Synopsis

In The Tale of Two Sons, one of America's most loved Bible teachers takes you deeper into Luke 15 than ever before, revealing insights into the culture of Jesus' day and an unforgettable ending.The Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) has been preached from nearly every pulpit in the world and is known by many who read and cherish the Bible. The story is so powerful because it presents, in clear and inspiring terms, our struggle with sin, the need for humble repentance, and the Father's inexhaustible mercy and love. Unfortunately, many Christians would say that they have nothing new to learn from this gem of Scripture. It has lost its luster. But in The Tale of Two Sons, John MacArthur restores the brilliance of this passage, giving engrossing historical background and unveiling a surprise ending readers have never heard before.

while i enjoyed this book, the reason i'm not giving it four stars is that i felt it could have been less repetitive (thus much shorter) and still had the same impact. and perhaps even more so, because the reader wouldn't get lost along the way (no pun intended). i have previously read literature tha......more

Sou fascinado por essa história. Vale a leitura, mesmo para quem, como eu, não se declara cristão. Jesus, o que aparece nos evangelhos e conta essa parábola, é um grande mestre.......more

The Tale of Two Sons was my long-weekend read earlier this month - and it proved to be a great read! Anyone brought up in Sunday School will know the story of the Prodigal Son (although I prefer to call him The Lost Son, for obvious reasons!), but most will not fully grasp the import of the story as......more

Goodreads review by Paul on January 26, 2022

John MacArthur writes about what he calls the best known parable of Jesus and the “greatest short story ever.” It influenced Shakespeare, Rembrandt, and Rubens, among others. Found only in Luke’s gospel (15: 11-32), the story contains familiar characters easy to identify with. The lesson of the elder......more
