My Prodigal Son

And Our Journey Together

De: Michael Cannell

Narrado por: Jim Taylor

My Prodigal Son and Our Journey Together is a book written by the father of his son, Michael, who earnestly tried but failed to beat alcohol and drug addiction. It is narrated by his father describing the difficult journey his son chose and one that he did not take alone. His family was right there with him supporting and loving him wherever he was on his journey, no matter how difficult it was. The best way to describe the spirit and purpose of this book is to hear from both the father and son below.

From Dad

“I experienced a loss that I still cannot come to terms with. My beautiful son, Michael, died three years ago. Prior to his tragic ending, he tried everything to break away from his addictions of alcohol and drugs, but nothing worked.

He was loved by many and befriended others suffering from the same disease as he did. His message to them is the same one he is sending through this book. In his very own words he described his journey as follows…”

From his Son Michael

“Dad, I never knew my life would get to this point. I am slowly losing everything due to something I thought I could never become. My denial has led me to death’s door on so many occasions it’s just a matter of time.

This book is a gift from Michael’s father to his son. As you will listen, Michael has been urging his dad through dreams, songs, and other means to write this book. His book as a cautionary tale to those who are flirting with alcohol and drugs- so as to give them a wakeup call what will be in store from them if they foolishly take the same fatal journey he did.

Michael had everything – looks, brains, athleticism, a great sense of humor, was a musician, had so many friends, and so much more. He had everything until he lost it all to something he thought he could beat.

The book describes how his son struggled to get back what he lost, but it was too late when he realized he had been robbed of everything that mattered to him. He reached the “point of no return.”

No one should have to reach this point, and no parent or loved one should have to watch helplessly on the sidelines as they self-destruct.

Michael and his father want to bring meaning and purpose to his life by saving others from the journey he so regrettably took. This book is his way to achieve that.

The good news for you is you have a reliable source telling you why the lure of alcohol and addiction is deceitful, promising a fading high for everything that ever mattered to you.

Make Michael’s life count. Let him speak to you through this book from behind the veil. Let him help you, your child, and anyone wise enough to learn how to live their lives free from addictions. He is rooting for you from where he is.

Like Dr. Spock, he wants you to “Live Long and Prosper.”
