Strongly recommended reading for parents, teachers, counselors, and youth workers

Deftly co-authored by Scott Larson (President and co-founder of Straight Ahead Ministries) and Larry K. Brendtro (President of Reclaiming Youth International), Reclaiming Our Prodigal Sons And Daughters: A Practical Approach For Connecting With Youth In Conflict is an excellent introduction and cogent exploration of individuals and groupings of youth and the four-step plan for reaching out in an attempt to assist them. Based upon the observations of two prominent figures in child-aide programs, Reclaiming Our Prodigal Sons And Daughters is an impressively thoughtful and informative guide and stratagems to what may potentially become the most useful and effective form of reaching and helping young people. Reclaiming Our Prodigal Sons And Daughters is very strongly recommended reading for parents, teachers, counselors, and youth workers.

A great book for professionals and parents.

This is a great book for anyone interested or going into the field of Juvenile Justice and yet it is also an exceptional read for all parents. It emphasizes the importance of never giving up on our troubled youth and ways of dealing with these troubled youth in an insightful and even spiritual manner. I would recommend this book to anyone who has thier own children or want to help others children.

An Outstanding Book

This must read book will fill your heart with hope, fill your mind with new and fresh ideas and start you on a journey of discovery that will reward you and all young people in your life. This is an especially important book for teachers, coaches, juvenile home workers and foster care parents. This is a must buy!
