“
This book is vulnerable, extensive, articulate, and engaging through invigorating and adventurous personal experiences that help the reader to see the redemptive power of the living God. Through the writer’s journey, I was reminded how God pays attention to every detail of our lives and will use it to reveal his glory. I was taken on a journey of tears, laughter, and raw truth. I recommend this book to youth pastors, leaders, and missionaries. And anyone who struggles to see the power of God at work.”

“Michael Heil’s memoir tells us a real-life, modern-day retelling of the Prodigal Son parable. The details of his life describe how the wayward human mind can move away from God’s loving and caring, beautiful plans for each of us. As with the original Prodigal Son, the blessings of living in the Father’s house eventually make every prodigal child wonder why they are not living under God’s will for their lives. It is delightful to see the changes in a spiritually, physically, and emotionally transformed life by the love and lordship of Jesus Christ.”

We had lit a forest on fire…
We were stoned out of our senses…
My sister was calling 9-1-1…
As I watched the flames dance across the twilight sky, consuming everything in their path, I realized they represented my life. In my pursuit of pleasure and partying, I had ignited an addiction worse than any forest fire. After five arrests, a dozen allegations, a v-squad of cop cars chasing me down center street, and years of worshipping all the wrong things led me to the brink of death, I finally found hope in life. This is a story of how the initially enthralling and sometimes humorous pursuits of drugs, sex, and success cannot satisfy in the way that they promise, but there is One who can.
