The Parable of the Dancing God explains the beautiful story of the Prodigal Son. But instead of the typical interpretation, which focuses on the prodigal son, the focus is on the character and heart of the father towards both his sons. The compassion and rejoicing of the Father at the restoration of his son is highlighted as a way to understand the character of God the Father. The Father Jesus reveals is a passionate Father who loves us forever, and desires nothing from us except that we know His acceptance and delight and live in their freedom. It offers a fresh perspective on a well-worn story and a glimpse at the joy at the heart of God as he works in our lives.
Loved around the world and used by pastors, therapists and recovery groups everywhere, this little book brings you face to face with the Father heart of God. It is simple, direct and fearlessly beautiful.
