I Am The Prodigal I Am The Eldest
$16.99The parable of the prodigal son is one of the most favored stories in the Bible, and it’s one that many can relate to.
When Jesus shared the story, He was speaking to the Pharisees and Sadducees, leaders in the synagogues who lived strict lives in obedience to the laws of the Torah. They harshly judged others who failed to meet their strict standards and showed little grace and mercy.
By taking a closer look at the culture and traditions of the Israelites in Jesus’s day, we can dig more deeply into the meaning of this story-and yes, the story of the prodigal son is about so much more than a wayward son coming home.
In the novel, we meet Aziel, an adventurous young man whose desire to experience life at its fullest pulls him away from the security of his family and community. This beautiful rendition of the famous parable reveals just how much our heavenly Father and His Son love us.

Regreso Del Peregrino – (Spanish)
$16.99Conocida como la primera novela de C. S. Lewis, esta elocuente, erudita y a menudo ingeniosa satira de la filosofia contemporanea sigue siendo relevante mas de 90 aos despues.
Siguiendo el modelo del famoso Progreso del peregrino de John Bunyan, El regreso del peregrino de C. S. Lewis representa una serie de primicias para Lewis: el primer libro que escribio tras su conversion al cristianismo, su primer libro de ficcion y el primer libro que publico con su propio nombre. En cierto sentido, es el registro de la propia busqueda de Lewis de sentido y satisfaccion espiritual, una busqueda que finalmente le condujo al cristianismo.
Esta es la historia del peregrino Juan y su odisea hacia una isla encantadora que ha creado en el un intenso anhelo; un misterioso y dulce deseo. La persecucion de este deseo por parte de Juan le lleva a traves de aventuras con personas como el Sr. Ilustracion, Media Media, el Sr. Mamon, el Sr. Sensato y el Sr. Humanista, y a traves de lugares como el Valle de la Humillacion.
Aunque aqui los dragones y los gigantes son distintos de los de El progreso del peregrino de Bunyan, la alegoria de Lewis cumple la misma funcion de permitir al autor decir de forma sencilla y mediante la fantasia lo que de otro modo habria exigido una filosofia de la religion en toda regla.
La alegoria de Lewis sigue siendo una ingeniosa satira de las modas culturales, un vivido relato de los peligros espirituales y una historia iluminadora para generaciones de antiguos y nuevos peregrinos.
The Pilgrim’s Regress
Known as C. S. Lewis’s first novel, this eloquent, erudite, and often wittysatire of contemporary philosophy is still relevant over 90 years later.
Modeled after John Bunyan’s famous Pilgrim’s Progress, C. S. Lewis’s Pilgrim’s Regress represents several firsts for Lewis–the first book he wrote after his conversion to Christianity, his first book of fiction, and the first book he published under his own name. It is, in a sense, the record of Lewis’s own search for meaning and spiritual satisfaction–a search that eventually led him to Christianity.
Here is the story of the pilgrim John and his odyssey to an enchanting island which has created in him an intense longing; a mysterious, sweet desire. John’s pursuit of this desire takes him through adventures with such people as Mr. Enlightenment, Media Halfways, Mr. Mammon, Mother Kirk, Mr. Sensible, and Mr. Humanist and through such cities as Thrill and Eschropolis as well as the V

Man He Never Was
$18.99Torren Daniels has been missing for two and a half years. His wife has moved on and is in a serious relationship. His kids have accepted his death. So when he shows up on their front porch two years and six months to the day he disappeared, they’re shocked and not sure how to react, mostly because Torren was a man full of platitudes and promises-which he broke 90 percent of the time-and a wicked temper. None of them can say they’re truly glad he’s back. Good man to the community, the business world. But behind closed doors? Not so much.
But Torren has changed. Radically changed. His wife and kids come first. He keeps his promises to them, and they truly become his priority in life. There’s joy. Playfulness. Love. A real commitment to God that was only a cliche before he vanished. The man he’d always been to those outside his family is now true for them as well. He’s been given a second chance. To see what life could be like if he could finally live out of the man he’s always wanted to be.
Torren has absolutely no memory of the time he was away and no explanation for the change in him. He doesn’t care. The old man has died and he’s finally the man he’s always longed to be deep down.
But as the months go on, his memory slowly returns. And the more the memories come, the more Torren slips back into being the man he was before. How can he hang on to the new man he’s become? And who is he really? The man he was . . . or the man he is?
