Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Nouwen evokes the powerful drama of the Parable of the Prodigal Son in a way that is sure to reverberate in your heart. The themes of homecoming, affirmation, and reconciliation will be newly discovered by all who have known loneliness, contradiction, or anger.

The splendid challenge to love as the father and be loved as the son is the overriding message of this beloved spiritual writer's deeply personal and resonant meditation on the parable of the return of the prodigal son, as inspired by Rembrandt's painted masterpiece.

Synopsis:

The beloved spiritual writer meditates on the parable of the prodigal son's return — a powerful drama of fatherhood, filial duty, rivalry, and anger between brothers — and its enduring lessons for Christianity.
