I'll Always Wait: A Modern Retelling of the Parable of the Prodigal Son
Jesus' story of the Prodigal Son set in a modern day context.
John and Carl Jenkins are inseparable.
From the day that Carl was born, John has always been right by his son's side. He's been Carl's biggest cheerleader, guiding him in life and even working together in John's local business.
One day, a bitter feud divides the two men and threatens to keep them apart forever. Carl drifts farther away from his father and deeper into a life he never anticipated...and never wanted. John's world is left shattered, praying daily for his son to come home.
"I'll Always Wait" is a modern adaptation of Jesus' famous story from Luke 15. All the familiar themes are there, such as greed, abandonment, mercy, and hope. It's a story that helps us understand the depth of God's love for each one of us.
Check out "I'll Always Wait," the next book in Brady Cook's "Parable Series." Prayerfully, we'll all begin to see the road back home.

Excellent Read
This book reminded me of how, Jesus waited for me after I lived my life my way and on my own terms, making mistake after mistakes... He never left me, He waited on me... I'm forever grateful for His grace and mercy that's new everyday...

I loved this story. The story of John and Carl is very touching. You have to have a heart to feel the love in this parable. Definitely worth the read for people who pray.
