Parable of the Prodigal Son: A Commentary in the Light of the Fathers
The Prodigal Son: A Commentary in the Light of the Fathers by Hieromonk Gregorios, Elder of the Cell of St. John the Theologian, Koutloumousiou Monastery, Mount Athos., Trans. by Stelios Zarganes. Trim Size: 10.5x17cm, <meta charset="utf-8">25px40p [4.15x6.6in], 100pp.
From the Prologue: The Lord taught this parable because “Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, ‘This Man receives sinners and eats with them’.” (Luke 15:1) Christ lovingly welcomed sinners and ate with them. The Scribes and the Pharisees were unable to comprehend this love and, because of this, grumbled against the benevolent Lord, accusing Him of keeping company with tax collectors and sinners. In order to help them, Jesus told this wonderful parable which incorporates great truths for all believers.
It is to be hoped that some of the brethren reading this will make the decision to return to God our Father, whether like the younger or the elder son (whichever of the two they identify with spiritually), and confess: Father I sinned in heaven and against you. It is certain that they will hear the fatherly voice: This son of mine was dead and is alive again. And after a resurrection into God’s embrace, they shall share anew in His philanthropic love.
This new edition has been re-typeset in two colors, and includes new art.

Small, insightful content, and well made
In this little book, Hieromonk Gregorios stitches together a tapestry of insights into this chief parable given to us by Christ Jesus.
The book's content is golden, and the book's build quality is completely worthy of it. Great job! This will become a pre-Lenten read for me every year. I'll pass this one down to my children! -

PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL SON: A COMMENTARY IN THE LIGHT OF THE FATHERS
This is a great little book that provides a deep and insightful teaching on this well known parable. The author develops two major themes of a loving father and our need for repentance in our life of salvation. I highly recommend it.

We keep having to replenish all books in this series. Our readers like that they are relatively short and easy to understand.

Anything that Hieromonk Gregorios has written several significant works related to the Orthodox faith and liturgy.
Highly recommended to collect ALL of his books.
