Book Synopsis
Everyone can relate to this story in some way. It is our destiny to return home to our true identity in Christ. The truths contained here are found in the Gospel of Luke fifteen, the parable of the Prodigal Son, a story about lost humanity in the presence of unconditional love. The protagonist is a father with two sons, representing God the heavenly Father as He truly is. The two sons represent humanity lost in two different ways. When we finally "come to ourselves", like the prodigal, we will return home to God as the one true source of meaning, goodness, belonging. In the words of St. Augustine, “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.”
