The Story of the Prodigal Son

Phil A. Smouse wanted to be a scientist. But scientists have to do a lot of math and they don’t get wonderful letters and pictures from boys and girls all over the world. So Phil decided to write, draw, and color instead. He has written and illustrated over forty books for children and adults, including Jesus Wants All of Me, an adaptation of Oswald Chambers’ award-winning, million-plus-selling classic daily devotional, My Utmost for His Highest. He and his wife, Annette, live in Southeastern Pennsylvania. They have two amazing children and a beautiful granddaughter whom they love with all their heart.
