The Return of the Prodigal Son - Henri Nouwen

****
After years of hearing his quotes from John Hanneman I buckled down and read this oft suggested book. It was surprisingly approachable after all the fanfare and I really enjoyed the transparency of Henri Nouwen. I must admit in a world chock full of hackney Christian "insights" it was a delightfully fresh look at one of Christ's most famous parables. I especially liked the last few chapters... his thoughts on forgiveness have really convicted me.
