About this product
Product Information
A chance encounter with a reproduction of Rembrandt's painting, The Return of the Prodigal Son, catapulted Henri Nouwen into a long spiritual adventure. In his highly-acclaimed book of the same title, he shares the deeply personal meditation that led him to discover the place within which God has chosen to dwell. This Lent course, which has been adapted from the book, helps us to reflect on the meaning of the parable for our own lives. Divided into five sessions, the course moves through the parable exploring our reaction to the story: the younger son's leaving and return, the father's restoration of sonship, the elder son's resentment and the father's compassion. All of us who have experienced loneliness, dejection, jealousy or anger will respond to the persistent themes of homecoming, affirmation and reconciliation. Each session contained on the CD includes extracts from the book by Henri Nouwen, and background information about Henri Nouwen's life, as well as suggestions for reflection. Notes for Group Leaders and written questions for group discussion are also included in the enclosed booklet.Product Identifiers

Best book ever
Henri Nouwen’s book ‘The Return of the Prodigal Son’ has done for me what no other book(apart from the Bible) has ever done. He discusses Rembrandt’s painting in great detail and notices detail that I would easily have missed. Then he ponders every point and examines his own conscience and heart, eg. ‘Was I ever jealous of my siblings?’ Immediately you ask yourself the same question and you must be honest with yourself. . . I admit, if I had bought one copy of this book, I have bought over the years, about 32! To be honest, the number must now be running at 40 or more- why, because I want everybody to read this book!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
