The Prodigal God

<b>The <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Prodigal Prophet</i> uncovers the essential message of Jesus, locked inside his most familiar parable. </b> <br> <i>Newsweek</i> called renowned minister Timothy Keller "a C.S. Lewis for the twenty-first century" in a feature on his first book, <i>The Reason for God</i>. In that book, he offered a rational explanation of why we should believe in God. Now, in <i>The Prodigal God</i>, 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. <br>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.
