Unraveling the Mystery of God’s Mercy through the Prodigal Prophet

The Old Testament story of Jonah tells how a prodigal prophet flees from God’s call only to be swallowed by a great fish, but ultimately to go to Nineveh to deliver God’s message of repentance to the people of that great city. But there is more to this story that reveals God’s deep mercy and grace which can change us.

Tim Keller’s book, Rediscovering Jonah, helps us understand how God wants us to relate to people who are racially and religiously different from us. As you read, you’ll also be challenged to grapple with the subtle and unavoidable power of idolatry and legalism that can take root in our hearts.

Rediscovering Jonah has clear signposts to help readers see how the gospel leads us to live in Spirit-changed, Christ-like ways with others—rather than being cruel exploiters like the Ninevites, or pharisaical like Jonah. Ultimately you’ll discover how Jonah points us to the One who calls us to repentance and provides our salvation, the One who brings mercy and justice together in perfect unity—Jesus Christ.
