Prodigal Gospel: Getting Lost and Found Again in the Good News

By: Morrison, Jonny

The good news is bigger and better than we imagined.

Many Christians, especially young Christians stepping into a world and a church devastated by division, scandal, and abuse, are asking whether the gospel is good news for us today. And many are deciding that faith simply doesn't have anything to offer. Our gospel has become too small--it looks nothing like the Jesus who embodies good news in the flesh.

How do we recover this gospel? When we turn to the parable of the prodigal son--a story of elaborate parties, upside-down kingdoms, and reunited families--we can hear in Jesus' own words a clear presentation of a truth that is bigger and better than we've imagined.
​
In these pages, author and pastor Jonny Morrison invites us on a journey into the welcoming arms of this familiar parable, showing us how it shapes the entire story of Scripture. Along the way, we discover the radically inclusive power of the gospel that upends religions, disrupts empires, heals the wounded, and empowers the marginalized. After all, this is Jesus' good news to tell. And when we listen to him tell it, we can be found again in the surprising, disarming, challenging gospel that is truly good news.
