About this title

Synopsis

Discover how gifts, desire, and true repentance shape everyday life through a careful look at the Prodigal Son and its teachings.

This edition offers clear reflections on how our wants can drift toward self-focus, and how humility, forgiveness, and a right heart can transform gifts into blessing rather than burden.

The book digs into the familiar Bible story of a father and two sons to reveal how good gifts can become stumbling blocks when desire outpaces wisdom. It also contrasts the brothers to show how inner life matters as much as outward conduct. Alongside this, a companion essay based on Christ’s call in the Gospel of Matthew invites readers to consider what it means to follow, serve, and become fishers of people.

• Learn how desires and gifts can influence choices and lead to both loss and growth.
• Explore the deeper message of repentance, forgiveness, and restored relationship within a family and with God.
• See how the example of Peter and the call to “follow Me” speaks to everyday discipleship and endurance.
• Find practical reflections on humility, selflessness, and turning toward a higher purpose.

Ideal for readers seeking thoughtful, faith-leaning explorations of Scripture and practical guidance for living with a sincere heart.
