A preacher at a megachurch and best-selling author, Jack Chisholm seems to have it all until his perfect world collapses after his infidelity is made public. With a marriage and a career in shambles and nowhere else to go, he returns to the small town where he grew up. Instead of recrimination and hatred, Jack finds community and a father who welcomes him with open arms. Jack's troubles are far from over, but with faith, hope, and grace, he just might overcome them. VERDICT This contemporary retelling of the parable of the Prodigal Son by Manning, the late best-selling author of The Ragamuffin Gospel, and writer Garrett (Free Bird) is an uplifting tale that reveals the depth and breadth of God's love and forgiveness.
