SENIOR HIGH SUNDAY SCHOOL
   
                                           THE PRODIGAL GOD

Dear Senior High School Student,

We plan to offer a class for Senior High School students during the Winter Quarter (December through February) that will study the book by Timothy Keller, The Prodigal God (2008).
 

This book is a study of Jesus' parable of the prodigal son(s) and the forgiving father in Luke 15.  The author's unique title, The Prodigal God, reflects his view that the parable illustrates the over-abundant generosity and graciousness of God to those who have wandered from Him. 
 

Timothy Keller is a pastor in New York City who ministers to a large, multi-ethnic congregation.  He is best known for his defense of the Christian faith in his book, The Reason for God.  In The Prodigal God, Keller demonstrates that the Christian message of grace is for both the immoral and moral people of this world.  Both kinds of people are in need of God's grace and His friendship and God extends his kindness to both groups of people. 
 

You will receive your own copy of this book from the church.  We will be reading and reflecting on the book in class.  We hope that you will study the message of this book outside of class as well.  We think this is a book that gets at the heart of the Christian message so that it is a great book for believers and for non-believers.  It is also an excellent book for new believers and for old (mature) believers. 
 

As usual the class will begin the second Sunday of December after our combined missionary Sunday School on the first Sunday of December.

We hope you will commit to attending this class.

With warm regards,

Ken Shannon, for the elders.
