O knihe

Most people know the story Jesus told of
the prodigal son-the child who demanded his inheritance and
then threw it away on wild living. But there were two sons
in the story: the older son watched events unfold and told
his father, "I stayed with you all these years and you never
threw a party for me!" Those who grew up in a family with a
prodigal understand that cry. Sue Thompson shares her own
story of struggle and hope in The Prodigal Brother. She
offers ways to heal the ache of feeling second place in a
parent's affections and attention, and writes with
sensitivity about forgiving a wayward brother or sister
without excusing the behavior. Anyone who's ever been "the
good kid" will find empathy and encouragement to unload the
emotional baggage of growing up with a prodigal in the
family.
Many of us grew up in families where one
of our siblings was the favorite child-either because that
one did everything right in his parents' eyes or because he
was so needy. Whichever the case, Sue Thompson gives
practical suggestions from her own life experiences. Whether
you are the good one or the neglected one, you will find
fresh insight in this eye-opening book.
