How do we deal with anger? Where do you go when we’ve hit a wall spiritually? This climactic conclusion to Jonah shows us where relief can be found.

What happens when Jonah, the reluctant prophet, finally delivers God’s message to the Ninevites? Both their response and God’s are stunning.

That Jonah’s outlandish circumstances are hard to imagine is actually what the story hopes to accomplish, because in forcing us to expand our sense of what’s possible, we encounter the miraculous mercy of a God for whom nothing is impossible.

Harrowing surprise, spiritual humor, and God’s heart for the city spill off the page of the opening to this timelessly relatable story about a reluctant prophet attempting to escape God’s call to go where he did not want to go.
