The Lost Son

This parable is taken from Luke 15:11-32.  There are many lessons for us to learn from the parable of the lost son.  When reading this book, discuss the younger son's choices and consequences, the dad's choices and consequences, or the older brother's attitude.  The younger son made poor choices, but repented and went back to his dad.  The dad let his son make his own poor choices, and was ready to forgive and accept him when he came back home.  The older son had a bad attitude.  He was jealous that his little brother got a big party after wasting all his money and making so many bad choices.  He wouldn't celebrate with his family, because he was focused on his own self-righteousness. 
This is the "big book" of The Parable of the Lost Son.  It is big enough to sit and share the book, or to show a group of children.
