An image of the cover of the book "The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith"

This is a short book that examines the parable of the prodigal son from Luke 15.

I read this chapter-by-chapter for a men’s Bible study group. Unfortunately, I lost the main point of it. I remember it being quite good and interesting, but I can’t recall what it was. (I might-re-read at some point, and update this review.)

Weirdly, I’m still recommending the book. It’s short, approachable, and there is a good point to it. I liked that it was focused on one encapsulated fable from the gospels, and it examined that to the exclusion of everything else.
