Book Description
The Parable of the Prodigal Son is found in the text of the New Testament, in Luke 15:11-32 to be exact. It was told by Jesus to His followers to illustrate God's love and forgiveness, even when one would abandon the security and blessings God has bestowed, to follow a fallen "wisdom" over that which God has provided. It is illustrative of a common theme woven throughout the Bible, starting with Adam and Eve, through the Tower of Babel, to the doubting Israelites in the wilderness ... and even to the present day. The truth of the Parable of the Prodigal Son applies to spouses as well, and it is a testament to God's unconditional love and the realization that our loved ones will sometimes head out on their own, outside the will of God, only to realize the treasure they lost in their rebellion. And it bears noting that in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the father had the means and wherewithal to stop his son from leaving, but knew it was the choice of his son. And the Parable is a lesson in the ways God works, and those ways are explored throughout this work."The Prodigal Spouse" also comes with a compendium of inspirational verses directly from the Word of God, designed to give thoughts of peace, and not of evil, that will guard your hearts and your minds, and give you hope for the future!

Book Description
Loving a prodigal is a long and desperate journey, filled with fear, worry, anger, self- recrimination. You wait for the phone call--will it be from jail or the hospital? You plead with your loved one. You search for help. You feel the shame. You cry out to God, "How long, Lord?" Author Judy Douglass knows these lovers of prodigals well. She is one herself and has created a large and growing community with others. When You Love a Prodigal is a collection of 90 essays--90 days of perspective on what God offers to you as you love your prodigal. At the end of each brief essay, response questions will help you process how God intends to use the wilderness journey to mold your spiritual life. You can work through it day by day, or you can read it straight through. Judy has traveled this road with her own prodigal--reading, learning, praying, and seeking God. Over and over he continued to give her wisdom, he sustained her, he covered her with grace, and he filled her with hope. May you, too, be strengthened and filled with hope as together you discover how God will take you through your own valley.

Pages : 192

Book Description
The New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet uncovers the essential message of Jesus, locked inside his most familiar parable. Newsweek called renowned minister Timothy Keller "a C.S. Lewis for the twenty-first century" in a feature on his first book, The Reason for God. In that book, he offered a rational explanation of why we should believe in God. Now, in The Prodigal God, Keller takes his trademark intellectual approach to understanding Christianity and uses the parable of the prodigal son to reveal an unexpected message of hope and salvation. Within that parable Jesus reveals God's prodigal grace toward both the irreligious and the moralistic. This book will challenge both the devout and skeptics to see Christianity in a whole new way.
