Thanks for the review Simon – I just wanted to throw my hat into the same ring and say that “Prodigal God” is one of the best Christian books I’ve ever read. It’s also one of the EASIEST Christian books I’ve ever read! And one of the books I’ve thought most about since I’ve finished it.

In other words, “Prodigal God” has really helped me bother to understand how much God loves me, and helped me to want to love him more.

Highly recommend it.

Yeah, i think Tim Keller’s teaching on this parable has been great, it has made me always recognise that sin is both when people do the right things to get what they want or they do the wrong things the get what they want.. the problem being in both cases the sons did their stuff to get the Fathers things, not the Father, and a relationship with him..

anyways i feel like im giving a bit 2 much away.. the point is that its really worth reading

um, well actually i never read the book.. haha i cheated.. theres a six part audio series at http://www.theprodigalgod.com/

and one talk below that six part series that is pretty much a sum up of the lot.

although i do reckon i’ll read the book too sometime soon.. bit more depth..

yous (and.. me) should all hear more about the prodigal god/ sons of luke 15

Heartly agree with Simon. Great book , easy to read but challenging about our relationship with our Heavenly Father.
Also it reminded me how easy it is to read the parable of the lost “son” (the heading in NIV bibles that the translators put in) and miss that Jesus actually talks about both sons and how they are lost in different ways…
Grab it and have a read!
