Book Cover & Preview Text
This series of books came to me in a dream. I believe that the Lord placed this dream in my heart and God wants me to share “My Story, The Prodigal Son Returns” and the following series of “Jesus is Not a Genie” books to help bring new Believers, new Followers, Millennials, Gen-X and prodigals like myself, back to Jesus or to Him for the first time.
“For God so LOVED the WORLD that He gave up His ONLY Son, so Whoever…which means everyone, Whoever Believes in Me shall have Eternal Life in Heaven with Me and My Father. John 3:16”
I learned that “Jesus is Not a Genie” and He is not there to pull us out of our messes, but He is always there with His hand reaching out if we will surrender and grab a hold of His hand. He will walk beside us and guide us as WE walk out the mess we created or are in, always guiding us to our “Life’s Purpose.”
I pray this book finds a way to encourage you and show you that following Jesus is the Safe and Secure Way to walk out your lives. I pray that you can be yourself and enjoy your walk with the Lord and not worry about what other’s think or say.

About the Book
Bob Maxwell was inspired by God to write this book to help prodigals like himself walk a journey as a follower of Christ—and not just as Christians in name only.
The author abandoned God for more than twenty years. When he returned, he learned a powerful lesson: We can’t turn our back on God and come back to him when we are in trouble, rub the Jesus genie bottle, and expect Him to take our troubles away.
Prodigals chose to follow God and accepted His free gift of salvation and eternity in Heaven, but at some point, they became angry at God and left the relationship. They turned their backs on God and His teachings in the Bible.
Maxwell recalls his time away from God as well as how his life was spiraling downward so much that he considered suicide. Overwhelmed by drinking, drugs, and a failing marriage, God took a broken, lost soul and resurrected him into a strong, God-fearing disciple.
No matter what you are going through, you’ll be inspired by this testimony of a believer who turned his back on God only to find out that God had never turned His back on him.
