Suggestion from the Pastor
The Prodigal God
By: Timothy Keller
Pastor’s Description:
Keller hits a home run with a fresh explanation of the familiar parable from Luke 15:11-32.
Taking the dictionary definition of prodigal as “recklessly extravagant”, the author explains how the abundant grace offered to sinners places God in the position of the prodigal.
By demonstrating that both sons in the story care only for what their father can give them, rather than loving him for who he is, Keller challenges the reader to examine his/her own relationship with God.
He also reminds the reader that like the father in the parable, God recklessly pours out His love upon sinners through Jesus Christ, enabling them to rejoice in the measureless grace of their heavenly Father.
Whether you have run from God and are desirous to find Him again or are a regular church-goer that is experiencing a dryness of your soul, this short, thought provoking book will give you a fresh glimpse of the exceedingly great love of our amazing Prodigal God.
