The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller

Rediscover the radical heart of Christianity with Timothy Keller’s The Prodigal God, a transformative exploration of Jesus’ parable of the Prodigal Son. Far more than a simple story of forgiveness, Keller reveals how the parable teaches the essence of the gospel: God’s reckless, lavish grace for both the wayward and the self-righteous.
 
With clarity and compassion, Keller shows how both “younger brothers” (the rebellious) and “elder brothers” (the dutiful but prideful) are lost—and how God’s extravagant love invites everyone into true relationship with Him. Drawing on Scripture, theology, and real-world insights, The Prodigal God invites readers into a life-changing encounter with the gospel’s power.
