I have grown to really appreciate the work that God has been doing through Tim Keller. This book is such a great challenge to us as Christians as to better understand a very important teaching of Jesus and the critical nature of our relationship with God.
Tim gives us a fresh look into the parable we commonly refer to as the "Prodigal Son". A fresh point of view and a solid reminder of the importance of our relationship with the Father. We so often focus on the mess the younger son is in and neglect the works based selfish attitude of the older son.
I more than recommend this book to all Christians. I consider it an essential read, especially for leaders.
Press on!
