The return of the Jewish people is the great prophetic and historical narrative of the Hebrew Scriptures, but the pattern of return, though clearly and centrally displayed by the return of the Jewish people to the land of Israel extends beyond geographic borders to the very heart of God and the destiny of humanity. The story of return is woven into the folklore and mythology of just about every culture. It is the theme of great literature, popular movies, and television. It is a truth we all recognize, that echoes deep into the human condition. Return to Me explores the theme of return through the life of the Patriarchs, the nation of Israel and ultimately all humanity. The story of the Bible can be understood as the Heavenly father's plan to bring His banished children home; "to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad." (John 11:52)
