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.
