Product Description

In Who's Your Daddy? Dr. Kevin Cosby explores ways that the experience of the Prodigal Son mirrors the lifecycle of every person's relationship with God. Using vivid imagery and true-to-life situations, Dr. Cosby shows how we all can build healthy relationships with our Heavenly Father and with our children. This book on the Prodigal Son will help people gain the tools necessary to coach and be coached through life. By having more good coach-parents, we will help reverse the downward spiral of our young people and even many of our adults. With more good coach-parents, we will stop mass-producing prodigals-bright young man and women who waste their advantages in search of frivolity. Prodigality is part of everyone's spiritual maturation process; however, the key is to know when and how to return home to the Father. Relationships are perhaps the most important reality in the human experience. Our relationships with other human beings and our relationship with the One who made human beings determine our perspective on life, our ability to function, our aspirations, and our ultimate destination. This book is about losing your way but then climbing out of wretchedness; it's about the depths of the Father's love and about the ingratitude and dissatisfaction of the seemingly "good son." Dr. Cosby examines the many facets of issues that Jesus raised in this parable through the continuum of relationships: father and son. Part of the reason why the Prodigal Son had enough sense to go home from the hog pen was because he remembered he had a good home to go back to. That means some of what his father had taught and lived had rubbed off on him and left an indelible impression on his heart. He had enough of his father's love in him that, even though he squandered his inheritance and was living in a wild and crazy hog pen, he knew that it was peaceful and pleasant at his father's house. He remembered his identity. This book demonstrates how parents must teach their children, just like the father taught the Prodigal Son and his brother. Dr. Cosby delves into details of the story that most people overlook, which makes the truth of the story more relevant. What was going on with the older brother? Was the older brother justified in resenting the father's celebration of the prodigal's return? Had he been treated unfairly? And how does this story relate to Jesus' deliverance of the demoniac in Mark 5? Read the book to discover the answer.
