The Prodigal God : Recovering the heart of the Christian faith

Reader reviews 'A fresh perspective that will transform how you see the gospel!' 'Sometimes God has a way to show us ourselves in the mirror and through this book, that's what He did!.' An inspiring book for faithful believers and curious outsiders to come to a new and totally life-changing understanding of the central message of the Christian faith. In The Prodigal God, 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. Keller argues that the parable of the prodigal son, while Jesus' best-known parable, is also his least understood. 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. 'A fine exposition of the heart of the Christian faith... much needed at the present time' - Evangelical Now
