"Show me the money!" the kid shouted at Dad. And he took the bankroll to Vegas, blowing it all on blackjack and high-stakes poker at the Mirage Hotel.

If Jesus Christ told His insightful parables here in the 21st century, is this how His famous "Prodigal Son" tale would begin? In these pages, The Voice of Prophecy shares poignant updates from seven of the Savior's best stories.

Dusty roads and "loaves and fishes" give way to transatlantic flights on Virgin Atlantic, as five foolish girls have their laptop batteries run out. A victim in a drive-by shooting at a 7-eleven gets help from the most unlikely of sources. A software mogul strikes it rich and builds bigger barns--or offshore accounts--to stash his dot.com loot. And servants still get talents from the king, and then have to give a "Year-End Report of the Ten Mutual Funds."

But one principle still holds true in this new millennium, says author David B Smith. "The Math in God's kingdom continues to be wonderfully upside-down! People work as software consultants for one hour, and get paid for a full day. Alcoholics and prostitutes are invited to banquets they have no right to attend. An angry dropout who loses his dad's money comes home...and finds a whole new inheritance waiting."
