The Prodigal Project

Hope for American Families

Racial strife, violent crime, and a growing divide influence our culture and what it truly means to be an American today. Recounting his time growing up in poverty in NYC and a trailer park in Oklahoma, to becoming a U.S. Army officer, and eventually running for governor, Kendall Qualls’ story demonstrates that the promise of America is available to anyone, regardless of race or social station. With personal and revealing stories, Qualls demonstrates that anyone with a disadvantaged past can take responsibility for their life, their family, and their community.

The Prodigal Project addresses uncomfortable topics such as the crisis of fatherless homes, and the silence of the church in addressing this problem as the main source of disparities in the United States. It also tackles the threat of the progressive movement’s Cancel Culture, Black Lives Matter, and the increasingly progressive public-school system—all of which have taken a stance against the traditional nuclear family, religious faith, and the foundational beliefs of America.

Kendall Qualls invites those ready to reclaim their life, family and community to answer the call and return to the path of the basic principles outlined in the Bible, and the values that made this country great.

Almost immediately upon meeting Kendall Qualls, I recognized he was a man of rare conviction, leadership, and devotion. He is a family man with a head for business. He is a businessman with a heart for people. He is a leader with the mind of a stoic.  All of this comes through in The Prodigal Project: Hope For American Families.

Mr. Qualls’ vision is not complicated, nor is it based on trendy academics. It is rooted in integrity, faith, and a genuine desire to see people succeed. It is a refreshing take on the role of family in American society.

In The Prodigal Project: Hope For American Families, Kendall Qualls tells the powerful story of growing up in a broken home and narrowly escaping from a life of poverty, drugs and violence in Harlem. He experienced first-hand the devastation that occurs when families fall apart. Yet this has been happening on a national scale since the welfare programs of the 1960s disincentivized marriage and led to generational welfare dependency for millions. Qualls rejects the divisive, defeatist message of those who insist that America is systemically racist.  He argues that we must work to change the current narrative of victimhood to one of victory: every individual must step up and get involved, whether by mentoring a young person, supporting educational freedom, nurturing one’s own marriage, or supporting organizations working to rebuild the black family.  Through faith, family, and education, Qualls pulled himself out of poverty and after a successful career in Fortune 100 companies is today leading a movement to help rebuild the black family. This book is an inspiring and necessary antidote for a culture in crisis.
