A wonderful book for kids and grown ups which explains the meaning of the cross with simple language and expressive pictures. We love it and read it every year around Easter!

My uncle gave me a copy of this book last Easter and this morning called to check up on my progress with it. Known as one of the biggest readers in the family, I promised to actually read it before this Easter so I can return it to him. Admittedly, this isn‘t the sort of book I would pick up on my own, but I love my family and am interested to discuss this at the end of the month and see what are the points that have stuck with him the most.

Deblovestoread Your Easter decoration is adorable! 1mo

I had heard this book referenced in a sermon and then also saw it positively reviewed here, so I decided to give it a listen. It was a wonderfully written interpretation of the Biblical story of the prodigal son, explaining the faults of both sons. The message resonated with me, and I loved all the literary references as well. I‘ll need to research more books by this author.

Daisey @BarbaraJean Thanks for moving this book up on my TBR list. I thoroughly enjoyed it. 9mo
BarbaraJean Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm planning to check out more books by him as well, since this was the first one I'd read of his. I have this one on my shelf but haven't picked it up yet: 9mo

I used to listen to Tim Keller‘s sermons on the regular—he was thoughtful, insightful, and scholarly, and drew from a wide range of sources, from Christian thinkers like C.S. Lewis to contemporary novels & films. But this is the first of his books I‘ve read—I was prompted to pick it up because of his recent passing. I loved the first few sections—drawing from the parable of the Prodigal Son, Keller redefines the concepts of sin and “lostness.” ⤵️

BarbaraJean Particularly powerful are his points about the elder brother—the one who does all the “right” things for all the wrong reasons, the character to whom his audience would have most closely related, and the one who remains lost at the end of the story. And then Keller closes with an extended parallel to Babette‘s Feast, so: 💯 10mo
Daisey This book was mentioned in a sermon I heard not too long ago. With your review as well, I may need to add it to the TBR list. (edited) 10mo
BarbaraJean @Daisey I hope you enjoy it if/when you get to it! 10mo

#20in4 Sunday update. Hanging-out-with-my-Mom break, but I‘m hoping to get a bit more reading in before bed later.

#20in4 update! Finished the first two (was already partway through both), and just barely started the tagged book. It‘s been awhile since I‘ve done a readathon, and I‘d forgotten how fun it can be.
