[Read by Peter Jay Fernandez]The Reverend Curtis Black hasn't spoken to his son, Matthew, in over a year . . . not since Matthew dropped out of Harvard to marry his girlfriend, Racquel, and be a full-time father to their infant son. Curtis knows that it was he and his wife, Charlotte, who drove Matthew away, but he prays that one day his son will forgive them and come home. Matthew, however, can't seem to forget the pain his parents caused him and Racquel. Still, he wonders if maybe they'd been right, as fatherhood is not what he expected, and Racquel's behavior has become increasingly erratic. Matthew genuinely wants to be a good husband, though, and swears he'll never repeat his parents mistakes. But when an old friend expresses her desire for Matthew, the temptation may be too great to resist. Then, there's Dillon Whitfield Curtis' long-lost son who has settled in as a member of the Black family. Yet the transition has been anything but easy. Charlotte, convinced he's only after Curtis' money, wishes he would move back to where he came from. Dillon, however, has no intention of going anywhere. After a lifetime in the shadows, he's determined to take his rightful place as Curtis' firstborn son and heir, and he'll do whatever it takes to win his father's affection . . . even if it means playing dirty. As jealousy builds and secrets pile up, both of Curtis' sons will be pushed over the edge and forced to take drastic action. Can these two troubled young men find their way back into the Black family fold, or will their family ties be undone once and for all?

Divine Routes is a series of short books explaining the Christian faith to pre-school and Key Stage 1 children. The series uses buses and their journeys on their bus routes to convey the biblical messages. The text is perfect for being read aloud and also easy to read for first readers. God is the Bus Controller in the stories, with Jesus the bus conductor. The buses are people, with children denoted by mini-buses. There are six routes, each donated by a colour; red, yellow, green, blue, orange and purple; these denote six of the routes we may take to know God, to the divine. Each route has a “driver” associated with the buses; this is the Holy Spirit.The Prodigal Son tells the story of the bus who doesn’t want to drive his route any more and decides to leave the bus station. The Bus Controller understands but the other buses are upset and angry. After a few days the bus who left the station decides he wants to come back. Will the buses and the Bus Controller accept him back?This is the parable of the Prodigal Son. Jesus told this story to help his disciples understand how God forgives all of us who say we are sorry. The parable shows that even if we leave God and stop talking to Him, God is just waiting to welcome us back. You can find it in your Bible in the Gospel of Luke at Luke 15:11-32.The current books in the Divine Routes Series are:1 – Jump Aboard the Bus2 – Good Samaritan3 – Lost Sheep4 – Prodigal Son5 – The Sower

When he falls on hard times, and finds himself alone in the world, he has no choice but to return home, fearing he won't be welcome because of the way he treated his father. But when he asks his father for forgiveness, he is welcomed back immediately. The message of the story is, "If anyone changes and comes back to him, God forgives them and there is joy in heaven."
