A fleshing out of the parable of The Prodigal Son, Keller's book is especially aimed at the Elder brother's in our society, something I'm definitely guilty of being. Keller reminds us that it's not only going into the far country that separates us from our grace-filled God, but that self righteousness can be an even more insidious way to keep ourselves from the life God longs to give us. Something I need to remind myself of every single day.

Sounds like it would be a good one for me too. I guess that I could fall into both categories.
This is a superfast read. I highly recommend it.
