Review # 1 was written on 2014-04-28 00:00:00 Michael Koehler “Come Back Home” by Mary Rice Hopkins is a children’s storybook offering a rendition of the biblical story about the Prodigal Son. Also included are suggested activities to help children better understand the lesson taught by this parable. In this story we meet a man with two sons. One son wants to “see the world” and party hearty, so he asks his father to give him his inheritance early. His father reluctantly agrees, and soon watches his son drive away from home with a couple of his “friends” along for the ride. The prodigal quickly spends all his money on profligate living and is soon destitute. He finds himself alone as all his so-called friends abandon him for deeper pockets. When he finally considers how much easier life was under his father’s roof, the son decides to return home to at least become a servant to his father. Returning home, the boy is welcomed with open arms. His father is so delighted to have him back that he throws a big barbecue and invites all the town folks to join in the celebration. Following this story, Hopkins includes the biblical account of the Prodigal Son parable found in Luke 15:11-24. Immediately thereafter, she lists the lyrics to a children’s song about the Prodigal Son, along with several fun activities for children that will help teach them moral principles no longer taught in America’s public schools. “Come Back Home” is much more than a simple story. The interaction between child and adult that this book encourages is of paramount importance to the development of their moral compass, which seems to be largely missing from the lives of the vast majority of today’s youth. If for no other reason than that, this is a storybook your children need you to share with them.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-08-07 00:00:00 Mark Smith Wowza! This was an incredible book! It was very helpful in answering a lot of common questions that Christians have, using the Bible as backup. It really solidified *what* I believe, also helping me to fully understand *why* I believe what I believe. Mr. Little lays everything out in a clear and concise manner, referencing scripture very frequently. I like how he didn't just lay out the 'facts', but gave you plenty of scripture references so you can see for yourself what the God's Word has to say about the subject. A must read for all Christians!
