- Synopsis
- "This story about the father and his two sons was first told by Jesus." It is retold by David Hately and illustrated by Helen Drabble in order to make it understandable for young children from the ages of five to seven. The story is as follows: A father has two sons who he loves equally. He explains to them that he plans to give them an equal share of his wealth one day in the future. However, his younger son wants his share immediately so that he can leave his father and enjoy himself. On the other hand, the older son does not want to receive his share early but decides to stay at home and help his father take care of the land. The story of "The Prodigal Son" centers around what happens to these two sons and how their father relates to them. At the end of the book, the author writes a short note explaining how this story shows our relationship with God today.
