Chapter overview (whole chapter)
A young man leaves his home and spends his money on reckless living, then returns to his father who welcomes him with open arms. His older brother, who has never left home, becomes angry and refuses to share the father's joy. The story teaches that God’s love is greater than human pride and that forgiveness is freely given.
