MindyCary, NCAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5The Prodigal God--1 of the best books ever!February 9, 2016MindyCary, NCAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This book has been called 1 of the 40 best Christian books to read in a lifetime. Keller's methodical and fascinating writing on the last part of the 3-part parable of Luke 15 gets an A+ in my mind and heart. Knowing that the father in the story had TWO lost sons it is easier to see ourselves in this story. I have taught this 3 times to groups and am embarking on a summarized few lessons to go through it. By all means acquire the 35-minute teaching DVD that goes along with the book. You will hit a home run reading this book or sharing it with others.

SpenceJacksonville, FLAge: 25-34Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5A Book that will Change your Life.January 10, 2013SpenceJacksonville, FLAge: 25-34Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I have long been a practicing Christian, even recently have started and almost completed a read of the entire New Testament. The Prodigal God gave me an insight into one of Jesus' parables on a level I have never encountered, and it changed my life. He focuses on the parable of the Prodigal Son, in particular the "older son" in the story who is often neglected in sermons but is a crucial part of the story. It is directed at the Pharisees, which today are represented by many people (myself included) who seek to "earn" God's respect through actions, with our heart still astray from his core of love. Keller's study of this parable revealed to me the two most common struggles people have with their faith, what the root of the struggle is, and how to overcome it. Reads extremely easily, yet does not seem "dumb" or "trivial" to even the most reflective, intelligent readers. After reading I bought 5 copies to give to close friends. Highly recommended.

MemeAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Great read!August 16, 2016MemeAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This is the first book I've read of Timothy Keller's; I'm hooked! This is one of the best books I have ever read in years. Like most people, I have read the story of the prodigal son numerous times but have never looked at it the way this book encouraged me to. It's an easy read; won't take more than a day. I liked it so much, I'm ordering two more of his books. I love the way he writes and his thought process. Highly recommended book and writer!

JRA5 Stars Out Of 5Keller revistedFebruary 25, 2015JRAQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5With the purchase of 12 books for a leadership team I oversee, I am on my 4th time through this simple but amazing book. "God's amazing, unearned, unmerited grace" is a concept that is given new understanding and new life in Keller's short expose of the Biblical account of the "Prodigal Son," which Keller more aptly explains is a tale of two sons. A must read for both students of the Bible and those looking into the faith.

StevePittsburg, KSAge: 25-34Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Great Insight into an old storyJanuary 27, 2014StevePittsburg, KSAge: 25-34Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I borrowed this book from my brother and loved it. It is very challenging and revealing. After reading it I bought two books, one to keep myself and an extra copy. I also bought the dvd and discussion guide for our church small group. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to grow in their christian faith and relationship with God. I plan of reading this book periodically to make sure I don't let myself fall back into the "Elder Brother" role.
