A painfully honest story of human weakness and God's unending forgiveness. Thirteen years ago, amidst scandal, sin, and shattered lives, Michael English fell from the pinnacle of the Christian music world. In 1994, newspapers around the world blared the headline, "Gospel Singer Named Artist of the Year Turns in His Awards After Confirming He Had an Affair with a Fellow Married Singer." From 1994 to 2002 Michael English's life went from bad to worse. Public shame, divorce, broken relationships, drug addiction, even homelessness. But in 2002, God reached out and rescued Michael from himself. Today Michael is whole again, and in this book he tells his story of redemption.

The Prodigals is not a classic dystopian fiction or EMP fiction The Raydon family are not trapped in an authoritarian society where they have to survive against an oppressive government. The premise is one of a societal collapse where the familiar and comfortable have been suddenly jerked away, and people are left to deal with the aftermath. An aftermath that blurs the lines between conventional norms of behavior in civil society and what is now required to survive. Many books are currently being published that examines the total collapse of America. Stories where all hope is lost, and what was before will not return. My book is written from a different perspective. Even though the US has been severely impacted, the vast majority of people still hope that the old way of life will return. In fact, the government is still operating but is so pressed by events on a global scale that it must subjugate the homeland to its secondary priority.This novel, the first in its series, is a family saga. It looks at a family spread out across the state of Washington as they attempt to make it back to the family ranch tucked away in a remote location. Their circumstances are complicated by the attack that has been launched, a coordinated EMP attack by North Korea and Iran that has decimated the civilian infrastructure. The American military is still a functioning force and very capable, but must first deal with the external threat or risk losing the country entirely. That situation means that cities must adjust to this reality with little assistance from the hampered Federal government. This quickly becomes an impossible task for large cities already overburdened with crowding, homelessness, drug abuse, and gangs. Although most people are confident that recovery will happen, they must, nevertheless, deal with the immediate impact of no sanitation, no medical care, no power, no transportation, lack of food, and lack of security. There are those in this new reality that will make every attempt to profit from it, those that will simply try to survive it, those that will fight back against it, and those that will band together to make the best of it. The Raydon family are not preppers or survivalists. They simply realize that the best place to be is united. Together they can try to ride things out until the country can recover, and order is restored. Each member of the family begins the journey home in the dark. Literally, as the EMP has turned off most of the lights, but figuratively as well. They are in the dark about each other, not knowing how others in the family are doing, even after joining together in the dark about the future. Each of us can relate to the drama as we ponder what would happen within our own families should the unthinkable strike.

Loving a prodigal, or being one, is hard. This book lets you know that you are not alone and that there is hope in Jesus. Author, pastor, and praying father James Banks and his prodigal son returned, Geoffrey Banks, each write from their perspective, sharing their story of redemption and encouraging you through the struggle.

From the inspirational author of The Ragamuffin Gospel comes a powerful contemporary retelling of the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Jack Chisholm is “the people’s pastor.” He leads a devoted and growing megachurch, has several best-selling books, and a memorable slogan, “We have got to do better.” Jack knows how to preach, and he understands how to chastise people into performing. What he doesn’t know is anything about grace. This year, when it comes time for the Christmas sermon, the congregation at Grace Cathedral will look to the pulpit, and Jack will not be there. Of course, they will have seen plenty of him already—on the news. After an evening of debauchery that leads to an affair with his beautiful assistant, Jack Chisholm finds himself deserted with chilling swiftness. The church elders remove him from his own pulpit. His publisher withholds the royalties from his books. Worst of all, his wife disappears with their eight-year-old daughter. But just as Jack is hitting bottom, hopeless and penniless, drinking his way to oblivion, who should appear but his long-estranged father, imploring his prodigal son: “Come home.” A true companion piece to The Ragamuffin Gospel, The Prodigal illustrates the power of grace through the story of a broken man who finally saw Jesus not because he preached his greatest sermon or wrote his most powerful book, but because he failed miserably. Jack Chisholm lost everything—his church, his family, his respect, and his old way of believing—but he found grace. It’s the same grace that Brennan Manning devoted his life to sharing: profound in nature and coming from a God who loves us just as we are, and not as we should be. “A wonderfully written story that is as entertaining as it is thought provoking.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “. . . the consummate final tale. What they have created is the Ragamuffin at his best, full of hope, full of love, and finally, full of belief in the goodness of God.” —Phyllis Tickle, founding editor, Religion Department, Publishers Weekly “Brennan Manning’s last work continues the powerful message of grace and forgiveness that has transformed so many lives. The Prodigal will transform you too.” —Mark Batterson, New York Times best-selling author of The Circle Maker
