Parable of Transformation

Much has been written regarding Luke Chapter 15 and there’s been a great debate regarding theological themes; however, this book takes a different approach by viewing it as a parable of transformation.

This book addresses parables of Jesus, including the parable of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the parable of the prodigal son analysis.

It deals with the classic hero journey of self discovery, personal growth and development, and self actualization, culminating in personal transformation and a new creation. It depicts the prodigal son on a journey from betrayal to trust.

It deals with man’s search for meaning, life choices life changes, and leadership in turbulent times.

It portrays Jesus calling and seeking sinners.

Being lost in a spiritual wilderness experience can create stress as a result of venturing into the wilderness.

It explores the purpose of suffering, suffering and the Christian life, suffering the sovereignty of God and wilderness benefits.

God is transforming you and he can bring forgiveness, reconciliation, spiritual growth and second chances.

What My Readers Say

Interesting, and encouraging,
Overall The Prodigal’s Wilderness is a stellar read that can enrich, benefit, and change many peoples lives so I, of course, have to award this dazzling book five stars! If you are a reader who is looking to explore such topics, then I would recommend this gem of a book… you won’t regret it! A wonderful work, very insightful - much of it content I studied in 2 years of Scripture in seminary,
Well researched and thoughtfully presented from an interpretive point of view with highlights of psychological and theological discussions.
When the wrong path is really the right path is a mantra the author encourages the reader to embrace while persevering, waiting, and staying the course with faith that God will appear in the dark or empty landscape of our despair. Chapter 6 is blowing me away in your book especially page 79 and 81…to a whole new level …parallels, analogies, leading to a deeper understanding of His true message of transformation. brings deeper and more meaningful spiritual understanding to the greatest parable of Jesus. an enjoyable read; this book is for everyone!
