The book places the familiar family story in historical context and considers aspects of the parable that, according to its description, are often left untold. Its approach is devotional and interpretive, using the biblical passage to explore God’s love and the meaning of repentance within Christian faith.

Book overview

The Parable of the Prodigal Son still stands out as a crucial lesson about our struggle with sin and dependence on divine salvation. There is a part of this story that often goes untold, but it's a message you need to hear.

Nearly two thousand years ago, Jesus told a simple parable about a family . . . a father and his two sons. It was a story of rebellion, repentance, and unfathomable grace that is beautiful in its simplicity and rich in God's forgiveness.

Previously published as A Tale of Two Sons, pastor-teacher and author John MacArthur provides:

  • Fascinating new insight into one of the Bible's most important stories
  • The parable of the prodigal son as it was originally intended.
  • Twenty-two verses from Luke that will reawaken you to a new understanding of God's love and the joy our repentance brings to Him.

 

Using accurate and captivating historical context, The Prodigal Son allows you to experience a tale of inexhaustible grace and an ending you've never heard before.
