I have both of those and both are very good, but the one that I recommend first is Prodigals Do Come Home.
Prodigals Perspective is good because it gives you some more knowledge of what the prodigal goes through while living in their pigpen. He answers some questions for standers about where the prodigals mind is on different things.
Prodigal's Return is about when they come home and the type of work that you are going to have to do and the type of work that he is going to go through. I also highly recommend this one because it will help you out with the many questions that you had when your husband returned this last time. Very good book and will help you to get through the turbulants during this time. It explains what the wife went through (the stander) and what the husband went through (the prodigal) during this time of marriage reconciliation.
So if you can afford all three, they are a very good investment. The first one that I would read is Prodigal's Do Come Home. You will see your situation in this very much so. You will see most of the relationships that have fallen apart right now in this. There is a prodigal that leaves to find himself and the stander that stays at home and waits and prays. Very good Bible Story.
I tell you what, my mom and dad read this book (Prodigal's Do Come Home) when I had made my decision to stand for my marriage over a year ago. My mom understood why and started praying with me for his return. My dad cried and got quiet for a while because he remembered himself during his MLC stage. He to now prays for my husband's return and believes in the same miracle that I believe in.
They understand the pain the my husband is going through and realize that it isn't my husband, but the binds that satan has put on my husband.
