A Tale of Two Sons: The Inside Story of a Father, His Sons, and a Shocking Murder
In The Tale of Two Sons, one of America's most loved Bible teachers takes you deeper into Luke 15 than ever before, revealing insights into the culture of Jesus' day and an unforgettable ending.
The Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) has been preached from nearly every pulpit in the world and is known by many who read and cherish the Bible. The story is so powerful because it presents, in clear and inspiring terms, our struggle with sin, the need for humble repentance, and the Father's inexhaustible mercy and love. Unfortunately, many Christians would say that they have nothing new to learn from this gem of Scripture. It has lost its luster. But in The Tale of Two Sons, John MacArthur restores the brilliance of this passage, giving engrossing historical background and unveiling a surprise ending readers have never heard before.

This book is amazing! The cultural explanations and the pacing explanation really hammers home the parable of the Prodigal Son. The book deals with not only the Prodigal Son but also the older son and the father. MacArthur makes sure that you understand that he isn't there spiritualizing every little bit of story. However, he does make sure to carefully explain what was said, why it was said, and the reactions that would be the result of what was said, plus why the reactions were what they would have been. I cannot begin to explain just how masterful this book is written and not only does it challenge you, it provides a look into your own heart and walk with Christ. Must read! Final Grade - A+
