The Long Journey Home

<p><br>The Little Prince is cloaked in imagery and concepts that are not apparent at first blush.<br>Originally written in French Le Petit Prince was published in 1943 and has transcended time and place to become one of the all-time great literary works. Young readers have enjoyed the journeys and encounters of the title character-and the book has also captured the imagination of adults.<br>In The Long Journey Home author and theologian Robert F. Fuggi uncloaks the many theological concepts that may be gleaned from The Little Prince.<br>He observes that in many ways the story is similar to the parables that Jesus taught. In the parable of the lost coin when a woman had ten silver coins and lost one Jesus says Does she not light a lamp sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?<br>In the parable of the treasure hidden in the field a man finds treasure but doesn't own the field so he hides it again and then in his joy he goes out and sells all he has to buy the field.<br>In the story of The Little Prince if you look carefully for the hidden treasure you will be rewarded.</p>
