Lost: When the Dream Turns To a Nightmare

Turn Upside Down

by Jonty Allcock

A son turns his back on home and family to follow his dreams of a new life on his own. An other son stays dutifully at home.

But when the dream turns to a nightmare, what will this first son do? And which of the two sons is really the more lost?

In this deceptively simple story, Jesus gets to the heart of what it means to be lost to God, and found by him again. And it's a story that's full of surprises.

You'll be surprised by the father, surprised by the sons, and surprised by what this story tells us about our own hearts.

An there there's the biggest surprise of all... jaw-dropping in fact...

Reviews

[Matt Chapman · Rating 5 out of 5]

A short and very enjoyable walk through the parable of the prodigal son. Written primarily for teens, it would also make a great read for university students and/or those who aren't used to reading bigger books (including non-Christians).

[Scott Kennedy · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a nice brief introduction to the story Jesus told about the lost son (the Parable of the prodigal son). He takes an approach that is similar to Timothy Keller's approach in the Prodigal God, and explores the older brother's attitude. This is a very easy read, and aimed at teenagers.
