An interesting idea from Timothy Keller's book The Prodigal God

From the forward of the book:

The word "prodigal" does not mean "wayward" but, according to Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, "recklessly spendthrift." It means to spend until you have nothing left... Jesus is showing us the God of Great Expenditure, who is nothing if not prodigal toward us, his children. God's reckless grace is our greatest hope, a life-changing experience, and the subject of this book. (p. xiv -xv)

Hence the title of the book; The Prodigal God.
