{"product_id":"iprodigal","title":"Iprodigal","description":"\u003cb\u003e What Is A PRODIGAL, Anyway? \u003c\/b\u003e Even if you%u2019ve never read the bible, chances are you%u2019ve heard the term %u2018prodigal son%u2019. Our pop culture society simply defines a prodigal child as a kid who goes out, gets in trouble, feels sorry about what they%u2019ve done and then comes back home to eat some \u003cem\u003ehumble pie\u003c\/em\u003e. That is tragically, painfully oversimplifying this beautiful story found in the Gospel of Luke. \u003cb\u003e Lost And Found \u003c\/b\u003e In LUKE 15, Jesus told three stories. Each story was masterfully crafted, as only the Lord could do, to illustrate examples of someone losing a possession (be it a sheep, a coin or a child) and then the ultimate joy they feel when they recover the lost item. It%u2019s a remarkable testament to how our Heavenly Father feels about us when we return to Him. \u003cb\u003e There Was A Man Who Had Two Sons \u003c\/b\u003e In this bible study, iPRODIGAL, author Martin Blake Cole takes you through each verse of the story of the lost son %u2013 or sons, as you%u2019ll come to realize. He includes real-life examples of humor and heartache involving his own two sons in order to illustrate some of the biblical principles found in this most-famous parable that Jesus delivered to the %u201Csinners%u201D surrounding him and to the Pharisees prowling close by. As much as this is the story of a father dealing with rebellious children, it is the story of a relationship between brothers. \u003cb\u003e Rebellion, Reckless Stupidity, Disgrace, Humility, Desperation, Repentance, Acceptance, Joy \u003c\/b\u003e This epic story covers the full gamut of emotions as each child turns against his father. While one child%u2019s return brings great joy, it causes some deep-seeded emotions to erupt out of the other child. This bible study asks: Which person are you most like in this story? The rebellious child who repents? The ever-vigilant father, who is anxious to forgive? The older son, who is bitter with rage and resentment?","brand":"Outskirts Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50012474212602,"sku":"9781432773571","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1253\/1962\/files\/imageloader_b88c3b12-7ab2-441a-a1b5-00bd0c6db788.jpg?v=1786133422","url":"https:\/\/mindsourcebooks.com\/products\/iprodigal","provider":"Mind Source Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
