About this listen
Taking his trademark intellectual approach to understanding Christianity, Keller uncovers the essential message of Jesus, locked inside his most familiar parable. 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.

"An amazing, thought-provoking, illuminating work." (Examiner.com)
"The insights Tim Keller has about the two individuals in the story, and about the heart of God who loves them both, wrecked me afresh. Tim's thoughts deserve a hearing worldwide." (Bill Hybels, founding and senior pastor, Willow Creek Community Church)

a very revealing read
This book reveals God's heart in a very profound and life-changing way. I never thought of how much we miss out on Jesus' teaching through the 'familiar' story of "the prodigal son". I will be re-reading this to continually inculcate its message in the hope of living in light of the true meaning of God's grace. I'm definitely recommending this to as many as I can. I thank God for enabling the author to write this deeply enlightening book!

Insightful
How humbling it is to learn SO much about a story I thought I was familiar with. Keller’s insight and dedicated investigation is inspired. This narrative has grown and strengthened my faith, and I am thankful.

Prodigal God Indeed...
This book provides an insightful take on one of Jesus’s parables (Luke 15:11-32). Keller starts the book by defining the word “prodigal” as “recklessly spendthrift” - to spend until nothing is left. Oftentimes, when one reads or thinks about this parable, the automatic assumption is that it’s about the younger son who left his father’s home and the story of his homecoming. However, the author challenges the reader to think about the other “lost son” - the older brother. He states that one “... can rebel against God and be alienated from him either by breaking his rules or by keeping all of them diligently.” Truly, all of us, both younger brother and older brother types, are in need of a Prodigal God who loves his children lavishly.
