The Return of the Prodigal Son A Homecoming Henri J.M. Nouwen 151 pages Image Books, 1994 Retail Price: $16.00 See Amazon’s discounted price This is a powerful and engaging spiritual rendering of the gospel story and Rembrandt's magnificent painting. It invites the reader to see him/herself as the father, son, prodigal son and always as a child of God. I believe it is Henri's best book. |

A holocaust survivor, now a professor of Bible at Harvard finds the Lithuanian military officer who murdered his parents and siblings. He plots to take "revenge." The reader must decide is it a "just" revenge, or just "revenge." |
