As a Christian, you may sometimes wonder: Have I made too many mistakes or too big of a blunder for God to see me as his legitimate child? Have I gone so far I’ve been disowned? Has he turned his back on me? Is he disappointed with me? Does he love me less because I’ve made some bad decisions? In The Prodigal, author Wayne Kniffen communicates that no matter how badly you may have blown it by making foolish choices, God isn’t mad at you. He is madly in love with you. The two sons in the Luke 15 parable provide deep insights into God’s love for you. Luke records one of the most familiar parables ever told by Jesus: the parable of the prodigal. The heavenly truth Jesus wants us to glean from this earthy story is to understand what the heavenly father thinks about us, how he sees us, and how he feels about us—even when we willfully make poor choices. Since this is one of the biggest issues—if not the biggest issue—Christians struggle with, Kniffen presents an examination of the fifteenth chapter of Luke.

Standing as the most intricate of Christ's parables, Luke 15 is the most vivid and prominent illustration of salvation in all of the Scriptures! The Parable of the Prodigal Son is a story with intricate cultural dynamics, deep and raw emotions, as well as a spiritual depth unrivaled among the other parables. It is a story of rebellion and disobedience, repentance and confession, forgiveness and restoration. Through this parable, Jesus Christ puts salvation on display through the repentance of the younger son, the unmerited favor of his father, and the inward rebellion of the older brother. As you take this journey with me, we will carefully consider Christ's teaching and allow His words to direct our understanding of:Original sinHuman depravityFree willRepentanceThe prayer of faithRestorationJesus illustrates each of these truths through a complex yet riveting narrative of a wayward son's journey to restoration with his father. My prayer is that our study through Luke 15 will strengthen your faith and allow you to see Salvation Through the Eyes of a Prodigal!

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