The first three chapters of The Prodigal Son which can be found on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The story follows the parable from the Bible and illustrates its meaning.

Barhat is a prodigal who is more concerned about the next adventure he has coming his way than he is about his family. When he is given the chance to leave his father's house with a wagon full of riches he takes it without regard for what he is leaving behind; the comfort and safety of home, and the beautiful Afra, whose face and words follow in the form of a memory.

His destination is the famous city of Nikat-taw, a city of both wealth and poverty . Barhat quickly finds himself in depravity that leads to ruin and is constantly threatened with failure, while being encouraged by the last words uttered to him by the memorable Afra.

Stories For Ears To Hear: A Re-imagining Of The Parables Of Jesus by TincanCaldwell
11 parts Complete
What if the Parable of the Good Samaritan happened during 9/11? What if the story of the Prodigal Son took place on the party island of Ibiza in Spain? What if the Parable of the Talents took place on a television reality show? When asked a question like "Who is my neighbor?," Jesus often answered with a story. He did this because humans often see themselves in stories better than they do in direct answers. For instance, the universal situation of rescuing someone who is in desperate need on the side of the road somewhere, far from home, resonates with people down through the ages. In Stories for Ears to Hear, Tincan Caldwell puts a modern spin on the parables of Jesus in an attempt to help the reader imagine what the heart of these stories would look like today. In his famous challenge before telling a parable, Jesus would encourage "those with ears to hear" to listen to his tales of prodigal sons, lost coins, victimized travelers on the road, and elaborate parties with no guests. In telling these stories, Jesus brought the sensibilities of heaven to the very real dusty highways and hills of his homeland. In re-imagining these classic parables (the parable of the good Samaritan set against the backdrop of the 9/11 tragedy, the parable of the unmerciful servant moved to a struggling record store, the parable of the talents reimagined in the world of a network reality show), Caldwell challenges readers to re-examine how heaven wants to invade the everyday stuff of life, like roads, parties, wayward sons, and the foundations we build our lives upon. That makes for a great story any day...
