If you're anything like me, you've heard or read Jesus' parable of the prodigal son and thought to yourself, "How come the Faithful Brother was the recipient of the father's correction? Wasn't he the good one?" For those of us who think like that, we're most likely also the same ones who get a bit vexed if someone we've deemed to be undeserving is enjoying blessings that should be reserved for "good people" or a group I call "The Faithful Ones". If this is you, you've picked up the right book. In The Faithful Ones, we will consider why people like us choose this way of thinking and why we should consider a mind shift so we can seek the redemption of the prodigals in our lives. As we explore the ideas of grace, patience, and trust in the Father, we will find lessons that both Prodigals and Faithful Ones alike can embrace and allow for love and reconciliation.
