  An Engaging Rendition of the Prodigal Son Parable for Kids
  In this creative retelling of the parable of the Prodigal Son, the youngest son, Wander, was willing to give up everything for his independence—including a relationship with his father and brother Goodness. With his father's cash in hand, he left for the alluring towns of Perfection, Prosperity, and Popularity. Each new town brought a brief sense of happiness, but eventually, as the excitement wore off, he was overcome by a deepening sense of emptiness. It was then that Wander remembered his father's words, "Wherever you go, my son, I want you to remember that I love you with a never-ending love." 
  The Long Road Home retells this powerful parable in a creative and understandable way for children ages 6–8. As kids hear about Wander's difficult experiences and discuss them with their parents, they will learn joy is not found within themselves or in the world. Instead, children will rediscover the never-ending love of their heavenly Father, who gives them worth, hope, and identity when they put their trust in him. 
  
  - For Children Ages 6–8: Engaging story keeps kids focused on biblical truths 
  - A Retelling of the Prodigal Son: A classic parable told in a fresh and creative way

  Christianity Today Book Awards Finalist—Politics and Public Life
  How can Christians live as citizens of God's kingdom while also fulfilling their responsibilities as citizens of political communities? David Koyzis, author of Political Visions and Illusions, offers a brief, practical guide on political engagement and citizenship.
  During numerous conversations with students and readers of his books in Canada, the United States, Brazil, Chile, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere, Koyzis has heard the same questions repeated. Can Christians participate in the public square without buying in to political illusions—ideologies that become idolatrous? Is it better to avoid politics than risk ethical compromise or division among believers? In Citizenship Without Illusions, Koyzis presents a case for political engagement as a way to love our neighbors that doesn't require our full devotion to parties or ideologies. He explores key topics such as:
  
  - the responsibilities of citizens
  - how to vote
  - mobilizing for political action
  - citizenship under less-than-ideal circumstances
  - the importance of both local and global engagement
  - the role of the church in society
  Using examples from various eras and places, Koyzis guides readers to make the best of their own political situations, make thoughtful decisions, and promote societal diversity while respecting those who disagree. With clear understanding and confidence in their ultimate allegiance, Christians can employ their citizenship for the greater good.
