About This Book
The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming is a spiritual adventure
story. A chance encounter with a poster depicting a detail of Rembrandt's The
Return of the Prodigal Son set in motion a chain of events that enabled Nouwen
to redefine and claim his vocation late in his life. In this book, which
interweaves elements of art history, memoir, Midrash, and self-help, Nouwen
brings the parable to life with empathic analyses of each character. Nouwen's
absorption in the story (and the painting) is so complete that the father's
challenge to love the son, and the son's challenge to receive that love, become
Nouwen's own. And Nouwen's writing is so clear and his tone is so appealingly
frank and humble that readers--no matter how far from home--will find hope for
themselves in the prodigal peace Nouwen ultimately achieves. --Michael Joseph
