It is with great excitement that I announce the worldwide launch of my latest project - PRODIGALS - A Tale of Lost Sons and a Loving Father - a novel based on the beloved biblical parable from Luke 15. You can purchase a paperback or Kindle version from amazon.com in most countries across the world. This book was written on nights and weekend over the past 18 months, with a final surge during when we all went into lockdown mode in March 2020.
The parable of the lost son is an amazing story of how God receives not only the ones who are lost because they have left His presence, but also those who distance themselves without going anywhere. It was great researching the cultural elements of the story and imagine some of the reasons why the characters may have behaved the way they did. Many of us have not truly gleaned the depths and rich meanings in this parable because of a Western/Hellenistic mindset. To someone from Eastern and Middle-Eastern cultures, this story connects at so many more levels because of the cultural ramifications implied in how the events unfold. Hopefully you get some of that as you read this book - I certainly did as I wrote it!
The characters are fictional, as are many of the events - but I've done my best to connect it to historical and biblical events and timelines. There are elements of adventure, suspense, drama and humor. There's also some cool looking, hand-drawn maps at the end of the book to provide some geographical reference. And don't forget to read the Endnotes!
My prayer is that all who read this book enjoy it and get a fresh view of God's love for all of us. If you like what you read, please leave me a 5-star review on Amazon. If not, please call or direct message me - I'd love your feedback. You can contact me either way at sumit@thedyfference.com.
Here is the direct link to the book on Amazon. Or you can search for "Prodigals by Sumit Deshpande", or "Prodigals a tale of lost sons and a loving father". Yeah, the SEO hasn't kicked in.
