Inspired by the Williams family’s journey with their son Zach, God’s Heart for the Prodigal offers thirty days of hope, Scripture, and hard-won wisdom to anyone praying for a prodigal they love.

God’s Heart for the Prodigal was born from Steve and Jenia Williams’s own heartbreak and hope as they prayed for their son, Zach, during the years he wandered far from his faith. With raw honesty and unshakable belief in God's power to restore, they share the lessons, Scriptures, and prayers that sustained them through long seasons of waiting. Now returned to faith, Zach adds his own perspective to their story, offering unique insights from both sides of the prodigal journey.

This 30-day devotional is for every parent, grandparent, spouse, or friend who carries the weight of loving a prodigal. Each day offers encouragement from God's Word, practical guidance for interceding without enabling, and space to process your own grief, fears, and hopes.

Steve and Jenia’s journey, enriched by Zach and his wife Crystal’s candid reflections on his own wandering and return, is a living testimony that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace. Their family’s story, paired with biblical truth, will strengthen your faith, deepen your trust, and remind you that your prayers are powerful and effective.

If your heart is heavy for someone you love, God’s Heart for the Prodigal will walk beside you, helping you hold on to hope, lean on the Father’s love, and believe that He is still writing your loved one’s redemption story.
