  Selections from C.S. Lewis’ Little Book of Wisdom:
  “If God had granted all the silly prayers I’ve made in my life, where should I be now?”

  “Surely arrested development consists not in refusing to lose old things, but in failing to add new things…”

  “Do not dare not to dare.”

  “We are mirrors whose brightness is wholly derived from the sun that shines upon us.”

  “I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.”

  Return Of The Prodigal Son

  $17.00 Original price was: $17.00.$10.99Current price is: $10.99.

  A chance encounter with a reproduction of Rembrandt’s The Return of the Prodigal Son catapulted Henri Nouwen on a long spiritual adventure. Here he shares the deeply personal and resonant meditation that led him to discover the place within where God has chosen to dwell.

  In seizing the inspiration that came to him through Rembrandt’s depiction of the powerful Gospel story, Henri Nouwen probes the several movements of the parable: the younger son’s return, the father’s restoration of sonship, the elder son’s vengefulness, and the father’s compassion. In his reflection on Rembrandt in light of his own life journey, the author evokes a powerful drama of the parable in a rich, capativating way that is sure to reverberate in the hearts of readers. The themes of homecoming, affirmation, and reconciliation will be newly discovered by all who have known loneliness, dejection, jealousy, or anger. The challenge to love as the father and be loved as the son will be seen as the ultimate revelation of the parable known to Christians throughout time, and here represented with a vigor and power fresh for our times.

  For all who ask, “Where has my struggle led me?” or for those “on the road” who have had the courage to embark on the journey but seek the illumination of a known way and safe passage, this work will inspire and guide each time it is read.

  Additional Info
  The first complete edition of Kreeft’s very popular work includes seven unpublished chapters, along with an important appendix which demonstrates why it is reasonable to ask specific questions about heaven. Kreeft provides a look at the nature of heaven that offers all readers a refreshingly clear, theologically sound, and always fascinating glimpse of that “undiscovered country.” The author’s engaging and informative account thoughtfully answers such intriguing questions as:

  How can we know what heaven is like? Will we all be equal in heaven? What will we do in heaven? Will we feel sorrow in heaven for those in hell? Why must we have bodies in heaven? Is there sex in heaven? Will we know everything in heaven? What age will we be in heaven? Are their animals in heaven? How big is heaven? How will we recognize each other in heaven? Does heaven begin now?

  Kreeft combines solid scholarship with a lively ability to communicate his findings. He speaks to the heart and mind, blending contemporary thinking and classical views to give us an unexcelled look at one of the most popular, yet least understood, subjects in religion.
