About this listen

 In THE PRODIGAL GOD, New York pastor Timothy Keller uses the story of the prodigal son to shine a light on the central, beautiful message of Jesus: the gospel of grace, hope and salvation. Keller argues that the parable of the prodigal son, while Jesus' best-known parable, is also his least understood.

He introduces the reader to all the characters in this timeless story, showing that it concerns not just a wayward son, but also a judgemental older brother and, most importantly, a loving father. In this challenging and inspiring book, Timothy Keller invites both faithful believers and curious outsiders to come to a new and totally life-changing understanding of the central message of the Christian faith.

The story of the two lost sons as I’ve never thought of it before. So far reaching and thoughtful. I will always think prodigal god, not son in future. Thank you Tim Keller

This book is definitely for you, whether you are just looking into Christianity or you've been in church your whole life. I first read it a few years ago when it was published and it had a profound impact on me. It was wonderful to hear again of our true elder brother.

Life Changing!

A moving, challenging eye-opening account of a story we may think we are familiar with. I listened on a slower speed to chew the words. Will be giving the books to my friends and family. Shame about the music at the end (and intro?) because it seemed to take away the importance of the message and had a hint of ‘The End’ in a movie. Perhaps that was intentional. Or perhaps it’s my crooked mind!

Indispensable

Excellent book, completely beyond the normal view of this story. Loved it. Highly recommend it for elder and younger siblings alike.

For all believers and non-believers

Greatest exegesis of a passage that anyone will hear. RIP Tim - you will never be forgotten and your legacy will continue to change and mould our lives as we seek a closer relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
