Summary

"Lost Son of God" offers a deep dive into the Parable of the Prodigal Son, revealing profound insights into God's unconditional love and the transformative power of forgiveness. It explores the son's journey, not just as a tale of sin and repentance, but as a mirror reflecting God's grace.

 
The book highlights how the father's forgiveness, exceeding societal expectations of first-century Jewish culture, embodies God's boundless compassion.

 
The book progresses methodically, beginning with the parable's historical context, then examining the son's path into sin, followed by his repentance and return. The core focus is on the father's response, dissecting his actions to uncover the depth of his forgiveness. This analysis offers a fresh perspective, moving beyond surface-level interpretations to reveal the parable as a theological statement about God's grace.

 
It emphasizes the practical applications, encouraging readers to extend this same grace to themselves and others, fostering forgiveness and redemption in their own lives.

 
The book's unique value lies in its detailed examination of the father's character and motivations, providing a deeper understanding of unconditional love. By exploring themes of repentance, grace, and sin, the study offers a compelling exploration of the parable's meaning for contemporary readers interested in Biblical interpretation and theology.

    God is after your heart! He wants heart-to-heart fellowship with you whether you know it or not. 
    You see, to worship God is to fellowship with Him, talk to Him, and get to know Him.   
    We were created to worship God and our soul longs for a relationship with Him. Until we discover that truth, there will always be something missing in our lives. In my experience, people try to fill the void in their life through money, work, relationships, fame, or fortune. However, nothing will be able to satisfy and fulfill that longing but God. That is because we are so much more than our physical body and personality (soul). We also possess a spirit just as God, our creator, is a spirit. Our spirit was created so that God could dwell in us! 
    The book, "A Heart That Worships", articulates God's heart and why he so passionately wants a relationship with you. He wants you to know what you mean to him and why he would send his only son Jesus to die on the cross for you. Step by step, this book will guide you as you walk the path of cultivating a heart that worships.
