Synopsis

In THE PRODIGAL GOD, 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.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. In this challenging and inspiring book, Timothy Keller invites both faithful believers and curious outsiders to come to a new and totally life-changing understanding of the central message of the Christian faith.

About this title

Review:

Fifty years from now, if evangelical Christians are widely known for their love of cities, their commitment to mercy and justice, and their love of their neighbours, Tim Keller will be remembered as a pioneer of the new urban Christians. (Christianity Today magazine)

A fine exposition of the heart of the Christian faith...much needed at the present time (Evangelicals Now)

Another great choice for a short, punchy read... Keller shows us that the challenge in this striking parable is for the older brother too. (Together Magazine)

Book Description:

Timothy Keller focuses on Jesus' best known parable - the Prodigal Son - as a paradigm for the central messages of Christianity: grace, hope and salvation
