A modern retelling of the prodigal son story for children, in Spanish.

From time to time we have all found ourselves on the dark side of life...stuck in miserable habits we detest, yet cannot seem to fully let go of. From the newest Christian, to the most mature believer, to the presently uncommitted seeker... if you have ever wondered if it was honestly worth it to keep trying---if you have ever wondered if God could actually take you back again, if He really exists, then this book may just provide the answers you've been looking for...and a good dose of hope as well.

A delightful retelling of the prodigal son story, for children.

The summer of his twelfth year, William Thornton is forced to relocate for the first time in his life. Deeply bitter over this, he withdraws into a world of boredom, resentment, and self-pity. However, shortly after arriving at the family ranch outside of Rock Springs, Arizona, strange happenings lead him toward a life-changing encounter with the Ankara, a sentient race of beings originally created as companions for man. Tormented instead as man's burden of sin spread throughout all of creation, they have withdrawn to the deep places of the earth, there to await "The Great Day". Through his interaction with this secret society, William comes face to face with the terrifying light of full revelation... and is forever changed. In this visionary piece of literature, we find a story that is both masterfully crafted and highly entertaining. The Great Deep is a must-read for the adventurous... the seeker... the young at heart.
