For the past week, I've been reading Prodigal God by Timothy Keller. I got this book thinking it would be about, well, God and that was about it. But I was wrong! It's about the Parable of the Prodigal Son. I was like, "A whole book about the Parable of the Prodigal Son? That's crazy!" Maybe it is, but I really liked this book. There is so much more to this parable found in Luke 15 than just "like the father, Jesus welcomes us back with welcoming arms." Timothy Keller eloquently explains how, really, both brothers are lost and the fault in our church in regards to being "older brothers." Did I pique your interest? I hope so! I would tell you more about how much I loved this book, explain it to you, and express my love for the last chapter, but I don't want to spoil it for you and I want you to read this book! I would strongly encourage you to check this book out from your library or buy it. It would be a great aid for your small group study, and I hope to read through it again with my friends at youth group this summer. It's not your typical God-relating book, and it's just so awesome, a wonderful resource for diving into the Bible. Keller has written other books, and I can't wait to read them!
