Home Tonight

Further Reflections on the Parable of the Prodigal Son

By: Henri J. Nouwen

Narrated by: Arthur Morey

Home Tonight follows the path of Henri Nouwen's spiritual homecoming. More than three years prior to writing his great classic, The Return of the Prodigal Son, Nouwen suffered a personal breakdown followed by a time of healing solitude when he encountered Rembrandt's famous painting. Within his solitude he reflected on and identified with the parable’s characters and experienced profound and inspiring life lessons.,/p>

Challenging and Reflective

Nouwen has a way of seeing details I often miss. Here he shares details of this painting and brings them together with his experiences and takes the time to encourage us to look into ourselves.

Just Beautiful!

The Parable of the Prodigal Son has always been dear to me. This expounding of that story has reminded me of so many things about unconditional love, loneliness, jealousy, foolishness, restoration, gratefulness and redemption. But most of all, it reminded me about home.

Incredibly profound book for me right now.

It’s not a book I would put into everyone’s hands. But coupled with the rewritten The Dark Night of the Soul this book has really impacted me.

We all go through seasons of loneliness and this book helped me make sense of mine.
