I loved Keller’s book. And yes, the older brother was probably more “lost” than his younger brother. I have also read a good book by Henri Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son, which is a lengthy reflection on the painting by Rembrandt, same title. Nouwen reflects on how all of us may be the younger or older brother, but ultimately are called to be the father. Thanks for sharing this!

Hi Chuck, thank you for your comment! I will have to find Nouwen's book - sounds like a good one.
It’s not a long book, but one that you can’t read just once!
