep this watch alone. Get your copy of The Parent of the Prodigal today and let someone walk the waiting with you, one honest page of faith at a time.
