Description
It’s a sobering fact—after reaching the age of 18, more than 80 percent of kids leave their family faith and their church.
Children slipping away into a culture that tells them the Bible isn’t true, sin is no big deal, God isn’t real, or there are many ways to get into heaven.
Whether parents blame themselves or the culture, the result is the same: lost souls.
But our God specializes in lost souls and the gospel is as powerful as it ever was.
With wisdom that comes from personal experience, Jim Putman and his father, Bill Putman, offer brokenhearted parents and loved ones hope for their prodigals.
A prodigal son himself, Jim, now a pastor, has also found himself in the role of the prodigal’s father when his own son rejected the faith.
This family’s powerful story of restoration, along with solid biblical truths and practical advice, will inspire, motivate, and equip readers to go after their lost sheep with acts of love and service.
How can brokenhearted parents reclaim their lost children?
Offering hope, wisdom, biblical truths and practical advice, this is a powerful story of love, forgiveness, and restoration.
Jim Putman is the senior pastor of Real Life Ministries in Post Falls, Idaho, one of the most influential churches in America.

A three-time all-American wrestler in college as well as a successful wrestling coach, Putman holds degrees from Boise State University and Boise Bible College. He is the author of Church Is a Team Sport and The Power of Together, as well as the widely adopted Real-Life Discipleship program.
