When You Love A Prodigal
JUDY DOUGLASS
Perhaps one of the hardest pains for a parent to endure is when a child makes dangerous choices that are sure to lead to life-changing consequences. Judy Douglass, author of When You Love a Prodigal, knows this anguish first hand yet her story focuses on how parenting her son Josh drove her to the heart of Jesus where she learned truths about herself and the life-transforming power of God’s grace. In this conversation with Sharon Betters, Judy talks about how it was in the darkness that she discovered the power of prayer. Judy’s story is not only instructive for parents of a prodigal but brings hope to those who are in the “prodigal child waiting room”. Judy is the founder and host of Prayer for Prodigals, an online worldwide community for those who love someone who is making destructive choices.
