Short description

THE ILLUSTRATED PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL SON He was born in poverty, yet he enriches the lives of millions. He never left his own country, yet he influences nations. He never wrote a book, yet more has been written about him than anyone who has ever lived. He had no formal education, yet his teachings give life meaning. He was a simple carpenter, yet he changed the world.
