After years of chasing his dreams of a televised megachurch ministry, Pastor Earl Stanley's life takes an unexpected turn when he's reassigned to the very place that haunts him-Pinewood Church. It's been eleven years since Earl first pastored the rural congregation, and despite all his success, the wounds of his troubled exit still run deep. The church he left behind is now a shadow of its former self, and the former lead layperson who claimed that Earl ruined the church is waiting for him with old grievances.
Upon his arrival, a mysterious letter promises him three gifts that will reveal the true impact he left behind. As Earl struggles to rekindle the spirit of Pinewood Church, he faces new challenges that threaten to drag him back into the very patterns that drove him away the first time. Among the members of the congregation is Harmony Waters, a woman who captures Earl's heart in a way he never expected. But falling in love while grappling with his past proves to be no easy task.
Will the three gifts be enough to show Earl the power of reconciliation, or will the ghosts of his past drive him away for good? Set against the warmth of the Christmas season, Gifts to the Prodigal is a heartwarming tale of love, faith, and the healing power of community.
