THE PRODIGAL FATHER

What if the story of the Prodigal Son is really a story about the Father? In The Prodigal Father, Dr. Sam Joy invites readers to look again at one of the most familiar parables in the Bible. Through the younger son's rebellion and the elder son's resentment, a deeper story emerges-a story of a Father whose heart remains open to both.With warmth, reflection, and personal storytelling, this book explores the Father's welcome, His patience, His pursuit, and His desire to restore what has been broken. It asks readers to move beyond simply identifying with the two sons and to see the One who stands at the centre of their story.Along the way, the parable becomes deeply personal. It speaks to those who have wandered, those who have remained close yet felt distant, and those who wonder whether they can ever truly come home.The Prodigal Father is an invitation to pause, look again, and discover a Father who may be very different from the one we thought we knew.Perhaps the greatest surprise of Luke 15 is not the son who came home, but the Father who never stopped waiting.
