Prodigals: Finding Home When We’ve Lost the Way
The most famous story of Jesus retold
Prodigals digs deeply into each line from Jesus’s famous parable about the prodigal son, inviting all readers—those down on their luck or high on their horse—to identify as prodigals. A prodigal is anyone who accepts they have a sinful human nature and turns toward the love of home, the place where we find a deeper relationship with God.
Rather than divide the world into prodigals and nonprodigals, Taylor invites readers to find themselves in the teaching of Jesus as either younger or elder siblings. The life-changing power of the book comes when readers begin to identify with the characters in the story and join in the prayers and calls for transformation that conclude the chapters.

This fresh in-depth look at one of Jesus’s most familiar parables will bless everyone. Taylor is vulnerable and sincere as he encourages us to see ourselves in the two sons.

Deeply personal, Greg goes through the parable of the prodigal sons sentence by sentence in 27 devotionals, complete with a daily reflective prodigal prayer. Each chapter is focused on a key word, and the reader will find a modern story or anecdote to connect to the text. The author draws the reader in to consider how we are both the younger and elder brother and what that means in relationship to God. For someone who enjoys stories to draw connections to one's life, this devotional would be a useful 1-month personal meditation.

I loved the new perspective offered in this re-telling of the parable of the Prodigal Son. Weaving biblical truths, personal experience and a turning a mirror back on us, this helps illuminate the parable in a fresh, new way.
