The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming is a story about Henri J.M. Nouwen, born in a small village in Belgium.

Henri Nouwen had a lot to say about life and death. His message was that all of us are always returning. And when we return, it is never easy--it can be heartbreaking and painful. Sometimes the return is difficult because we needed to leave so much behind in order to get away that it is hard to remember what it was like before it all began. So when returning home after a long journey, we may find that there are bigger changes than those seen on the outside. As one man said in the story: "I often think how could I have been so blind."
