* What's the prodigal son parable really about? A wayward kid who returns home? The father who welcomes him with lavish love? Or the grumpy brother with a sorry attitude? Rickey says it's about all three! In his thought-provoking study, he explores the characters' different perpsectives, how they interact, and how their stories mirror our own. 192 pages, softcover from Beacon Hill.

'Boomerang is] the modern day evidence of a Father's arms--wide open--waiting and calling for us--the new generation of prodigals.'--Kevin McCulloughNationally Syndicated Television/Radio HostA wayward son. A broken father. An angry brother. A story for today.Boomerang is a thought-provoking, hope-filled retelling of one of the most memorable parables in the Bible. When Jesus spoke, He always included stories that stuck, and like every one of Jesus' stories, this one has more to it than meets the eye--three characters with three very different perspectives.Jesus had you in mind when He told this story. Brett Rickey invites you to accompany a son, a father, and a brother on a journey from rebellion and disappointment to redemption and hope. In this contemporary narrative, learn to recognize the behavioral and spiritual traits of the characters and allow yourself to become part of the story.
