Return of the Prodigal Son

A chance encounter with a reproduction of Rembrandt's The Return of the Prodigal Son catapulted Henri Nouwen on a long adventure. Here he shares the deeply personal and resonant meditation that led him to discover the place within where God has chosen to dwell. <P> In seizing the inspiration that came to him through Rembrandt's depiction of the powerful Gospel story, Henry Nouwen probes the several movements of the parable: the younger son's return, the father's restoration of sonship, the elder son's vengefulness, and the father's compassion. In his reflection on Rembrandt in light of his own life journey, the author evokes the powerful drama of the parable in a rich, captivating way that is sure to reverberate in the hearts of readers. The themes of homecoming, affirmation, and reconciliation will be newly discovered by all who have known loneliness, dejection, jealousy, or anger. The challenge to love as the father and be loved as the son will be seen as the ultimate revelation of the parable known to Christians throughout time, and here represented with a vigor and power fresh for our times. <P> For all who ask, "Where has my struggled led me?" or for those "on the road" who have had the courage to embark on the journey but seek the illumination of a known way and safe passage, this work will inspire and guide each time it is read.

Alisa Childers 3 Book Set, by Alisa Childers

<p>Enjoy 3 gripping books by Alisa Childers in this 3-book collection. Alisa examines societal views of Christianity and analyzes how to respond to misconceptions using biblical truth. Click below to learn about each book:</p>
<details>
<summary><strong>Another Gospel</strong></summary>
<p>A growing movement is seeking to redefine Christianity. Some believe it is a much-needed progressive reformation. Others see it as an attack on historic Christianity.</p>
<p>Alisa Childers didn't think she would ever question her Christian faith. She was brought up in a Christian home, where she saw her mom and dad feed the hungry, clothe the homeless, and love the outcast. She had witnessed God at work and then had dedicated her own life to leading worship, as part of the popular Christian band ZOEgirl. All of that was deeply challenged when she came across a progressive pastor, who called himself a hopeful agnostic.</p>
<p>Another Gospel? reveals the intellectual journey Alisa took over several years as she wrestled with a series of questions that hit the core of the Christian faith. Once everything she ever believed about God, Jesus, and the Bible had been picked apart, she found herself at the brink of despair, until God rescued her, helping her to rebuild her faith, one solid brick at a time.</p>
<p>When you encounter a culture of endless questions, you need some solid answers. If you or someone you love has come across the ideas of progressive Christianity, and you aren't sure how to respond, Alisa's journey will reveal how to determine, and rest in, what's unmistakably true.</p>

<summary><strong>Live Your Truth and Other Lies</strong></summary>
<p>Are you tired of browsing through social media to find out how you're supposed to think? Are you weary from the latest self-help books that promise to free you, yet only imprison you with massive lists of studies to consider, positive affirmations to recite, and Facebook groups to join?</p>
<p>We've seen the memes all over the internet: live your truth, follow your heart, you only have one life to live. This all sounds nice and positive. What if these slogans are actually lies that unhinge us from reality and leave us anxious and exhausted? Alisa Childers, author of Another Gospel?, invites you to examine modern lies that masquerade as truths in today's culture. Everyday messages of peace, fulfillment, and empowerment swirl all around social media. On the surface, they seem like sentiments of freedom and hope, yet in reality they are deeply deceptive.</p>
<p>In Live Your Truth (and Other Lies), Alisa will help you to:</p>
<ul>
<li>- Uncover the common lies repeated within progressive circles</li>
<li>- Hold on to the soul-restoring truths that God's Word offers</li>
<li>- Be empowered to live the way your Created made you</li>
</ul>

<summary><strong>The Deconstruction of Christianity</strong></summary>
<p>The "deconstruction" movement is sweeping through churches, and it is disrupting, dismantling, and destroying the faith of many people. In <em>The Deconstruction of Christianity</em>, Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett examine this movement and prepare you how to respond with clarity and confidence. Whether you struggle to respond to a loved one who is deconstructing their faith, try to understand your friend's radical spiritual makeover, or experience doubt and face hard questions about truth, God, theology, the Bible, and the gospel, this informative book will teach you about the origins and spread of this movement, why it's compelling to some, and how it disorients the lives of so many.</p>
