Book Reviews of A Tale of Two Sons: The Inside Story of a Father, His Sons, and a Shocking Murder
Book Review: Outstanding Study: Must Re-read
Summary: 5 Stars
Pastor John MacArthur does it again. He is such a blessing and a gift from the Lord to teach us the bible. This book is a detailed exposition of the Prodigal Son parable that appears in Luke Ch. 15:(11-32).
I continually marvelled at the many deep lessons that Pastor MacArthur mines in this familar story. He looks at the story from the perspectives of the lost son, father, older brother, and the Pharisees. The story is one of incredible grace once the sinner recognizes the need for repentance. The story would have been familiar to the culture of the day. MacArthur shows how much relevance the story still applies in today's world. Isn't the Bible wonderful? Timeless.
The book ends with some unexpected analysis that I had never fully considered. I won't spoil the thunder because all need to read it.
Many parents will benefit from reading this book. As the father of an estranged son, I gained tremendous comfort to sustain me during these difficult days of rejection. I am more prepared to act if and when my prodigal ever returns home. I haven't given up hope.. and my prodigal knows the door is always open.
I plan to reread this book as I would fully expect I will see and understand new depths. Thank you Pastor MacArthur.
Summary of A Tale of Two Sons: The Inside Story of a Father, His Sons, and a Shocking Murder
In A 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 A 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.
