The Prodigal Son Or the Sinner's Guide to God


Book Description

The author of this excellent book "The Prodigal Son or the Sinner's Guide to God" was Michael M�ller, a priest of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. It is based on the parable of The Prodigal Son (Luke 15, 11-32), the story of that son that wanted his father's estate to spend it loosely and for that purpose he went on a journey to a distant country far away from his father. That story is illustrated in this volume, and as its illustrations are but chapters in our own lives, it is hoped that their perusal will prove as pleasant as it may be profitable to those prodigal children most deeply concerned in the narrative, who have abandoned their Father's household, taken up their abode in a strange and far-off land, squandered their heavenly inheritance, and instead of the Bread of Life find their only sustenance in the husks of swine. This is the same journey full of difficulties and sorrows that the soul undertakes when it strays away from God, from the true religion. The soul starts wandering about in darkness and doubt, and sinks into blank despair but at last the light of truth flashes upon the mind. This book can be this light for the sinner that wants to be guide back to God. It is a guide for those who feel lost and abandoned in this world and looking for a light that brings hope and joy to their tired souls. For this purpose the author goes deepens in subjects like sin, contrition, prayer, the final judgement, heaven and hell.
