Prodigals: Finding Home When We’ve Lost the Way

The most famous story of Jesus retold Prodigals digs deeply into each line from Jesus’s famous parable about the prodigal son, inviting all readers—those down on their luck or high on their horse—to identify as prodigals. A prodigal is anyone who accepts they have a sinful human nature and turns toward the love of home, the place where we find a deeper relationship with God. Rather than divide the world into prodigals and nonprodigals, Taylor invites readers to find themselves in the teaching of Jesus as either younger or elder siblings. The life-changing power of the book comes when readers begin to identify with the characters in the story and join in the prayers and calls for transformation that conclude the chapters.
