His books are especially ministering to me in 2017. I have felt like the younger son (rebellious and sorrowful) and elder son(resentful) at various times in my life, but I had never considered full weight of the the invitation to lavishly and completely love like the father in the story. That ultimately God wants me to embrace a life that grieves, forgives, and shows generous love to his lost children. As I allow God presence in me to grow this is the natural response. A thoughtful book I will return to again.
