This book is about the struggle of the author raising his youngest child and his need for total dependence on his Lord to make it to this point and to meet future struggles. His son was cute and a socialite but also a con artist. McCade was brought up in the church but never really grasped the concept of Christianity. He spent most of his life acting out because he felt abandoned by his biological mother. After having many skirmishes with the law, leading to several placements and jail time, McCade was let out of detention, only to return to his life of crime. Finally, on August 20, 2021, he was arrested and booked for something, which led him to pray through and accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior. The prodigal son had returned to his home. Through all his adventures, his father learned about God’s wrath on his children for their disobedience. God punishes his children because he loves them, and this author learned that the wrath shown to the Israelites was God’s love, not true wrath. And because God never abandoned them or the author when they sinned, how could the author abandon his son?

The prodigal son is the best story I know of in Scripture that displays the heavenly Father's love and devotion to His children. Our security is in Christ Jesus and not in anything or anyone else. We are kept by the power of His blood. The four benefits of the father to the prodigal son demonstrates that. Our Father in heaven desires us; we are in a relationship not a contract agreement. Relationship transcends beyond our sins, brokenness, and disappointments; and shelters us with the Father's love. Does God get angry? Yes, of course He does. He can also be upset with us? Yes, but never angry or upset enough to cast us away. John 6:37, "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." Consider the bond of the relationship with an earthy father and son or mother and daughter. No matter how far that son or daughter travels in the world and what they may engage in, they are still the son and daughter of their parents. Distance nor engagement in bad practices can separate them from the mutual bond they share. I don't believe we have the capacity to love our children more than God can love His. Romans 8:38-39, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."Reading this book will give you a greater understanding of the familiar parable of the prodigal son and what that means to you!

This manual of devotion consists of a series of chapters or instructions upon important points of Christian teaching which Saint Alphonsus calls "Considerations". As the Saint describes, "These Considerations are written for the purpose of pricking or of wounding the conscience... that so it may be thoroughly aroused and awakened." The Considerations deal with such doctrines and facts as have a universal application, which admit of no dispute, and which are always confirmed by some passage from Holy Scripture. Preparation for Death is essentially a guide to prayer. It represents, from its beginning to its end, the continual outpouring of heart before God, an outpouring that is at times expressed in the very same words which imply a new phase of thought. Regarded as a Manual of Mental Prayer, each of these "Considerations" has a technical and special signification. They treat of life and death, the value of time, the mercy of God, the habit of sin, the general and particular judgments, the love of God, Holy Communion, and other subjects equally important.

This 'book' didn't start out as anything more than an essay I sat down to do for some religious website or my Facebook page except the thoughts started flowing, pouring out of me. In that regard then it is a work born out of years of frustration, pondering questions of faith, feeling a hunger for more substance to what we've been taught, wondering why most Christians seem so 'unlike' the Christ. I remember well the disappointment and alienation during my early church life for daring to think 'outside the box' which is what I felt life had become in those days. Finding myself older and still having some of the same questions, I decided to look at everything I have been taught about myself, God, the world, religion and spiritual matters. I don't claim to be a prophet, an apostle, holier-than-thou, or to have reached Nirvana. I have sinned and made mistakes. On my best behavior and after the most sincere prayers, still yearning for that moment when I could say 'I got it' and I would be transformed and all would be well - I looked in the mirror and there I was. Still 'me'. I looked and there I was with some of the same thoughts, the same desires all of which were contrary to any likeness of God. But God is wonderful, profound in how he can use people, situations, things, even pets to get through to us, to see Him, to feel Him, to break through when we've closed our hearts to Him, to love.When my ex-wife was stricken with ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) and lay in bed too weak to pick up a phone, feeling herself dying, our dog Sonny would jump on the bed and lick her face which helped her hold on. He felt what was happening to her. We were separated at that time and I wasn't staying at the house. I felt I just had to go there that night for some reason though friends tried to talk me out of it. I arrived in time to get her to a hospital where she recovered after 3 weeks in an ICU ward.It was while out on a date, that my lady friend who had not ever mentioned 'God' before, brought Him up posing the question as to whether God had somehow protected her sanity from a near psychotic, bi-polar mother and allowed her to develop the bubbly, sweet personality that I hope she turns to God for His glory. That was THE turning point for me: when a sinner who never had tried to know God could consider the possibility of His love and care for her, I had no choice but to turn to Him and come home.The last four months, I have looked at life through documentaries on faith, religion, history, spirituality, social issues, and health. I've dug through books, searched the web, read the Bible, read spiritual books, prayed, meditated, everything... only to find it still comes down to: are you willing to know the truth? Regardless? And when you find it are you willing to accept it and make the changes necessary in your life? The truth of what Jesus really taught, what he wanted us to know and do IS available to those willing to seek for it. The greatest problem with the church, that is those who love Jesus and want to follow him, is not a lack of desire or love: it is what they have been taught and told is not true to the Source. We live in a WYSISWYG world, but for us Christians that has been reversed: WYGISWYS. Just as Jesus said, the fruits of our lives - what we believe, what we think - is manifested in the world by our words and actions and the results of those words and actions. We are the children of our parents. In this case our single parent is supposed to be God, our Father. But are we at all like Him? Our teacher is Jesus. Are we at all like him, the Son he sent to teach us? If not, why? And why has almost 2000 years past and we refused to acknowledge it and change?Maybe we don't want to; in a more kindly way maybe because we really think all is well. "We are right, and they are wrong". That is part of the deception. It is time to see through it and realize the truth of the Son of Man.

About sixty years ago a Bible scholar and translator by the name of J. B. Phillips made the observation that for the majority of Christians, their "God was too small." He was not wishing to indicate something about God in some mechanical way, but was rather endeavoring to say something about our reduction of his greatness in the theological sense. For centuries, the church had managed to put God in a box. They formulated conceptions of Him which limited people's thinking about Him. As it was, Nietschze was in one sense correct when he pronounced that "God is dead." If God were "dead," it would not be a stretch to say it was because the church had killed Him! In his parable, which has come to be known as "The Prodigal Son," Jesus obliterates the more diminutive conception of God's greatness, specifically in terms of the boundlessness of his grace. It was quite the revelation, especially to Jesus' religious opponents. As you read this parable and what I have to say about it, the question will be, with whom do you most readily and accurately identify, with the younger son, the older son, or with the father, and with reference to the latter, with his own "Prodigal Love"? That's the question we must answer if we would respond to J. B. Phillips' challenge. And it will tell us everything we need to know as to whether God is both large and alive in us!

These stories, set in the midst of life's stark realities, evoke such questions as: If grace is God's love for the undeserving, how do I get it? How well are we dispensing grace to a world that knows far more of strife and unforgiveness than it does of mercy?

With powerful stories, rich theology, and practical suggestions, Yancey challenges us to become living answers to a world that desperately needs to know, What's So Amazing About Grace?
