The Prodigal God

Tim Keller’s book, The Prodigal God, is a quick but well-aimed bullet. In this short work, he does a great job of explaining the meaning of the parable of the prodigal son, showing us that it has much more to do with God’s offer to the self-righteousness who are trying to earn his favor through obedience than it does with his acceptance of the wayward and licentious. This is a great book for preaching the gospel to yourself anew and for preparing to share it with those who think they need it the least but need it the most.
