4.5 stars!

I loved reading this book and learning more about the Prodigal Son in a whole new way. Reading this book was an encouragement to me as what most would call a "Progressive" Christian. We see Jesus in a completely different light, just as we see the Good Samaritan in this story we have heard time and time again.
This is a great book for those searching for a way to love others in these hard times, especially when people who are supposed to be on the same page might walk on the other side.

By the time I had finished the introduction to Prodigal Gospel I knew this book would be different from other theological books and would challenge the ways I have thought about God and the gospel.
Using sections of the Bible and historical church context, Jonny shares a gospel that is truly good news for all. A gospel of a loving God who is fully revealed in Jesus and in the image of the father in the parable of the prodigal son. Refuting the common view of God as a judge, turned against humanity, waiting for a debt to be repaid, Jonny shares the truth of a restorative gospel where "God is always for us and always turned towards us". A true gospel of hope, restoration and a never giving up loving God.
Whether you were raised in church, like me, or are just curious about God, this is a must-read book. You will not regret it.
