Most people, (Christians and non Christians) are familiar with the parable of the Prodigal Son.

Timithy Keller delves deeply into the heart of the matter, challenging the religious and the irrelegious who are both alienated from their father God. Whereas the parable leaves off with the fathers request of the older brother to come in and rejoice at the home coming banquet, Keller, in this short (133pg) book, reveals much about ourselves as he uncovers Jesus` message of grace and forgiveness. This is a powerful book and you will read the parable of the prodigal son with much insight and a whole new perspective on the word prodigal as it pertains to God.
