Publisher's summary

In my book, I show how mature followers of Christ who are winning at life are similar to the big brother of the prodigal son (Elder Son of Luke 15). One of the challenges I address is pride. Pride happens automatically in the absence of humility. Pride is the primary preventer of receiving wisdom from the Lord. Another challenge to elder sons and daughters I address is handling the limelight. Many mature Christians can lose their Christian character when exposed to the limelight. One of the most important topics I address is staying motivated after achieving your dream. Chasing dreams is what brings out the best in humanity. When we catch one we have to reset our focus and go get another one.
