Christian Book Review - The Long Walk Home


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.
