The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith

Timothy Keller

Paperback

Description: Timothy Keller argues that Jesus' story of the Prodigal Son, though his best-known parable, is also his least understood. This short but powerful book reveals the full dimensions of this remarkable parable, showing how it testifies to God's reckless, extravagant love.
