The Prodigal Comes Home: My Story of Failure and God's Story of Redemption by Michael English
toddryan's review against another edition
2.0
Meh. Started out interesting, but it's one of those books where you get the feeling they were writing the book and a message popped up that said "Caution....book is complete in one chapter" so they hurried up and wrapped it up.
It also kind of chapped me that there seemed to be a good deal of arrogance and pride when he described his "fall". It's one thing to mention that you had several wild flings, it's another thing to name and describe several of them in a complimentary fashion.
For instance, you could say "I slept with numerous women during that time" instead of "Then there was Christy, a long legged blonde with stunning features and high cheekbones".
I got the impression he was torn between wanting to portray himself as Charlie Sheen and Jim Baker; either proud for his exploits, or humbled and sorry that he took the path he did.
Not judging, just passing on my impression.
