Designed for use with The Prodigal God DVD by pastor and bestselling author Timothy Keller, this Discussion Guide helps churches and small groups plumb the powerful depths of Jesus' best-known parable to explore the story's characters—the younger son, the elder son, and the Father whose lavish love exceeds what either son ever expected.
Description: Two sons, one who kept the rules religiously and one who broke them all. One Father who loved both lost sons beyond anything they could imagine. Discover how deep and far God's grace goes in The Prodigal God
The Prodigal God discussion guide will help you uncover, personalize, and apply life-changing insights from The Prodigal God DVD and book.
In six captivating sessions, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller opens your eyes to the powerful message of Jesus' best-known—and least understood—parable. The Prodigal God is a revelation of the very heart of the gospel: God's radical love for sinners of every kind.
Taking you beyond the traditional focus on the wayward younger son, Keller helps you glean insights from each of the characters in Jesus' parable: the irreligious younger son, the moralistic elder son, and the Father who lavishes his love on both.
Inside this guide, you'll explore questions for group discussion and personal reflection, and exercises that will help you experience the truths of Jesus' parable in your own life.
The gospel is neither religion nor irreligion, but something else entirely. Whether you're a devout believer or a skeptic, The Prodigal God will challenge you to see Christianity in a whole new way.

The People Around Jesus

Endorsements: “The insights Tim Keller has about the two individuals in the story, and about the heart of the God who loves them both, wrecked me afresh. Tim’s thoughts deserve a hearing worldwide.” Bill Hybels Founding and Senior Pastor of Willow Creek Community Church Bestselling author of more than twenty books, including Fit to Be Tied and Rediscovering Church (with his wife Lynne), Too Busy Not to Pray, Courageous Leadership, Just Walk Across the Room, and Holy Discontent "Explain, explode, expose, explore--all of these Jesus did by telling the parable of the prodigal son.
In this book, Timothy Keller shows us something of how this story actually reveals the heart of God, and, if we read it carefully, our own hearts.
This brief exposition is unsettling and surprisingly satisfying.
Like seeing something as familiar as your own home, or your own self, with new eyes.
Enjoy and profit."

"When it comes to the gospel of Jesus Christ, Timothy Keller is simply brilliant."

“In The Prodigal God, Timothy Keller has given us a clear description of the power of the gospel for those inside and outside the church.
With profound insight Keller shows us why the religious and irreligious alike need to be recreated into someone new. You will be surprised to see Jesus through a fresh lens that challenges many traditional assumptions of what God is like. This is a book that will shape lives for many years to come.”
