PRODIGAL by Susan E Bagato

Do you believe in second chances?

Maybe you, too, flew high and fell hard. Maybe you, too, are longing for a fresh start and a clean slate. You’ve burned bridges, lost the family fortune, and tarnished your reputation. You are angry and bitter. What happened to the life you ordered?

In one of His most beloved parables, Jesus tells the story of a young man who left home, flew high, and fell hard. Sitting in a muddy hog pen far from home, hungry and miserable, he wonders what happened to his big dreams. The Prodigal—or Lost—Son wants to come home and start again, but he is not sure of his welcome.

Even as Christians, we sometimes stray from God’s path and get lost. We left the church for a variety of reasons, perhaps even vowing never to return. Yet now we are looking to start over, wipe the slate clean, and find our way home again. But we are not sure of our welcome.

PRODIGAL: Calling Lost Christians Home explores the classic journey of rebellion, redemption, and restoration. Told from three points of view—the author’s, the Prodigal’s, and God’s—the story begins with a Brady Bunch life of love and acceptance. We then strike out on our own with big dreams, only to have them explode in our faces. But in changing course, we discover that we can go home again. We can live in a world where all is forgiven, and prodigals are welcomed home with open arms and rejoicing.
