The Long Walk Home
by Matt Carter
The parable of the
Prodigal Son has been a great favorite of many preachers, teachers, and church
folks. Matt Carter carefully unpacks this ancient story in order to convince
readers that no matter how badly we screw up or how far away we stray from God,
we can return home again to be received lovingly and graciously by our Heavenly
Father.
The chapters are easy to
read and Carter’s style will probably appeal most to millennials who are now experiencing
a spiritual and meaningful gap in their lives. The constant message is one of
hope and restoration no matter who we are or what we’ve done.
This would be a great
study book for a small home group to read, discuss, and share the valuable
insights that the author expresses in each chapter. He also courageously tells
his own story which will probably connect with many of his readers, especially
if they are truly seeking God’s grace.
