Synopsis

A wayward son. A broken father. An angry brother. A story for today.

Boomerang is a thought-provoking, hope-filled retelling of one of the most memorable parables in the Bible. When Jesus spoke, He always included stories that stuck, and like every one of Jesus' stories, this one has more to it than meets the eye--three characters with three very different perspectives.

Jesus had you in mind when He told this story. Brett Rickey invites you to accompany a son, a father, and a brother on a journey from rebellion and disappointment to redemption and hope. In this contemporary narrative, learn to recognize the behavioral and spiritual traits of the characters and allow yourself to become part of the story.
