Description: A chance encounter with a reproduction of Rembrandt's painting catapulted Henri Nouwen on a spiritual adventure. Here he shares the deeply personal meditation that led him to discover the place within where God has chosen to dwell.

Nouwen reflects on the painting in light of his own life journey, evoking a powerful drama of the classic parable. He probes several movements of the parable: the younger son's return, the father's restoration of sonship, the elder son's resentfulness, and the father's compassion.

The themes of homecoming, affirmation, and reconciliation are richly addressed. The challenge to love as God loves, and to be loved as God's beloved, will be seen as the ultimate revelation of the well-known parable. It is here represented with fresh vigor and power.
