The Tale of Two Sons: The Inside Story of a Father, His Sons, and a Shocking Murder Book

While i enjoyed this book, the reason i'm not giving it four stars is that i felt it could have been less repetitive (thus much shorter) and still had the same impact. and perhaps even more so, because the reader wouldn't get lost along the way (no pun intended).

i have previously read literature that expounded on this parable, as it could be understood in the cultural context of Jesus' time. therefore, much of the information presented in this book was a retread for me. however, if this book had been my first exposure to exegesis of the parable, i would have found the content more fresh. regardless, this book did give me additional insights and presented some thought-provoking ideas (e.g., the father in the parable as Jesus), which is why i'm glad i read it.
