If someone told me to buy a 133 page book on the parable of the prodigal son by a pastor from New York City, my reply would be something like this...
"Does the parable of the prodigal son really need more press? Don't I have enough pages to read already? There are pastors in New York City?"
Thankfully, I am mistaken at every level of thought. The Prodigal God by Tim Keller is one of the most valuable books I have seen in a very long time.
Why? It gives the good news, and you will probably read it in one day. I could write a very long list of more sophisticated reasons, but I don't feel like being long winded- Buy this book.
