One of the most beloved of these is commonly known as the parable of the Prodigal Son. In \u003ci\u003eThe Prodigal Father\u003c\/i\u003e, Angelo Scarano focuses on the distinctive role of the father in the parable, the example he provides of being transformed by a compassionate heart, and the joy in celebrating the return of what was loved and thought to be lost. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Scarano suggests that this remarkable parable has two climaxes--the banquet for the younger son, and the conversation between the father and the elder son--and that it is in this second climax where the real intention of the evangelist is revealed. Scarano urges readers to accept God's \"compassionate heart,\" to allow God's Spirit to transform us and enable us to live like the prodigal father, opening our hearts to the weak and the strong, the broken and the bitter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Scarano's insightful work will be welcomed by preachers, teachers, and anyone engaged in prayer with or reflection upon the gospels.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 6.8 x 4.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 17, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42597302632544,"sku":"9780814649244","price":18.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/SlY1c3NkeWdzdGJDdDgwaUM4KzZpQT09.webp?v=1771739722","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-prodigal-father-paperback-2","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
