Reseña del libro "So You Love a Prodigal: What You Can't Do, What You Can Do, Why You Can't Quit: Companion Workbook (en Inglés)"
This Workbook is intended to supplement the So You Love a Prodigal book. By reading the corresponding chapter in the book before answering the questions in the Workbook, you will better understand the questions and will be able to apply them to your own situation. All the Workbook questions are "open ended," meaning they will ask you to think about and then write your answer in the spaces provided. On those questions for which you might answer with a simple "Yes" or "No," you are asked to either detail or explain your answer. The Workbook can be used individually or as a group study. If used in a group setting, members could discuss only the "take away" question, which is the last one for each Workbook chapter. Group members could then be open and honest when answering the questions but not feel the need to share personal or sensitive answers with the group. The "take away" answers will help people share what they learned, looked at differently, or decided to apply in their lives. ABOUT SO YOU LOVE A PRODIGAL 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.
