    About The Return of the Prodigal Son Anniversary Edition

    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.
