Please join the Loyola Spiritual Book discussion group as we read, explore, and faith share on 
The Return of The Prodigal Son by Henri J. M. Nouwen
 
About the book 
The Return of The Prodigal Son is the story of a spiritual adventure.  A chance encounter with a reproduction of Rembrandt’s The Return of the Prodigal Son catapulted Henri Nouwen on an unforgettable spiritual exploration. In his book he shares the deeply personal and resonant meditation of this parable that led him to discover the place within where God has chosen to dwell. As Nouwen reflects on Rembrandt’s painting in light of his own life journey, he evokes a powerful drama of the classic parable in a rich, captivating way that is sure to reverberate in the hearts of readers.
