The Prodigal God - Timothy Keller
New York pastor Timothy Keller uses the story of the prodigal son to shine a light on the central, beautiful message of Jesus: the gospel of grace, hope and salvation. He introduces the reader to all the characters in this timeless story, showing that it concerns not just a wayward son, but also a judgemental older brother and, most importantly, a loving father.This short but powerful book is a reminder to the faithful, an explanation to the seeker, and finally an invitation to all -- both older and younger brothers -- to enter in to the 'unique, radical nature of the gospel': the reckless, spendthrift love of God.
