The Prodigal Apprentice
The Prodigal Apprentice

Timeless tale of grace and redemption.

If you're drawn to stories that explore the depths of forgiveness and the journey back from wayward paths, "The Prodigal Apprentice" might resonate with you. George MacDonald's ability to weave spiritual and moral themes into his narratives will offer you both comfort and challenge, much like a parable would. This book appeals not just to the mind, but to the heart, reminding us of the possibility of second chances.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Tom Worboise, the prodigal apprentice, is indecisive, frivolous, and ambitious for the "good life." He works as clerk to Mr. Boxall, a wealthy businessman in London's Guild Court. On his own time, Tom alternates between two girls who love him, Lucy Burton and Mary Boxall. Tom's father, a shrewd lawyer, amends a will for the Boxall family, who soon afterward are all lost in a shipwreck. Tom's father had been named beneficiary in such an eventuality, and now ruthlessly goes after the money. Tom is influenced by his crafty father and enters a series of misadventures that involve gambling and theft. Finally, he comes to himself and returns to London where he finds love and a more noble way of life.
