Publisher's Summary
The Bible is an epic story of family redemption. Unfortunately, the family focus gets lost when the Bible is viewed as merely an academic work. The narrative turns into a debate over established doctrines, rather than a discussion about healthy family life. This academic approach has divided God’s family more than unified it.
Understanding Israel’s place in God’s family helps us gain insight into the extravagant love of God as our Father and the significance of our identity as his sons and daughters.
Central to God's family story is his firstborn son, Israel (Exodus 4:22). However, throughout church history, Israel has frequently been treated as an academic subject but rarely considered as the firstborn son in Father’s family. Regrettably, the division extends far beyond intellectual debate. There has been a long history of antisemitism toward Jews, even within the Church. Additionally, some Jewish people have animosity toward Gentiles.
Only when we see the relationship between Jews and Gentiles as a family can we begin to address the dynamics affecting our ability to love one another.
The Forgotten Son gets to the heart of the matter—where real transformation happens. You will learn more about Israel and how God's family fits together, enabling you to uncover the roots of the family breakdown and discover the father’s plan for restoration. You'll see the biblical narrative through fresh eyes and become unshakable in your sense of sonship or daughterhood.
What the critics say
"The Forgotten Son is a brilliant telling of the biblical plight and purpose of our elder Jewish brother. But it’s so much more than that. Every chapter opens a window into the heart of the Father...'Our Father'...in a stunningly personal way. (Cheryl Amabile, The Briefing)
"This book combines care, balance and insight into the Scriptures, history and God’s passion for Jacob’s sons and daughters. Well worth the read!" (Stephen Beauchamp, Christ for All Nations)
