The Prodigal Prophet eBook Dylan Morrison
If you are a Christian with questions or someone who has taken a turn in your spiritual walk, or someone who has stayed away from religion altogether, you will appreciate reading about Dylan's journey. A fundamentalist Christian with the gift of prophecy, he became disillusioned with the"business" of religion and began to seek more and more for answers within himself. What he discovered is that "there exists an intelligent loving presence in the cosmos that will ultimately have its desire for relationship fulfilled." That love is within each of us and it will be discovered. To a great extent Dylan's journey mirrors my own and many others. I really enjoyed this book.Product details

The Prodigal Prophet eBook Dylan Morrison Reviews
I loved reading through this book! It was wonderful to read about the author's experience with God, who revealed Himself as pure love! He spoke of God just wanting to inundate and fill him with this loving Presence, and as I read I realized that that is what surrender is all about, it is really just opening oneself up to love! God simply wants to love us, He hasn't any 'agenda' with us, He simply wants to be friends! I loved that revelation, how wonderful to think in this way about Him..
Another part really ministered to me as well - when the author was talking about mimetic theory, he said basically that we are made for relationship with God - that is what will truly satisfy us..and as I read this, something just 'clicked' within me, that what satisfies is not having all the right doctrines or knowing 'about' God, but really experiencing Him in a relationship, as a Friend, as Someone who wants to hang out with us, talk to us, interact with us, and just loves being around us! What a joy to realize that the thing I need the most is His very presence of Pure Love within me, to just experience Him in friendship and love, and that is what/who I have and what I will never lose - He will never leave me or forsake me, He will never stop loving me, the Voice of Pure Love will always whisper to me that I'm His dear one!
Thank you, Dylan Morrison, for writing this book..as I read your book I felt that many of your experiences with religion were also mine..and I believe and hope that your awakening to just be in a real relationship with Him as Love is going to be my experience in the future as well..this is a God I am magnetically drawn to, a God I can feel safe with, a God I can love and trust with my life! I feel like religion kept the real God from me, and now I am just beginning to get to know Him, the real God, the God who is all love and nothing but love!
In the Prologue to Dylan Morrison’s record of a profound, spiritual journey — The Prodigal Prophet — the author makes clear the overriding theme not only of the book itself, but of the journey on which he and his wife have been led
“There exists an intelligent, loving Presence in the Cosmos that will ultimately have its desire for relationship with us fulfilled; even our arrogant dismissal of its existence will not stop it in its tracks.”
Throughout his book, with extraordinary honesty, Morrison shows that the journey of coming to gradually know this loving Presence has had very little to do with his own persistence… Certainly he’s hungered after this Presence for decades, but it becomes clear (through many stories of impressive, supernatural interventions) that the Driving Force was that this Divine Presence hungered after Morrison, himself!
Yet the author clearly (and shamelessly) recounts the various dead-end paths he chose and the errors which entangled him on this amazing journey. Above all, he describes what possibly remains the greatest hindrance to the spiritual growth of countless individuals today… organized religion. Again in the Prologue, Morrison writes the following
“The spiritual methods and dogma that the religious world peddled along the way [in my search for God] have been obstacles in my hunt for Him. If I know Him better today it's only because I've painfully learned what He isn’t.”
Beginning from his childhood, Morrison shows his quite “non-religious” beginning. An Irish child, his only “connection” to God were occasional visits to a Ballybrigg Presbyterian Church near his childhood home located just outside the little village of Corten, County Antrim. So many people who are religious today were raised in religious environments. But what will appeal to many readers is that Morrison did not grow up in a religious household — this made his later decision and desire to “know God” part of the gradual unveiling of his own development as a human being. Since, as a child, he wasn’t “molded” into a religious framework, this speaks to many people today who simply are not drawn to “search for God” in traditional, formal churches. Those people who sense within themselves a desire to “connect” with a Supreme Being (Who already wants to “connect” with them!) will find his book filled with encouragement and hope. At no point in this account does Morrison “tell anyone how to find God” — in his perspective, such a search, such “knowing”, is utterly an experience and an agreement between any given individual and the God Who knows that individual.
Especially interesting to me are his experience of years and decades of various religious movements — most including something good from God, but many turning toxic in the hands of denominational leaders, church elders, evangelistic speakers, and others promoting their own brands of religious “righteousness”.
Even though I grew up in California (on the west coast of America, 5,000 miles away from where Dylan grew up!), I experienced many of the same religious movements and knew many of the same internationally famous church “apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers”! Any person who grew up in the ‘60s and ‘70s who searched for greater and more personal spiritual maturity will likely recognize many (if not all) of these religious leaders who came and went during these years. Those readers who are young enough to never even have heard of some of these religious leaders Morrison encountered, will find a comforting and knowledgable “guide” in this author to help “recognize” the unbelievably frequent and phony people who will attempt to control the direction of the spiritual journeys of others. It’s clear from Morrison’s account that, in his experience, the only trustworthy “spiritual leader” or “spiritual guide” is — in fact — the Supreme Being Who longs to know each reader on a familiar and personal basis — and not merely as members of some huge, collective congregation or organization that claims to represent “God” to the world.
I can’t thank Dylan Morrison more for this honest and straightforward account of his own, private travels toward knowing God better — a path that has been startlingly familiar to that of my own. I highly recommend The Prodigal Prophet to anyone who believes (1) God exists (Someone, somehow, somewhere?) and (2) that whatever this God is, He will surely reward those who hunger to know Him more.

The Prodigal Prophet surprised me in that it was not an account of a glorious upward path towards spiritual maturity but rather winding, difficult trail across hazardous terrain. Dylan Morrison is not afraid to describe his weaknesses and failures in his search for how to give expression to his spiritual gift. There is comfort in knowing that despite the modern tendency to honor meteoric success over character, this man's prophetic ministry has been shaped in everyday battles that almost any human being could identify with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to friends and acquaintances who have lived through some of the same spiritual movements as encountered by Mr. Morrison.
If you are a Christian with questions or someone who has taken a turn in your spiritual walk, or someone who has stayed away from religion altogether, you will appreciate reading about Dylan's journey. A fundamentalist Christian with the gift of prophecy, he became disillusioned with the"business" of religion and began to seek more and more for answers within himself. What he discovered is that "there exists an intelligent loving presence in the cosmos that will ultimately have its desire for relationship fulfilled." That love is within each of us and it will be discovered. To a great extent Dylan's journey mirrors my own and many others. I really enjoyed this book.
