THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE Can we know what Jesus was truly like during His time on earth? We have often heard God mentioned as "the Hound of Heaven." Is this really true? Is God pursuing His children today with a love so divine, pure, and deep that it can easily be seen in our world today? Charles evokes a powerful drama of these three classic parables in Luke 15 in a rich, captivating way that is sure to reverberate in the hearts of readers. Charles probes the several movements of the parables like acts in a play. This in-depth Bible study will help us understand critical theological themes that apply to all areas of our lives.

You will see the wandering heart represented in the sheep's rescue by the good shepherd. You will see the careless heart represented in the coin's restoration by the diligent woman. You will see the rebellious heart represented in the younger son's return and restoration by the loving father.

The themes of homecoming, affirmation, reconciliation, and fellowship will be newly discovered by all who have known loneliness, rejection, jealousy, resentment, or anger. Charles issues the challenge to love as God loves and to be loved as the Father intended. Here is the Father's heart in the three parables of Luke 15 as He calls the backslidden and wounded home to safety and security. We need this fresh and powerful insight into the Father's love and grace in our turbulent times.

In THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE, Charles goes "behind the scenes" of these three incredibly touching and beautiful parables aimed at our lives. The lost refers to those who have accepted Christ but have backslidden (been misplaced) through a wandering, careless, or rebellious heart. In Luke 15, we find the road back to restoration and fellowship.

Join me as we uncover the richness of the Father's love toward His children. In it, we will find that He is more committed to our walk with Him than we are. WELCOME HOME!
