The Return of the Prodigal Son Anniversary Edition by Henri J M Nouwen
With a preface by James Martin, SJ. A specially-priced two-in-one omnibus gift edition of Henri Nouwen's bestselling The Return of the Prodigal Son and it's companion and prequel Home Tonight. In seizing the inspiration that came to him through Rembrandt's depiction of the powerful Gospel story The Return of the Prodigal Son, Henri Nouwen probes 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's journey, the author evokes a powerful drama of the parable in a rich, capativating 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. Coupled with the lectures that inspired the book and originally collected in Home Tonight, this special 2-in-1 omnibus will be the definitive edition of the spiritual classic.HENRI NOUWEN was a Dutch-born Catholic priest, lecturer, and pastor who wrote over 30 works on spirituality, including classics like The Wounded Healer, The Inner Voice of Love, and The Return of the Prodigal Son. Nouwen's writings have been translated into over 30 languages and have sold over seven million copies throughout the world, resonating with individuals from all walks of life, religious, spiritual, cultural, and political. Since his death in 1996, his literary legacy has guided an expanding number of readers, writers, instructors, and searchers.
